Abstract
Crystal violet (CV) dye is a water-soluble, toxic, resistant organic dye that is quite dangerous for the ecosystem and causes environmental pollution. This study synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) from agricultural Prunus avium L. (PaL.) wastes and removed crystal violet (CV) dye. In batch adsorption tests, the effects of pH, amount of adsorbent, time, initial concentration, and temperature were investigated. In this study, where 3 different kinetic and isotherm models were tested, it was determined that the most suitable kinetic and isotherm models for the removal of CV dye with PaL-Se NPs were Pseudo second order (R2:0.999) and Langmuir (R2:0.997), respectively. Additionally, the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) was calculated as 142.61 mgCV/g PaL-Se NP. Accordingly, it can be said that low-cost PaL-Se NPs synthesized by environmentally friendly methods are a suitable alternative for the removal of CV dye.
