The tea wastages could remove methylene blue(MB) as a cationic dye from waste water corresponding to second-order kinetic model.Thermodynamic studies showed that adsorption equilibrium constant(KL) and maximum adsorption capacities(Qmax) were increased with increasing temperature.The removal efficiency of MB for Co 0.01 mmol/L at optimum conditions was about 85%. The maximum uptake capacity(Qmax) of methylene blue in a batch reactor was 0.328,0.542 and 0.659 mmol/g at 15,25 and 40℃, respectively.The enthalpy change(ΔH) and entropy change(ΔS) were 11.356 kJ/mol and 20.563 J/(mol K),respectively. 相似文献
Adsorbents that exhibit a high adsorption capacity and facile recyclability are considered promising materials for dye wastewater remediation. In this work, a novel sulfonate-decorated cotton fiber was fabricated as a recyclable adsorbent for the highly efficient removal of cationic dyes. Herein, poly(sodium p-styrene sulfonate-co–N-methylol acrylamide) (P(SSNa-co-NMAM)) with SSNa units as adsorption sites and NMAM units as thermal-crosslinking points was synthesized for the modification of cotton fibers. As expected, the as-obtained P(SSNa-co-NMAM)-coated cotton fibers (PCFs) presented outstanding adsorption capacities toward cationic dyes, even in the simulated effluents. The processes of cationic dye absorbing onto the PCFs were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption reaction of the cationic dyes onto PCF was spontaneous, and the efficiency of adsorption was more desirable at higher temperatures. The maximum adsorption capacities of PCF toward methylene blue (MEB), rhodamine B (RhB), and malachite green (MG) were 3976.10, 2879.80, and 3071.55 mg/g, respectively. The dye removal mechanism was ascribed predominantly to electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the PCFs toward cationic dyes was slightly influenced by the pH of the solutions because of the sulfonate moieties, which exhibit stability under acidic and alkaline conditions. Furthermore, the recyclability and reusability of the as-prepared PCFs were satisfactory and good mechanical properties and thermal stability were observed compared to those of pristine cotton fibers. Given the aforementioned results, the as-obtained PCFs are highly promising as ideal adsorbents for the remediation of dye-contaminated wastewater.
In this study, surfactant-modified pillared montmorillonites (MMT) were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by the intercalation method and used as adsorbent to remove bentazon from aqueous solutions. The main compositions of MMT and CTAB/MMT were characterized by Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrography (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The removal efficiency of bentazon was studied as a function of adsorbent dosage, pH, initial bentazon concentration and ionic strength (sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride). The removal efficiency of bentazon by CTAB/MMT was more than that of MMT in similar conditions. By increasing adsorbent dosage and initial bentazon concentration, the removal efficiency was increased and declined, respectively. The results showed that the maximum adsorption of organo-modified montmorillonite was obtained at pH 3. The maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to be 500 mg/g at pH 3 and room temperature. The study of the adsorption kinetic model revealed that the pseudo-second order model was the best applicable one to describe the adsorption of bentazon onto CTAB/MMT. Adsorption data were analyzed by both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms and the results showed that it was better described by the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacities of the samples were found to increase with Na2CO3 anion saturation, while they decreased in the presence of NaHCO3, Na2SO4 and NaCl. 相似文献
