Mechanisms and kinetics of trisodium 2-hydroxy-1,1'-azonaphthalene-3,4',6-trisulfonate adsorption onto chitosan

Chitosan, a naturally abundant biopolymer, has widely been studied for metal adsorption from various solutions, but the extension of chitosan as an adsorbent to remove organic substances from water and wastewater has seldom been explored. In this study, the adsorption of an azo dye, trisodium 2-hydroxy-1,1'-azonaphthalene-3,4',6-trisulfonate (1), from aqueous solution onto the various degrees of deacetylated chitosan has been investigated. Equilibrium studies have been carried out to determine the capacity of chitosan for dye. The experimental data were analyzed using two isotherm correlations, namely, Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The linear correlation coefficients were determined for each isotherm and the Langmuir provided the best fit. The experimental adsorption isotherms were perfectly reproduced in the simulated data obtained from numerical analysis on the basis of the Langmuir model and the isotherm constants. Adsorption of (1) onto the chitosan flakes was found to be strongly depending on degrees of deacetylation in chitosan and temperatures. Significant amounts of (1) were adsorbed by chitosan 8B (higher degree of deacetylated chitosan), but the adsorption capacity was reduced remarkably with increasing solution temperatures. Thermodynamic parameters such as change in free energy (DeltaG), enthalpy (DeltaH), and entropy (DeltaS) were also determined. In addition, kinetic study indicated that the adsorption process mechanisms were both transport- and attachment-limited.

The adsorption of Fe(Ⅲ)ions from aqueous solution by chitosan alpha-ketoglutaric acid(KCTS)and hydroxamated chitosan alpha-ketoglutaric acid(HKCTS)was studied in a batch adsorption system.Experiments were carried out as function of pH,temperature,agitation rate and concentration of Fe(Ⅲ)ions.The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and isotherm constants were determined.The Langmuir model agrees very well with experimental data.The pseudo-first-order and second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data and the rate constants were evaluated.The dynamical data fit well with the second-order kinetic model.The pseudo second-order kinetic model was indicated with the activation energy of 19.61 and 7.98 KJ/mol for KCTS and HKCTS,respectively.It is suggested that the overall rate of Fe(Ⅲ)adsorption is likely to be controlled by the chemical process.Results also showed that novel chitosan derivatives(KCTS and HKCTS)were favorable adsorbents.     

Husk of Agarwood Fruit-Based Hydrogel Beads for Adsorption of Cationic and Anionic Dyes in Aqueous Solutions

Hydrogel beads based on the husk of agarwood fruit (HAF)/sodium alginate (SA), and based on the HAF/chitosan (CS) were developed for the removal of the dyes, crystal violet (CV) and reactive blue 4 (RB4), in aqueous solutions, respectively. The effects of the initial pH (2–10) of the dye solution, the adsorbent dosage (0.5–3.5 g/L), and contact time (0–540 min) were investigated in a batch system. The dynamic adsorption behavior of CV and RB4 can be represented well by the pseudo-second-order model and pseudo-first-order model, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherm data can be explained by the Langmuir isotherm model. Both hydrogel beads have acceptable adsorption selectivity and reusability for the study of selective adsorption and regeneration. Based on the effectiveness, selectivity, and reusability of these hydrogel beads, they can be treated as potential adsorbents for the removal of dyes in aqueous solutions.

The experimental data obtained at different temperatures were analyzed using various isotherm models; the Koble–Corrigan isotherm model provided the best fits for the BY adsorption data at all temperatures.

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Adsorption of VB12 onto Mesoporous Carbon Coated with PMMA

Ordered mesoporous carbons CMK-3, CMK-1 coated with poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)(CMK-3- PMMA and CMK-1-PMMA) and pristine mesoporous carbons CMK-3, CMK-1 were employed to adsorb vitamin B12(VB12) from water solution. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of adsorption were investigated via batch experi- ments. It was found that the adsorption capacity of VB12 at 30, 40 and 50 °C can reach 688.2, 572.4 and 428.7 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model. The pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models were employed to fit the dynamic adsorption. It was found that the dynamic adsorption follows the pseudo second-order model. The thermodynamic equilibrium coefficients obtained at different temperatures were used to evaluate the thermodynamic constants ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0. The negative value of Gibbs free energy, ΔG0 indicates that the adsorption occurred via a spontaneous process. The increase in the value of –ΔG0 with increasing temperature indicates that higher temperatures were favourable to the sorption process. The enthalpy values of ΔH040 kJ/mol(66.36 kJ/mol and 56.43 kJ/mol) for CMK-3-PMMA and CMK-1-PMMA confirm that chemisorption were involved in the adsorption process. This is consistent with the IR spectra and is another evidence for the formation of hydrogen bond between PMMA in the pore of CMK-3 and VB12.     

