Abstract

The preparation of adsorbent from the mixture of rice husk ash (RHA) and coal fly ash (CFA) has been investigated for adsorption of acid violet 7 (AV7) and brilliant green (BG) dyes. The RHA-CFA adsorbents were prepared using three different methods, i.e. reflux, magnetic co-precipitation, and magnetic template. Five different additives were used in reflux method. The results showed that RHA-CFA adsorbent prepared through reflux methods using NaOH and Na2CO3 shows higher dyes adsorption removal as compared to other methods. From zeta potential analysis, the electric charge of the outer layer of prepared adsorbent shows no effect towards adsorption of AV7 and BG dyes. By using a 3-factor, 3-level factorial design, the relationship between all variables was studied. From the response surface models, the optimum adsorbent preparation variables could be obtained by using RHA-CFA adsorbent prepared by refluxing 3:1 ratio of RHA to CFA in 1.21 M NaOH solution. The results indicated that the optimized values agree reasonably well with the validated experimental results.
