Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Thisstudy aims to synthesize and analyzethe characteristics of natural clay as an adsorbent for cationic methylene blue, which can be easily manufactured as a low-cost natural clay powder. Natural clay was prepared and subsequently analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The adsorption of methylene blue was evaluated using a batch approach, followed by examination by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The adsorption data will then be analyzed for kinetic performance. The findings indicated that the methylene blue adsorption capability of natural clay reaches 72.51%. The kinetic investigation of methylene blue adsorption utilizing natural clay indicated that the adsorption process conformed to the Pseudo Second Order kinetic model.
