Utilization of Ziziphus Lotus seeds as a lignin source for activated carbon preparation and congo red dye adsorption: optimization, kinetic behavior, isothermal models, and thermodynamic properties
Key Points
Activated carbon from Ziziphus lotus seeds effectively adsorbs Congo red dye, enhancing treatment options for wastewater.
The optimized process showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 150 mg/g for Congo red dye at 25°C, with favorable thermodynamic properties.
Analysis utilized isothermal models to demonstrate the relationship between temperature and adsorption efficiency for the dye.
This highlights the potential for using agricultural waste in developing effective water treatment solutions, reducing environmental impact.
