Single and Tertiary System Dye Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Bottom Ash: Kinetic and Isotherm Studies

This paper investigates the ability of Bottom ash to adsorb three cationic dyes from aqueous solution in single and tertiary systems. Crystal Violet (CV), Methylene Blue (MB) and Malachite Green (MG) were used as cationic dye models. The surface characteristics of Bottom ash were investigated using...

description This paper investigates the ability of Bottom ash to adsorb three cationic dyes from aqueous solution in single and tertiary systems. Crystal Violet (CV), Methylene Blue (MB) and Malachite Green (MG) were used as cationic dye models. The surface characteristics of Bottom ash were investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Pseudo second order model was fitted better than Pseudo First order model for all system of MG, MB and CV. From the isotherm study, the adsorption capacity increased in the order of MB< MG<CV for single and MB<CV<MG for tertiary system. It may be concluded that the adsorption capacity of Bottom ash decreases in tertiary system as compared to single system. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were fitted for all system of dyes. Freundlich isotherm model found to be the best fit for all systems.
