Adsorption of cationic dyes by perilite clay- Tio2 nanocomposite

Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to study the feasibility of removal of methyl violet using perilite-TiO2 nanocomposite as an adsorbent. The commercially available Perilite and TiO2 are stirred with alcohol, dried and used. Batch adsorption experiments have been conducted under various operating parameters like initial dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose and pH. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.
