Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution Using Untreated Palm Seeds Powder

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to investigate the potential of untreated palm seeds powder (PSP as an alternative and environmental friendly adsorbent for the treatment of dye-containing wastewater. PSP was applied to treat methylene blue (MB) simulated solutions, and various operation parameters were investigated under batch system. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies were investigated, pseudo second-order was observed to be the most suitable to describe the adsorption process. Values obtained from thermodynamic analysis show that the adsorption process is endothermic, spontaneous and chemisorptions in nature.
