| Summary: | In this study, cassava peel which is a type of agro-wastes has been used to
fabricate green adsorbent; Cassava Peel Waste (CPW) powder. The fabricated CPW
powder as an adsorbent is investigated for removal of Copper(ll) ion and Congo red
dye from aqueous solution. This adsorbent is able to remove both contaminants with
equilibrium time of I and 2 h for Congo red dye and copper (Il) ion, respectively.
The adsorption kinetic data are modeled using Pseudo-first-order and Pseudosecond-order kinetic models. The kinetic data for both contaminants are well fitted to
the Pseudo-second-order kinetic model with correlation coefficient, R, of at least
0.999 and 0.997 for Congo red dye and copper (II) ion, respectively. The adsorbent is
characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy Analysis,
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA),
Microscope Analysis, Particle Size Analysis and Acid and Base Analysis . |
