Abstract

The adsorption equilibrium of methylene blue dye onto chitosan flake was studied in the batch adsorption with the model of Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The effect of initial concentration of 24.4–110.2 mg/L was also studied. It was found that the adsorption capacity increased with an increase in initial concentration of methylene blue. The adsorption energy was determined by Dubinin-Radushkevich constant. In addition, the capacity of equilibrium adsorption with Langmuir isotherm and the operating line methods can be applied for industrial factory. At the flow rate of 1 m3/h, the methylene blue was removed, and the use of chitosan flake was 7.2 g/h and 2.0 kg/h, respectively.
