Abstract


The considerations of activated Albizia lebbeck leaves by synthesis with auto phosphoric acid for environmental remediation as a cost-effective and highly efficient pollutant removal technique is a stepping stone for further research. This research evaluated the removal efficiency of activated Albizia lebbeck leaves on the reduction of methylene blue concentration from solution through a series of batch adsorption processes. The Albizia lebbeck leaves were carbonized at temperature of 3000C for 2hours and 30minutes. The synthesized Albizia lebbeck leaves-derived adsorbent was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, solution temperature, initial concentration and pH on the reduction of chromium from solution was investigated. The BET surface area, pore volume and pore size of the activated adsorbent was found to be greater than that of the blank adsorbent. The FTIR analysis established the presence of sharper peaks in the activated adsorbent compared to the blank adsorbent, and the presence of more surface functional groups. Batch adsorption results revealed that the removal of chromium from the solution was dependent of contact time, solution temperature, pH, and adsorbent dosage with the optimum value of 120 minutes, 600C, pH of 6, and 0.2g respectively within the design space. It can be inferred that activated Albizia lebbeck leaves is an effective adsorbent for removal of dye. Hence it may be explored for removal of heavy concentration of dye in different solutions from various industrial wastewater sources.
