 Preparation of Dye Adsorbent

Synthetic activated carbon in The tablet is ground by mortar and

tablet form is obtained. pestle to obtain powdered form of
adsorbent to increase its surface area.

The powder is slowly dried in Sieving the carbon powder to obtain

the oven at 60 to remove any same size of powder particle to
moisture. optimize efficiency.

 Preparation of Dye Solution

Prepared solution of methylene

blue dye is available for
laboratory use.

The solution was prepared by dissolving

the required amount of dye in distilled
water in the Erlenmeyer flask.
  Experimental Procedure

Mixed 0.1g of powdered Pipette the solution and place

adsorbent with diluted dye in the cuvette.
solution in the conical flask.

The solution is centrifuged in

Repeat experiment by using different
laboratory centrifuge machine to
adsorbent dosage as 0.3g and 0.5g
separate liquid layer and the
respectively.
supernatant containing adsorbent.

Analyze the supernatant to determine

The concentration of methylene blue the concentration of remaining
dye in the solution can be determined methylene blue dye in the solution
using the standard curve obtained. using spectrophotometer.

Once placed in the correct slot, Calibrate the system in
