ABSTRACTUsing the batch adsorption method, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon produced from Adansonia digitata (AD) seed pods has been investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the adsorbents. Following AD, HAD (H3PO4-activated Adansonia digitata), and KAD (KOH-activated Adansonia digitata), the C-H, O-H, C≡N, and C=C groups were found; these groups exhibited minor alterations following activation and subsequent adsorption processes. Looking into the absorbents' ash content, moisture content, and pH of point zero charge (pHpzc), it was found that the pHpzc of AD, HAD, and KAD were, respectively, 6.6, 6.8, and 7.2. Temperature, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, and agitation time optimization. The dye's maximum adsorption capacities on AD, HAD, and KAD were determined to be 91.48, 71.70, and 75.52 mg/g, respectively. The kinetic studies show that qe.exp 19.26 is almost equivalent to qe.cal 19.27 onto the adsorbents and that adsorption follows a pseudo-second-order model with R2 values close to unity. The results of adsorption isotherm experiments indicated that the Freundlich isotherm model correlates well with the Langmuir model, which fits AD and KAD the best (values 0.9838 and 0.9969, respectively). All adsorption processes are exothermic and spontaneous, according to research on the thermodynamic parameters (negative ∆G and ∆H). The acquired results imply that the adsorbents are promising options for industrial wastewater cleanup.
