Abstract

Waste biomass of Tagetes (Marigold), was used for the synthesis of bioadsorbent at two different temperatures (250 °C and 500 °C) represented as FWAC-250 and FWAC-500. Both the materials were applied for the adsorption of crystal violet (CV) dye from an aqueous solution. The characterization of bioadsorbents was done using different analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and point of zero charge (pHZPC). The synthesized bioadsorbents were found to be potent for the adsorption of crystal violet dye from an aqueous solution. Different parameters such as effect of dose, solution pH, initial CV concentration, and the operating temperature were studied for the optimization of adsorption process. The obtained experimental data were also analyzed by isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies. The results revealed that experimental data of batch adsorption study was best fitted to the Langmuir model of isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption capacity (qmax) was found 1.95 mg/g and 2.69 mg/g for FWAC-250 and FWAC-500, correspondingly. The thermodynamic study shows that the process of CV adsorption was endothermic in nature with both biosorbents FWAC-250 and FWAC-500. The biomass waste Tagetes flowers were found to be potential candidates for the treatment of CV from an aqueous solution in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way. Thus, the bioadsorbents can be significantly used to treat wastewater contaminated with CV dye on a large scale.
