Description
Summary:The current work elaborates the utilization of Tagetes (marigold flower) as a promising adsorbent for the elimination of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution. Batch mode of investigation has been done on key adsorption factors as well as feasibility of adsorption process verified by results from adsorption isotherms and kinetic models. The results imply Langmuir isotherm governs the adsorption process, with an adsorption capacity of 26.45 mg/g. Process kinetics has been better defined by pseudo-second order model indicating monolayer chemisorption mechanism. The results demonstrate the potential of locally available, low cost Tagetes as promising adsorbent.
