<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Adsorption of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) on powdered orange peel (POP), a locally available adsorbent, has been studied. Experiment was performed on different 8HQ concentration, particle size, and adsorbent dosage. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model has been tested. The obtained results best fitted the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer adsorption of 8HQ on POP. The kinetic studies for the adsorption process were also carried out using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models, and the data obtained is best fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated for the adsorption process and the result showed that the values of ΔGads, ΔHads, and ΔSads are −1171.4J/mol, −140J/mol and −40.5 J/K at 303 K. Thus, it can be summarized that the adsorption of 8HQ is spontaneous, chemisorbed, monolayer, and exothermic</abstract>
