Malachite Green is a synthetic dye. It is a water pollutant from various industries. It contaminates the water resources and thus harms the environment. This study involves the removal of malachite green dye from its aqueous solution by using yellow cucumber (cucumis sativus) peels, Chickoo (Manilkara zapota) peels and bitter gourd (Momordica charantia)seeds are as well as by using activated carbon derived from these peels and seeds and these are found to be effective biosorbents. Malachite Green aqueous solution is used in different concentrations. The effect of pH and amount of adsorbent dosage is also studied. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms have been verified by the experimental data.
