Preparation of Rumex abyssinicus based biosorbent for the removal of methyl orange from aqueous solution.

ABSTRACT: Methyl orange is abundantly present in wastewater generated from textile industries causing serious human health and environmental problems. Therefore, this study was aimed at preparing a low cost and effective biosorbent from the stem of Rumex abyssinicus plant for the removal of methyl orange from aqueous solution. Characterization of the prepared adsorbent material was carried out using a pH point of zero charge, Scanning Electron microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The design and optimization of methyl orange batch adsorption was carried out using the Box Behnken approach to Response Surface methodology aiming to reduce the experimental runs and time with adequate results. The characterization of the adsorbent revealed 7.9 (pHpz
