Ficus Benjamin's leaf, a native sorbent for the exclusion of Methyl violet 10B from aquatic media

Due to the use of non-recyclable materials and the high costs of the technologies, removal of dyes from wastewater is becoming more and more pricey. This paper presents the capacity of Ficus Benjamina (FB) leaf powder to eradicate methyl violet dye 10 B (MV) in an aqueous fluid. The surface characte...

description Due to the use of non-recyclable materials and the high costs of the technologies, removal of dyes from wastewater is becoming more and more pricey. This paper presents the capacity of Ficus Benjamina (FB) leaf powder to eradicate methyl violet dye 10 B (MV) in an aqueous fluid. The surface characteristics and presence of various functional groups on the surface of sorbent were revealed by SEM and FTIR studies. Diverse constraints on the elimination of methyl violet 10 B in an aqueous environment were also studied, including starting dye concentration, temperature, and contact duration. The Elovich & liquid film diffusion models, along with Lagergren first-order, pseudo-second-order, Bangham, and modified Freundlich modeling operated to assess kinetics. Experiments confirmed the pseudo-second-order concept. To investigate tentative data, multiple linear Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, as well as two parameters nonlinear isotherm models were applied, with findings indicating that sorption data were like both linear and non-linear isotherms. Sorption data were found to be in excellent agreement with the Freundlich isotherm with R2 value (0.99). The sorption capacity of the sorbent was computed i.e. 312.2 mg/g. Thermodynamic characteristics were also computed. It was concluded that the sorption of methyl violet 10 B sorption on FB leaf powder is exothermic. Hence, it is a potentially cost-effective bio sorbent for exclusion of dye from wastewater.
