Abstract

Synthetic dyes have been widely used in various industries. The wastewater contaminated with such dyes are then released to surface water, resulting in water pollution and human health. Hence, the dye removal is required in order to prevent the problems caused by the contamination of synthetic dye in water. Duck eggshells are waste material, which can be easily obtained from restaurant and Thai dessert factory. In this work, duck eggshells were used as adsorbent for the removal of titan yellow (acid dye) and crystal violet (basic dye) in aqueous solution. The effects of the pH of dye solution, absorbent dosage and initial dye concentration on the adsorption were investigated. It was found that the adsorption percentages were 84-92% and 87-92% for the titan yellow solutions at pH 5-8 and the crystal violet solutions at pH 5 -10, respectively. Either the increase of adsorption dosage or the decrease of dye concentration decreased the adsorption ability at equilibrium.  The adsorption kinetics of both dyes fit well to the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium adsorption amounts of titan yellow and crystal violet followed the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms, respectively. Keywords : duck eggshell ; titan yellow ;  crystal violet ; adsorption kinetics ; adsorption isotherm
