Isotherm and Kinetic Studies of Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption Using Sulfuric Acid Activated Nigerian Montmorillonite ClayBy Onwuka K. E., Osigwe C.E., Achilike K.O., Ezeaku I.I.
Abstract: The Presence of methylene blue and other basic dyes in water causes various harmful effects for both human and aquatic species. In this study, montmorillonite clay in its raw and acid (0.5M H2SO4) activated states were investigated for the sorption of methylene blue dye. The structural changes due to acid treatment were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied parameters that affect adsorption efficiency were …
