Abstract
Caulerpa species were used to study the
removal of toxic dye from aqueous solution. Experiment were carried out in
batch mode and an influencing parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact
time, solution pH and desorption were described. The adsorption capacity was
found to be 55. 56 mg/L and better fit with Langmuir isotherm. The adsorbent
were characterized via SEM, FTIR and XRD techniques. The experimental data were
applied to first and second order kinetics. pH study were performed ranging
from 3 – 11. Higher adsorption capacity pointed towards usage of the unwanted material
as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of congo red.
