Abstract

In this study, the clam shell, a waste biomaterial, was modified with phosphoric acid to improve the adsorption amount of Orange II dye. The effects of initial concentration, contact time, and temperature on the adsorption were studied. The equilibrium adsorption data of Orange II on the phosphoric acid-modified clam shell powder (PCSP) were adequately represented by Langmuir isotherm with an adsorption capacity of 1,017.13 mg/g, which is higher than that obtained using raw clam shell powder. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order rate expression. Thermodynamic parameters show that the process is exothermal, feasible, and spontaneous. The effect of temperature inferred that the type of adsorption in the study is a physical adsorption. Therefore, PCSP is an efficient and economical adsorbent for dye removal.
