Abstract
Modified chicken feather has been used as a low cost biosorbent for the studies of isotherm and kinetics of methylene blue dye adsorption from aqueous solution. Modified chicken feather was characterized by XRD and FTIR. Effects of pH, initial concentration of the dye, biosorbent dosage and contact time have been studied. Equilibrium studies showed that data fits better with Freundlich isotherm. The kinetics of adsorption has been best described by pseudo-first-order model.
