Abstract

The use of adsorbent prepared from sugarcane bagasse, an agro waste from sugar industries has been studied as an alternative substitute for activated carbon for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution. Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane bagasse modified with citric acid was used as a low-cost biosorbent for removal of dyes from the aqueous solution. Adsorption parameters such as initial pH values, dyes concentrations, adsorbent dosages and contact times were investigated by the batch experiments. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were used to evaluate the experimental data. The results showed that the adsorption process of dyes onto the modified sugarcane bagasse leaned towards Langmuir model for MSB and Freundlich for SB. Maximum adsorption capacity of MSB was found to be 8.40 mg/g at pH 9. The results showed that the modified sugarcane bagasse with citric acid could be a potential low-priced adsorbent for removal of the color from the aqueous solution.
