Equilibrium, kinetics, mechanism, and process design for the sorption of methylene blue onto rice husk

Batch experiments were carried out for the sorption of methylene blue onto rice husk particles. The operating variables studied were initial solution pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent concentration, and contact time. Equilibrium data were fitted to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equations and the equilibrium data were found to be well represented by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The monolayer sorption capacity of rice husks for methylene blue sorption was found to be 40.5833 mg/g at room temperature (32 degrees C). The sorption was analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the sorption kinetics was found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Also the applicability of pseudo second order in modeling the kinetic data was also discussed. The sorption process was found to be controlled by both surface and pore diffusion with surface diffusion at the earlier stages followed by pore diffusion at the later stages. The average external mass transfer coefficient and intraparticle diffusion coefficient was found to be 0.01133 min(-1) and 0.695358 mg/g min0.5. Analysis of sorption data using a Boyd plot confirms that external mass transfer is the rate limiting step in the sorption process. The effective diffusion coefficient, Di was calculated using the Boyd constant and was found to be 5.05 x 10(-04) cm2/s for an initial dye concentration of 50 mg/L. A single-stage batch-adsorber design of the adsorption of methylene blue onto rice husk has been studied based on the Langmuir isotherm equation.

Unburned carbon as a low-cost adsorbent for treatment of methylene blue-containing wastewater

Fly ash, natural zeolite, and unburned carbon separated from fly ash have been employed as low-cost adsorbents for dye adsorption in methylene blue-containing wastewater. It is found that the unburned carbon exhibits a much higher adsorption capacity than raw fly ash and natural zeolite. The adsorption capacities of fly ash, natural zeolite, and unburned carbon for methylene blue are 2 x 10(-5), 5 x 10(-5), and 2.5 x 10(-4) mol/g, respectively. Investigation also indicates that adsorption is influenced by initial dye concentration, particle size, dye solution pH, and adsorption temperature. Adsorption on unburned carbon increases with the initial dye concentration, solution pH, and temperature, but reduces with the increasing particle size. Kinetic studies show that adsorption of methylene blue on fly ash, natural zeolite, and unburned carbon can be best described by the pseudo-second-order adsorption model and that adsorption is a two-step diffusion process. The apparent activation energies for methylene blue adsorption on unburned carbon in the first and second diffusion processes are 12.4 and 39.3 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Modeling the mechanism involved during the sorption of methylene blue onto fly ash

Batch sorption experiments were carried out to remove methylene blue from its aqueous solutions using fly ash as an adsorbent. Operating variables studied were initial dye concentration, fly ash mass, pH, and contact time. Maximum color removal was observed at a basic pH of 8. Equilibrium data were represented well by a Langmuir isotherm equation with a monolayer sorption capacity of 5.718 mg/g. Sorption data were fitted to both Lagergren first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the data were found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics. Rate constants at different initial concentrations were estimated. The process mechanism was found to be complex, consisting of both surface adsorption and pore diffusion. The effective diffusion parameter D(i) values were estimated at different initial concentrations and the average value was determined to be 2.063 x 10(-9)cm2/s. Analysis of sorption data using a Boyd plot confirms the particle diffusion as the rate-limiting step for the dye concentration ranges studied in the present investigation (20 to 60 mg/L).     

Investigation of the factors affecting organic cation adsorption on some silicate minerals

In this study, the effects of some factors on the adsorption of a basic dye (methylene blue) on bentonite and sepiolite samples were studied. These factors are cation (Na(+) and Ca(2+)) saturation of the samples and pH and ionic strength of the dye solution. The adsorption data were found to conform to the Langmuir equation within the concentration range studied and Langmuir constants were determined for each of the samples. The adsorption capacities of the samples were found to increase with cation saturation. Changes in the pH of the dye solution had no significant influence on the adsorption capacity and adsorption capacities were found to decrease with increasing ionic strength. The maximum sorption capacity of methylene blue exceeded the cation exchange capacity of bentonite and sepiolite.

The Use of High Surface Area Mesoporous-Activated Carbon from Longan Seed Biomass for Increasing Capacity and Kinetics of Methylene Blue Adsorption from Aqueous Solution

Microporous- and mesoporous-activated carbons were produced from longan seed biomass through physical activation with CO₂ under the same activation conditions of time and temperature. The specially prepared mesoporous carbon showed the maximum porous properties with the specific surface area of 1773 m²/g and mesopore volume of 0.474 cm³/g which accounts for 44.1% of the total pore volume. These activated carbons were utilized as porous adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution and their effectiveness was evaluated for both the adsorption kinetics and capacity. The adsorption kinetic data of MB were analyzed by the pseudo-first-order model, the pseudo-second-order model, and the pore-diffusion model equations. It was found that the adsorption kinetic behavior for all carbons tested was best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The effective pore diffusivity (D_e) derived from the pore-diffusion model had the values of 4.657 × 10⁻⁷–6.014 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s and 4.668 × 10⁻⁷–19.920 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s for the microporous- and mesoporous-activated carbons, respectively. Three well-known adsorption models, namely the Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson equations were tested with the experimental MB adsorption isotherms, and the results showed that the Redlich–Peterson model provided the overall best fitting of the isotherm data. In addition, the maximum capacity for MB adsorption of 1000 mg/g was achieved with the mesoporous carbon having the largest surface area and pore volume. The initial pH of MB solution had virtually no effect on the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of the methylene blue dye. Increasing temperature over the range from 35 to 55 °C increased the adsorption of methylene blue, presumably caused by the increase in the diffusion rate of methylene blue to the adsorption sites that could promote the interaction frequency between the adsorbent surface and the adsorbate molecules. Overall, the high surface area mesoporous carbon was superior to the microporous carbon in view of the adsorption kinetics and capacity, when both carbons were used for the removal of MB from an aqueous solution.
