| dc.description.abstract | A low-cost adsorbent has been tested for its adsorption ability to remove a hazardous dye from textile wastewater. This study assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of activated sawdust in the removal of bromophenol blue dye from dye contaminated wastewater. The activated sawdust was characterized using FTIR and TGA, the results of which showed an improvement and modification in the adsorption capacity of the activated sawdust. Adsorption studies were carried out in a batch mode to examine the influence of various parameters that include; pH, contact time and adsorbent dose on the removal efficiency of the activated sawdust. The data obtained have been successfully used to equate different adsorption isotherm models, where the isothermal data were found to fit well with the Freundlich isotherm model, with a coefficient of determination of 0.9998. The adsorption interaction of BPB dye on to activated sawdust obeyed the pseudo second-order rate equation. | |
