Adsorption of malachite green (MG)‎ on low cost-adsorbent from aqueous solution

Abstract EN

The use of cheap adsorbent has been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for the adsorption of MG from its aqueous solution.

The low cost adsorbent Egg Shell Powdered (ESP) was successfully used for the sorption dyes from its aqueous solution.

This study investigates the potential of egg shell powder as a low cost adsorbent for malachite green removal from its solution the equilibrium time was 60 min.

The effect of initial concentration for MG, sorption time on dye removal, and dose of adsorbent was studied.

The equilibrium sorption isotherms have been analyzed by the linear, Freundlich and Langmuir models.

The kinetics studies were provided with Pseudo first order.
