The biosorption of dye, Rhodamine B(Rh-B), onto waste activated sludge was investigated. The biosorption capacity and contact time were shown as a simulation of dye adsorption equilibrium and kinetics models.
We observed that biosorption of Rh-B occurred rapidly less than 4hr. These experimental data could be better fitted by a pseudo-second-order rate equation than a pseudo-first-order rate equation. The equilibrium dependence between biosorption capacity and initial concentration of Rh-B was estimated and it was found that the equilibrium data of biosorption were fitted by four kinds of model such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich- Peterson, and Koble-Corrigan model. The average percentage errors, ε(%), observed between experimental and predicted values by above each model were 21.19%, 9.97%, 10.10% and 11.76%, respectively, indicating that Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson model could be fitted more accrately than other models.
