Brewer’s grains (BG), a by-product of the beer industry, were first pretreated by sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and white-rot fungus Coriolus versicolor for the preparation of bio-adsorbents BGPH, BGPOH, and BGPB, respectively. All bio-adsorbents were rich in hydroxyl groups and could adsorb Congo red dye from aqueous solution, and BGPOH worked better than the others. The order of maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity of bio-adsorbents for Congo red was BGPOH > BGPH > BGPB. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherm models all fit well with the experimental data. The negative Gibbs free energy change meant that the adsorption was spontaneous, and lower temperature was useful for the adsorption of Congo red onto the bio-adsorbents. The pseudo first-order and second-order kinetics models fit well with the experimental data, and the second-order kinetics model fit better, which indicated the adsorption was controlled by diffusion phenomena. Brewer’s grains with the three pretreatments could be used as efficient adsorbents for the treatment of dye wastewater.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the potential use of amino-functionalized silica gel as an adsorbent for the recovering of congo red dye from aqueous solution. The effects of pH, contact time, and temperature were determined and evaluated. Equilibrium isotherms were also studied. The adsorption kinetics was modeled by pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, desorption of congo red was preliminarily studied. The pH range from 4.5 to 7.0 was favorable for the adsorption of congo red onto amine modified silica at 25ºC. Higher adsorption capacity was obtained at 50ºC. Langmuir and Freundlich models were fitted to the adsorption equilibrium data. The best fittings were obtained with the pseudo-second order and Langmuir model for kinetics and equilibrium, respectively. Desorption studies suggest that ion exchange might be the major mode of adsorption. KOH solution was the best desorbing agent for recovering the adsorbed dye.
