Batch Adsorption of Methylene Blue Dyestuff Using Van Sour Cherry Pulp and Statistical Comparison

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.
