The by-products from the agricultural and industrial could be assumed to be low-cost adsorbents. They are abundant in nature, inexpensive, require little processing, effective materials and ability to remove cationic dye from aqueous solution. The aim of the present study is to investigate the removal of congo red dye ions from aqueous solutions using bioserbents such as pirina, sea food shell and almond shell. The optimum conditions for adsorption by using a batch method were evaluated by changing contact time and initial dye concentration. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm equations were derived form the basic empirical equations, and used for calculation of adsorption parameters. The equilibrium data fit well the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm. Three simplified models including Pseudo-Second-Order, Interparticle Diffusion and Elovich were used to test the adsorption kinetics. These results indicate a significant potential for the pirina, sea food shell and almond shell as an biosorbent material for congo red dye removal. </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi}
