Adsorption of Malachite Green and Methyl Green on Cow bone

Abstract

The animal bone meal prepared from the Cow bone has been investigated as a low cost solid adsorbent used for the removal of the hazardous Malachite Green (MG) and Methyl Green (MeG) from wastewater. It was proved that the concentration used was 200ppm as adsorption of MG and MeG dyes. The study was carried out in a batch system to optimize operation variables: working temperature, time and pH for the same adsorbent quantity of bone ash dye solution. This procedure is particularly suitable and has low cost system for purification of wastewater from MG and MeG at relatively short period of time.
