Abstract
The wastewater from industries especially those are associated with dyeing process (textile, leather, paper and biological stain etc.) is a serious threat to environment. The colored water contains residual dyes compounds which are highly toxic to human and aquatic environment. Brilliant Green (BG) is a triphenylmethane group of dye having carcinogenic and mutagenic properties that affect human beings and aquatic biota. There are number of technologies available for treatment of dye contaminated wastewater such as biological treatment, however these are not much efficient due to high cost and long duration requirement. In the present study, Batch orange modified plant peel (OPP) were used for removal of dye from synthetic wastewater .Studies of adsorption of payments were performed as a function at contact time, temperature, pH solution and BG concentration. The results showed the efficient removal of BG dye through adsorption on the Orange peel. The highest adsorption capacity (191 mg/g) was, achieved temperature 20 degrees C and pH 3.0 with in duration of 4 hours. The adsorption capacity of Orange plaint peel is efficient even at high BG dye concentration (500 mg/l) in water. Overall, these results demonstrated that the dye wastewater can be treated efficiently by using wasted Orange plant peel, making the process highly economical with subsequent management of agro based residues.
