Abstract

Water contamination
which is defined as change by physical, chemical and biological reasons causes
environmental pollution. This pollution
can be caused by both human wastes and industrial processes. Since dyestuffs
are difficult to separate chemically and biologically, wastewater with
dyestuffs damages the ecosystem and causes toxic affect to human life. Adsorption process is
one of the alternative methods in the treatment of waste water dyestuff. In this study, the use
of Van sour cherry pulp without any chemical process, which is abundantly
available in the city of Van, low-cost and plant waste, has been investigated
as a bio adsorbent in treatment of methylene blue dyestuff. In order to obtain sour cherry pulp, the
Van sour cherry was removed from stems, boiled in pure water with seeds and
then strained to get the pulp. 1 gr of methylene blue dyestuff was dissolved in
1L distilled water and 1000 ppm solution stocks were prepared for the whole
experimental study. One-way variance analysis (ANOVA) was utilized
to determine whether there was a difference between both time and temperature
levels for all concentrations. Tukey multiple comparison test was utilized to
determine from which group (s) the difference was caused by variance analysis.
