Novel removal of water-insoluble disperse dye onto a low-cost adsorbent prepared from tropical fruit waste
The potential of tropical fruit waste (durio zibethinus husk, DZH) as a low-cost adsorbent for removal of disperse blue 60 (DB 60) from an aqueous medium was studied under various conditions such as effects of adsorbent surface modification, contact time, pH, and temperature. The removal percentage...

Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption was endothermic and not spontaneous at low temperature, and was controlled by a chemisorption process.
