Modified Spent Tea Leaves as Bioadsorbent for Methyl Orange Dye Removal
In this work, the removal of Methyl Orange (MO) from aqueous solution was studied using a new nonconventional and eco-friendly adsorbent, spent tea leaves (STL). Untreated and acid treated STL were used as bio-adsorbent for removal of MO using batch method. Effects of different STL dosages (1 – 4...

description |
In this work, the removal of Methyl Orange (MO) from aqueous solution was studied using a new nonconventional
and eco-friendly adsorbent, spent tea leaves (STL). Untreated and acid treated STL were
used as bio-adsorbent for removal of MO using batch method. Effects of different STL dosages (1 – 4
g), pH solutions (2–11) and initial dye concentrations (10 – 60 mg/L) were investigated. Adsorption
experiments conducted using acid treated STL resulted in higher MO removal efficiency ranging from
79 to 92% for 1-4 g of adsorbent dosage compared to the untreated ones which resulted in only 18 to
56% of removal for the similar amount of dosage. In addition, acidic condition favours the MO removal
as compared to alkaline medium. Experimental data were analysed using the Langmuir and Freundlich
models of adsorption and it was found that adsorption isotherm was best described by Freundlich model
and pseudo-first order equation with high correlation coefficient. Results revealed that acid treated STL,
being a waste, has the greater potential to be used as adsorbent for MO removal from aqueous solution
