Abstract

The current study aims to determine how well pomegranate peel can remove methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. For this purpose, kin­etic, isotherm and thermodynamic adsorption studies were performed in a batch system. The rate of MB adsorption was rapid and reached the equilibrium at about 60 min. The adsorption capacity reached approximately 42.71 mg g-1 at the initial dye concentration of 100 mg L-1. The kinetic modelling of MB adsorp­tion was perofrmed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models. The pseudo-second-order model was found to be the most adequate for fitting the kinetic data based on R2, RMSE, ARE and χ2 values. It was also discovered that MB adsorption onto pomegranate peel is not simply rate-limited by intraparticle diffusion. The isotherm approach showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 67.78 mg g-1 at 298 K using 2 g L-1 of pome­granate peel. The equilibrium modelling was also conducted. The four statis­tical values highlighted the better fit of the Langmuir model than the Freund­lich model. Additionally, the exothermic and spont-aneous nature of the ads­orp­tion process was revealed by thermodynamic research. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of pomegranate peel as an eco-friendly absorbent for MB removal.
