Abstract There are many types of biomass by-products with wide sources. When they are used as raw material to synthesize adsorbent for the treatment of dye-containing wastewater, the overall sewage treatment cost would be very low, which makes it full of feasibility. In view of this, a biomass aerogel (WUA) was prepared using watermelon peel as raw material by hydrothermal-freeze drying method, to study its performance on the adsorption of anionic and cationic dyes. The effects of solution pH, initial concentration, coexisting salt concentration and temperature on the adsorption process were further investigated. The results show that WUA exhibits good adsorption effect on Congo Red (CR) and Malachite Green (MG). In near-neutral solution environment, the adsorption capacity of MG is larger than that of CR obviously. Moreover, the adsorption of WUA on dyes shows a good performance to resist the influence of coexisting ions, and maintains large capacities in high concentration NaCl solution. Combining the molecular structures of WUA and the two dyes, electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding are the main driving forces of the adsorption process.
