Adsorption of reactive magenta and methyl red from aqueous solution using activated carbons

Stress Three adsorbents, namely, Bagasse carbon(BC), silk cotton shell carbon( SCSC) and sorghum vulgare carbon (SVC) were prepared for the adsorption of reactive magenta(RM) and methyl red(MR). Adsorption was studying by optimize the process parameters such as the effect of the experimental parameter like, initial concentration of dyes, contact time, dose of adsorbent, pH and extent of removal of dye from water. The kinetic data were fitted to thepseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin adsorption isotherms and various kinetic equation and models like Natarajan and Khalaf, Lagergren, Bhattacharya, pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and intra particle diffusion model for the adsorption data by employing linear regression analysis with the help of computer. The results are confirmed by before and after adsorption process with the help of the following instrumental techniques viz., FT-IR Spectrophotometer.
