Abstract: A batch sorption system using tree fern as biosorbent was investigated to remove Basic
Red 13 from aqueous solutions. The system variables studied include sorbent particle size and
temperature and results revealed the potential of tree fern, an agriculture product, as a low-cost
sorbent. The Langmuir isotherm was found to represent the measured sorption data well. The
dye sorption capacity of tree fern increased as the sorbent particle size decreased. Maximum
saturated monolayer sorption capacity of tree fern for Basic Red 13 was 408 mg/g. Various
thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were calculated indicating that this
system was a spontaneous and endothennic process. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
