Abstract

Mangosteen peel from agricultural waste was treated with concentrated sulphuric acid, resulting in a carbonized mangosteen peel powder (CMPP). It was applied as a biosorbent to adsorb hair dye from an aqueous solution. The biosorbent was characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis, and Fourier-transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial pH on the adsorption capacity and the percentage of hair dye removal. Optimal conditions for hair dye decolorization were 90 min of contact time, 0.25 g biosorbent in 50 ml of aqueous solution, and initial pH of 7.69. With these conditions, the adsorption capacity (qe) was 25.25 mg/g, and the percentage removal of hair dye was 72.14%. The experimental data were demonstrated to well follow the presumption of the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The findings show that carbonized mangosteen peel can be utilized as a low-cost biosorbent for hair dye removal in aqueous solution.
