Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Solution Using Soybean Shells as a Sorbent

Abstract
The issue of post-harvest soybean shell residue often leads to significant environmental problems due to its large volume. This research proposes a solution by utilizing these residues as a sorbent for methylene blue, a dye commonly used in the textile industry and known for its toxicity to aquatic life when released into water bodies. The study further investigates the factors affecting the sorption of methylene blue, using spectroscopic techniques at a wavelength of 663 nm. The soybean shells were cleaned, dried, ground into a fine powder, and subsequently used for sorption experiments. The optimal conditions for methylene blue sorption were determined as follows: a sorbent dosage of 0.2 g, a methylene blue concentration of 80 mg/L, a contact time of 5 hours, a shaking speed of 200 rpm, and a pH of 11. Moreover, the adsorption pattern of methylene blue onto soybean shells followed the Freundlich isotherm with an R2 value of 0.994, indicating multilayer adsorption on a heterogeneous sorbent surface.This finding suggests that soybean shells have significant potential to effectively sorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions.
