In this research, treated and untreated waste jute fabric has been used to remove basic dye from aqueous solution by using the dye bath method. Wastage jute fabric was treated by scouring and bleaching. The effect of adsorbent mass on dye removal %, reflectance, and whiteness index has been examined. Furthermore, the effect of pH on dye removal % has been investigated. Maximum dye removal % achieved within 30-45 minutes while 14g treated waste jute fabric used as adsorbent. The adsorption capacity increased from 59.5 to 96 %, with increasing the pH of the aqueous solution from 3 to 10.5 while using treated adsorbents. Whiteness index and reflectance was increased with increasing the adsorbent mass. |
