Abstract

This study focuses on the use of biochar, pyrolyzed from textile waste at 600 °C under anaerobic conditions, to treat methylene blue dye in water and at the same time creating an environmentally friendly adsorbent material. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of operating parameters such as pyrolysis temperature (400, 600, and 800 °C), solution pH (3–11), adsorbent mass (0.1–1.0 g), contact time (30–240 min), and initial methylene blue concentration (50–500 mg/L) on the treatment efficiency. The results showed that the optimal conditions included pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C, adsorption time of 90 min, methylene blue concentration of 100 mg/L, pH of 9 and biochar dosage of 0.4 g. Under these conditions, the color removal efficiency reached 97.97% and the COD reduction reached 68.38%, indicating significant organic pollution treatment ability. The adsorption data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model (R² = 0.9365, KF = 1.38), reflecting the multilayer adsorption process on a heterogeneous surface with relatively high affinity. The research results indicated that biochar materials from textile waste can be applied in the treatment of industrial wastewater containing methylene blue, contributing to solving the problem of environmental pollution and promoting the trend of sustainable development in the chemical and environmental industries.
