Abstract: Adsorption Characteristics of basic dye (Basic Blue 17) using fruit waste obtained from juice processing industry was studied. The adsorption equilibrium capacity of basic dye onto the fruit waste increased with increasing initial pH and with increasing temperature of the solution. Adsorption equilibrium of basic dye onto the adsorbent could be represented by Langmuir isotherm equation. The kinetic data were fitted to the pseudo second order and Elovich models. Thermodynamic parameters such as change in the free energy, the enthalpy and the entropy were also evaluated. Desorption studies of dye in organic acid suggest that the adsorption of basic dye onto fruit waste involves chemisorption mechanism. The adsorbent material could be employed as low cost adsorbent as alternative material to commercial activated carbon for the removal of Basic blue 17.
