Today, various pollutants, such as dyes from industries, are being released into the environment worldwide, posing significant challenges that require sustainable attention and advanced solutions. This research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a novel biomaterial-based activated carbon (AC) derived from Lippia Adoensis (Koseret) leaves and investigates its effectiveness in removing MB from aqueous solutions. The biomaterial adsorbent derived from LA was subjected to proximate analysis, pH-point zero charge (pHpzc), FT-IR, and SEM characterization. The pHpzc results indicated a slightly acidic surface functional group for AC. The impact of temperature and chemical impregnation (H3PO4, NaCl and NaOH) was examined, with the optimal temperature of AC preparation found to be 600°C. The use of H3PO4 for the chemical activation of biomaterials resulted in a high AC surface area. Batch adsorption experiments involved varying pH (2–10), dosage (0.1–0.35 g/50ml), initial concentration (10–35 ppm) and contact time (15–105 min). The optimal parameters were determined as pH = 8, dose = 0.25g, concentration = 10 ppm, and contact time = 75 min. The maximum adsorption capacity and removal efficiency were calculated as 3.99 and 92.2%, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the system. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies revealed a good fit with the Langmuir isotherm (R2= 0.999), indicating monolayer adsorption and the pseudo-second order model, respectively. These findings suggest that the use of LA-AC could offer a cost-effective solution for the removal of methylene blue from water, contributing to the solution of water pollution challenges and promoting the adoption of eco-friendly wastewater treatment technologies.
