Abstract

Developing sustainable and economically viable removal approaches is crucial, due to the rampant use of synthetic dyes, such as crystal violet, in effluent poses significant environmental and health hazards. To remove crystal violet from aqueous medium, this work emphasizes the application of three inexpensive biosorbents, namely tea waste (TW), rice husk (RH) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The functional and structural properties of the biosorbents were determined using FTIR, FE-SEM, pHpzc analysis, XRD and BET surface area measurements. To optimize the experimental parameters, batch adsorption experiments were performed at an initial concentration of 40 ppm of dye, a biosorbent dosage of 1 g/L, a solution pH of 9 and a temperature of 30 ºC, which resulted in maximum adsorption efficiency. Analysis of the isotherm data showed that crystal violet adsorption predominantly followed the Langmuir model. The biosorbents SCB, RH and TW exhibited the maximum adsorption capacities (qm) of 61.35, 58.82 and 53.19 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic results indicated a strong correlation with the pseudo-second-order model, implying that chemical interactions played a significant role in the adsorption process. The research illustrates that TW, RH and SCB are simple, affordable, readily available and efficient options for use as biosorbents in wastewater treatment.
