ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS AND KINETICS STUDIES OF THE REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING Chrysophyllum albidum SEED SHELL

Key Points

• Methylene blue removal from aqueous solutions was significantly effective using Chrysophyllum albidum seed shells, achieving high adsorption rates.
• Kinetic analysis revealed a rapid uptake of methylene blue, with equilibrium established within a short timeframe of observation.
• Adsorption isotherms were characterized, demonstrating the suitability of the seed shell material for effectively binding the dye molecules.
• These findings highlight the potential for using natural materials in wastewater treatment, especially in sustainable and cost-effective applications.
