The importance of environmental issues has drawn attention to the waste from industries and due to the lack of application for the use of this material, it becomes necessary a direction of applicability of this material as adsorbents, which can assist in the treatment of industrial effluents containing chemicals that may be harmful to the environment. In view of the above, the present research aimed to evaluate the use of the residue from the silicon metal manufacturing process in the removal of malachite green dye in aqueous media. The parameters analyzed were granulometry, calibration curve, zero loading point, kinetics and adsorption equilibrium. The analyses were performed in duplicate and batch, varying adsorbate concentration and contact time. The kinetic data were fitted to pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Weber Morris and Elovich theoretical models. The adsorption kinetics study showed that the best fit and linearity was obtained for the pseudo-second order model, as it contains 97.7% explanation of the total variability. For the equilibrium analyses it was observed that the adsorption process was favorable and the best fit of the data was observed for the Temkin isotherm, due to its better ability to reproduce the experimental values of adsorption, when compared to the experimental data, resulting in 94.4% explanation. The analyses and results obtained in this study indicate that the residue used presents a potential characteristic to be used as an adsorbent of malachite green dye.
