Taoualit N., Boutemak K., Bensacia N., Chitache C., Merabet S., 2024, The Use of Moringa Oleifera Seeds in the Retention of Basic Fuchsin Dye : Influence of Operational Parameters, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 109, 1-6.
Moringa Oleifera Seeds (MOS) were used in their natural state, without preparation or chemical modification, to study the retention of Basic Fuchsin (BF) dye from aqueous solutions in a batch adsorber at room temperature. The characterization of the material was carried out by FTIR and SEM-EDX techniques. The pseudo-first order model describes well the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption isotherms of adsorbent/adsorbate systems are satisfactorily described by the Freundlich model which supposes a multilayer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. The experiments carried out have shown that MOS materials are suitable for discoloration of wastewater. They have a remarkable efficiency in the field of water treatment and can be envisaged for use as alternative adsorbent.
