Adsorption of Acid Brown-340 on Silica Based Adsorbent

Abstract

Salman Khan

Acid Brown-340 is a valuable and prominent dye which Having Serious effect our environment due to its acidic nature.
Usually, this dye is coming out of different industries and accumulate in various water bodies such lakes, ocean and fresh water
ecosystem. In this Present study silica monolith particles were synthesized by the renovated sol-gel process under controlled
environment of heating steps. The newly prepared functionalized silica monolith particles were used as an adsorbent for the
removal of acid brown-340 from aqueous solution. Particles originating from silica monolith were effective adsorbent for the
removal of selective dye due to its various sorts such as enlarged surface area, high permeability due to monolith like nature
leading to high loading capability, and mechanical strength to various PH. Adsorption capacity of silica was firm with respect
to different parameters at certain point of time. By adjusting certain parameter such as PH at range 2-8 Concentration
taken as range from 0.02-0.1 and time as taken as range from 15mins to 75mins. Then Acid brown-340 shows the greatest
adsorption with particles originating from silica monolith when the optimized values of the parameters for acid brown-340
are PH is 2, adsorbent dose is 0.06g, and Contact time is 75 min.
