Summary: | In this study, the dromedary bone waste was valorized by the obtainment of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and its application to remove crystal violet (CV) dye from aqueous solution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis X‐ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), particle size laser analysis, and the point of zero charge pH value (pHpzc) were realized to characterize the natural adsorbent. The capacity of HAp to adsorb CV was measured at different contact times, pH values, and initial dye concentrations. The results showed that the model that better described the experimental data of adsorption kinetics was the pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model (PSO). Freundlich model well fitted the sorption isotherms. A maximum sorption capacity of 266.66 mg/g of CV dye on natural HAp was obtained. Hence, dromedary bone treated might be valorized as a natural adsorbent for water treatment with low environmental risks. |
