Abstract
Calcium hydroxide nanoadsorbent was prepared from waste bivalve clamshells and used for the adsorptive removal of Acid Blue 113 (AB113) dye. The morphology, elemental nature, functional groups, and thermal stability of the nanoadsorbent were characterized by various methods. The nanoadsorbent had a high monolayer adsorption capacity (153.53 mg/g) for AB113 dye. Langmuir and Temkin isotherms better fitted (R2 > 0.95) the experimental data. The adsorption rate followed pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 > 0.99). The thermodynamic study ascertained spontaneous and exothermic adsorption. This study confirmed the possibility of using calcium hydroxide as an adsorbent to effectively remove AB113 dye from aqueous solutions.
