Abstract
Abstract
The Neutral Red (NR) dye is an important cationic dye used in various industries, however it pollutes the environment via disposal of industrial waste into water. Therefore, in this research, adsorption process is used, for the removing this dye by using Java plum tree leave as an adsorbent. Various reaction parameters such as contact time, concentration of the dye in solution, dose of the adsorbent, and pH were selected to study the removal of the dye from wastewater. The maximum percent removal 92.5% and Qe value 55.49 mg/g for NR dye removal was achieved at optimized conditions. The result shows that experimental data fitted Freundlich adsorption isotherm with R2 of 0.94. Pseudo First Order kinetics followed the data. The results showed that java plum tree leaves is an inexpensive and environmental friendly adsorbent, which can be used for the removal of cationic NR dye from wastewater.
