| Abstract The present study is related to the removal of colorants. Adsorption of Malachite green dye on residual tea leaves was studied as a function of temperature, amount of adsorbent and pH. A spectrophotometer technique was used for measuring the extent of adsorption. The data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich, isotherm equations and their corresponding constants were calculated from the slopes and intercepts of their respective lines. The measured adsorption isotherms at the different temperatures 298 K, 308 K and 318 K were found that adsorption increase as the temperature increase within this range. from the measured adsorption isotherms at different pHs 3, 5 and 7 it was found that the adsorbed amount of MG dye increases with increased acidity. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard enthalpy change (∆Ho), standard Gibbs energy change (∆Go), and standard entropy change (∆So) of adsorption were calculated, and were explained in the mean of the chemical structure of the adsorbate. Results are showed that the adsorption process is endothermic. | ||
