Abstract

The need to develop a more efficient adsorbent, comparable to the commercially available adsorbent, is attracting important interest as a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment. In this study, the potential of Syzgium Aromaticum Flower Bud (SAFB) and Activated (SAFB) for the removal of reactive green dye (RG) of aqueous solution was reported. Has been widely utilized as highly effective adsorbent for RG dye because of its large specific surface area, high porosity, and favorable pore size distribution. Maximum adsorption of removal percentage 68.21% of (SAFB) and 94.23% of ACTIVE-SAFB was reported for dye, which influenced process variables (initial RG concentration, PH and adsorbent mass) on the removal of RG solution were investigated. The data appear isotherm Freundlich gave the better fit and an adsorption efficiency of 38.05 mg/g of (SAFB) and 101.142 mg/g of ACTIVE-SAFB was obtained for dye at solution pH value of 6.2, adsorbent quantity at 0.05 g of (SAFB), ACTIVE-SAFB and equilibrium time of 2 hr.
