Abstract The adsorption of methylene blue was carried out by adsorbent prepared from Acacia modesta. The sample wood was collected from Dir lower Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Chemical activation of the sample was conducted for surface efficiency. Surface of raw and activated sample was elucidated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. Adsorption of methylene blue was studied on raw and activated samples by kinetics adsorption at different adsorption temperatures such as 20 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C. The adsorption equilibrium was established within 2 h. Elovich, Bhangam, and Parabolic diffusion equations were applied to the adsorption kinetics data and were found fit for adsorption. From adsorption kinetic data the parameters like ΔH≠, ΔS≠ and ΔE≠ were calculated and showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous process. Entropy in descending order shows that dye molecules adsorbed in an oriented position.

In this study, Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) shell powder which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was converted into calcium oxide (CaO). The Oyster shell powder that had been activated was utilized for the adsorption of the methylene blue (MB) dyeing material, which is one of waste water concerns. Oyster shells were crushed and sieved into 100 mesh sized powder and then calcinated at a temperature of 600℃ and 800℃ both for 4 hours period. To determine the adsorption equilibrium, methylene blue (MB) solution was used with varying concentration from 10 to 50 mg/L in which the adsorbent weighing 3 g was put into a conical flash and shaken until the adsorption equilibrium was reached. As for the adsorption kinetics, 250 mL MB solution was used with initial concentrations of 10, 20 and 30 mg/L, with an adsorbent weight of 3 g and a solution at pH 11 for each concentration. The evaluation of the experimental data from the adsorption process is well explained by the Freundlich equation, with the correlation coefficient value (R2) found to be 0.9999, where the value of the adsorption intensity (n) is close to unity; this shows that the adsorption is multilayer or in other words the adsorption energy is heterogeneous. The kinetics study also shows that pseudo second-order model is the most applicable to the adsorption process. From the pseudo-second-order model, with the correlation coefficient between 0.9984 - 0.9999 can explain that the methylene blue (MB) adsorption process is chemically based sorption or in other words termed as chemisorption.

In this study, modified silica (3-Amynopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) synthesis and adsorption test of MB dye were performed. Silica is synthesized by sol-gel method and modified with APTES. APTES modified silica is characterized using several instruments, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), surface area analyzer (SAA) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The composite has a large surface area and has a mesoporous shape. At alkaline pH, MB dye can adsorb well. In addition, MB absorption is also maximized with the longer time of adsorption. The APTES modified silica adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm pattern. Thus, APTES modified silica can be used as an alternative to environmentally friendly and low-cost adsorbents.

This study aims to assess the use of natural waste (fruit kernels) for the preparation of a bimaterial in order to use it as a natural support for the elimination of a dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solutions for environmental protection. The biomaterial was characterized physicochemically and the determination of methylene blue concentration was carried out by a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. In order to clarify the adsorption process, experiments in a batch system were carried out to study the effect of operating parameters such as the initial concentration of methylene blue (2-10 mg·L-1), biomaterial (0.1-1 g) and the contact time (10-120 min). To describe the adsorption equilibrium, the experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir isotherm and the Freundlich isotherm. The equilibrium is perfectly described by the Freundlich model (R2>0.99) and the adsorption process is multilayer. The results of the present study suggest that washingtonia seed (WS) can be advantageously used as a low-cost biosorbent for water discoloration

AbstractTamazert kaolin was modified with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The starting material and resulting from the intercalation were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Intercalation caused considerable changes in our clay by increasing the basal spacing to 11.22 Å, an intercalation rate of 98 %. The adsorption of methylene blue was studied as a function of pH, contact time, temperature, dye concentrations and adsorbents. Kinetic data have been adequately described by the pseudo-second order and intraparticle scattering model. The adsorption isotherm is in good agreement with the Redlich-Peterson model. A change in thermodynamic values (ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG°) was observed after intercalation. Adsorption became non-spontaneous exothermic and ordered.

<p>Methylene Blue (MB) is a dye frequently used in the textile industry and a potential wastewater pollutant. MB adsorption onto the surface of solid materials is a promising method for wastewater remediation. The biopolymer chitosan is one of the promising candidates as an adsorbent for MB removal from wastewater. However, the contact between MB and chitosan induces the aggregation of MB molecules. The formation of MB aggregates can lead to an appearance of additional bands in the MB visible absorption spectrum. This phenomenon is called metachromasy. In this paper, chitosan was used as adsorbent to study the kinetics and thermodynamic parameters related to the elimination of MB as single molecules (Sng-MB) and aggregates (Agg-MB) species from simulated wastewater. It was found that, for MB single molecules or aggregates, the adsorption process follows the pseudo second order adsorption kinetics model. For each temperature studied, Agg-MB always presented higher rate constant than Sng-MB, indicating a faster adsorption of Agg-MB in comparison to Sng-MB. Additionally, the adsorption process presented a lower activation energy for Agg-MB, indicating Agg-MB adsorption is favored in relation to Sng-MB. The thermodynamic studies indicated the adsorption process for both MB species is endothermic and spontaneous from 298 to 348 K. The adsorption isotherms could be properly fitted and interpreted according to Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Studies varying the initial pH of MB solution indicated that metachromasy could be suppressed in acidic pH values, whereas alkaline pH values led to an increase in the removal percentage of Sng-MB and Agg-MB in relation to neutral conditions. The analysis of chitosan powder before and after adsorption indicated the adsorption process does not cause structural changes to the chitosan. The kinetic and thermodynamic study of the relative adsorption of MB single molecules and aggregates onto chitosan can provide fundamental information for MB wastewater remediation.</p>

In this study, the Moroccan Olive Core (OC) was chosen for the preparation of a bio-adsorbent for the purpose of using it as a natural support to remove two synthetic dyes: Methyl Blue (MB) and Crystal Violet (CV) from aqueous solutions. Tow adsorbent characterization techniques were used: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Influence of some parameters is studied to characterize the adsorption process: contact time (0-45 min), temperature (25 -100 °C) and initial concentration of MB and CV (10-30 mg.l-1). Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models were used to describe the adsorption equilibrium. The equilibrium is perfectly described by the Freundlich model whose correlation coefficient is equal to 0.995 for MB and 0.991 for CV. Thermodynamic parameters were valued, and they showed that, for both dyes, the adsorption on MOC is endothermic and spontaneous.

The residue of erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil) was used as a potential adsorbent to remove methylene blue in aqueous solutions. Three particle sizes and three agitation speeds were evaluated on the adsorption process. The kinetic equilibrium was reached about 350 minutes. The kinetic model of pseudo-second order was the one that best described the kinetic data of adsorption. The equilibrium data were better represented by Langmuir model with a qmax of 44.84 mg.g-1 for a temperature of 30°C. The residue of erva-mate proved to be an alternative adsorbent with potential to removal of this dye.
