Abstract:
Textile dyes in wastewater can be
removed by several methods including adsorption. In this
study, batch experiments were conducted to determine the
possibility of the removal of Basic Red 18 (BR18) textile
dye from aqueous solutions using Magnetic Nanoparticles
loaded Tea Waste (MNLTW). The effects of various
parameters such as adsorbent dosage, solution pH, initial
dye concentration and contact time were studied under
room temperature and kinetic data were fitted to a pseudo
second-order model. Experimental results indicated
MNLTW is a potential substance that can be used for the
removal of BR18 dye from wastewater.
