DECOLOURIZATION OF MALACHITE GREEN USING TAMARIND SEED: OPTIMIZATION, ISOTHERM AND KINETIC STUDIES

TIn this work, removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution using a low cost adsorbent, tamarind seed, was investigated. The adsorbent was characterized using SEM, BET surface area analyzer, and FT-IR. Decolourization of malachite green was studied as a function of different adsorption para...
