Studies on Removal of Methylene Blue Color Using Waste Tea Power as an Adsorbent

The studies of adsorption were carried out in batch scale to estimate the different adsorption parameters concerning the efficiencies of dye removal from aqueous solutions. The data for contact time obtained from the adsorption of methylene blue on the waste material such as Waste Tea Powder (WTP) show that a contact time of 25 min and there was no significant change in concentration of the dye with further increase in contact time. The strategy of pH versus percentage adsorption shows the significant adsorption takes place with WTP for dye at 6 only.
