| Summary: | Dyes pose a significant risk to water pollution due to their toxic components which endangers both the environment and human health. The present research is to investigate the effectiveness of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that were mixed with modified empty fruit bunch (MEFB) for the elimination of Methylene Blue (MB) dye. The CNTs/MEFB was prepared using a simple reflux method. The findings indicated that 0.25g of adsorbent dosage has the high removal rate and 30 mg/l is the ideal initial concentration. The pH of 8 shows the excellent methylene uptake along with ideal temperature of 40°C. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model were studied, and the equilibrium data was best discussed by the Langmuir isotherm model. Through the results obtained, CNTs/MEFB adsorbent shows an excellent result in Methylene Blue uptake. |
