Abstract

Activated Moringa oleifera leaves are an interesting natural adsorbent having unique properties such as biodegradable, anti-bacterial, detoxification agents which make it excellent adsorbent to remove dyes from waste water effluents. The Present study reports the proportion of adsorbent using Moringa oleifera leaves and its application for decolorization and detoxification of methylene blue dye. Prepared adsorbent was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and batch wise adsorption experiments were carried out by using concentration of dye solution (5-100ppm), adsorbent dosage (0.5-2.5gm), contact time (15-400 min) at 100 RPM and 25°C temperature. Results indicate 99% dye removal was obtained with 1 gm/lit of adsorbent dose. Further, the results were subjected to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
