Removal of Congo Red from Aqueous Solution by Waste Banana Pith
The ability of waste banana pith to remove Congo red from aqueous solution was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH effect were studied. The adsorption rate constant was found to be 1 X 10.1 min'} at 50 mg I-I dye concentra...

| description |
The ability of waste banana pith to remove Congo red from aqueous solution
was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact
time, adsorbent dosage and pH effect were studied. The adsorption rate
constant was found to be 1 X 10.1 min'} at 50 mg I-I dye concentration. Above
92% removal was observed in the pH range 2-11. The removal of dye by banana
pith is mostly due to chemisorption. |