Adsorption of chromium from aqueous solution using chitosan beads

A basic investigation on the removal of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution by chitosan beads was conducted in a batch adsorption system. The chitosan beads were prepared by casting an acidic chitosan solution into an alkaline solution.

The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants for the adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) onto chitosan beads. Results indicated that Cr(III) and Cr(VI) uptake could be described by the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions onto chitosan beads were 30.03 and 76.92 mg g⁻¹, respectively. Results showed that chitosan beads are favourable adsorbents. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions can be removed from the chitosan beads by treatment with an aqueous EDTA solution.

Cellulose sponge was proposed to an attractive bio-absorbent owing to its highly efficient, low-cost, biodegradable, and renewable sourcing. In this work, the wasted cotton linter as raw materials, the highly porous and lightweight cellulose sponges were synthesized via a facile chemical crosslinking and freeze-drying process. The resultant cellulose sponge (CA) exhibited an interconnected three-dimensional porous structure through crosslinked with N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA), which was beneficial to remove organic dyestuffs.

Herein, Langmuir isotherm models were selected to determine the adsorption capacity, and the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity for Methylene blue (MB) and Crystal violet (CV) was 123.46 and 76.63 mg/g, respectively. Particularly, the results of kinetic and thermodynamic tests showed that the adsorption performance was a spontaneous endothermic reaction and the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic. Furthermore, cellulose sponges could maintain maximum adsorption capacity even after twelve cycles. Therefore, the eco-friendly cellulose sponge would be a promising adsorbent for effective wastewater treatment.     

Adsorption Characteristics of Activated Carbon for the Reclamation of Eosin Y and Indigo Carmine Colored Effluents and New Isotherm Model

The adsorption response of eosin Y and indigo carmine acid dyes on activated carbon as a function of system temperature for a fixed concentration was investigated at various temperatures via adsorption isotherms and their thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy changes. The adsorption data were exploited to develop a new adsorption isotherm. The new isotherm was developed with the spirit of solid–liquid phase equilibrium and regular solution theory. The proposed model has four adjustable constants and correlates adsorption isotherm in terms of the system temperature and melting temperature of the dye. The effect of pH on the removal of acid dyes was reported. The pH variation was observed to affect the adsorption efficiency. The removal of eosin Y and indigo carmine decreased from 99.4% to 82.6% and 92.38% to 79.48%, respectively, when the pH of the solution varied from 2 to 12. The thermodynamic analysis of the process reveals that the process of the removal of acid dyes is exothermic and spontaneous. Moreover, the kinetics parameters of the batch process are reported.     

Physico-chemical applications of liquid chromatography I. Investigation of the adsorption of cardiac glycosides from water-ethanol solutions on silanized silica

Summary Using the cardiac glycoside cymarin as the example the application of liquid chromatography for the study of adsorption from solutions and the determination of the corresponding thermodynamic characteristics was investigated. The adsorption isotherm of cymarin at small concentrations from a water-ethanol solvent on silica gel modified by dimethyldichlorosilane was measured under static conditions using analytical LC to determine the concentrations of solutions after adsorption. The values of the Henry constants were obtained by extrapolating the slope of the adsorption isotherm down to zero concentration. The specific retention volumes for different but small sample sizes of cymarin in the chromatographic column were measured, the adsorbent and the water-ethanol eluent being the same as in the static conditions. The specific retention volume for a small (zero) sample size determined by liquid chromatography experiment coincides with the Henry constant of cymarin adsorption determined in static conditions. In favourable cases liquid chromatography can be used to determine the equilibrium constants for adsorption from solution. The dependence of the Henry constants on temperature was investigated for several cardiac glycosides. The influence of the modification of the adsorbent surface on the separation of the cardiac glycosides was also studied.     

Adsorption of Basic Yellow 28 from aqueous solutions with clinoptilolite and amberlite

The objective of this study was to investigate the adsorption of Basic Yellow 28 that is a cationic dye on clinoptilolite and amberlite XAD-4. Both equilibrium and batch rate adsorption in aqueous solutions of the dyestuff were investigated. Adsorption rate data were analysed using the pseudo-first order kinetic model of Lagergren and the pseudo-second order model to determine adsorption rate constants at 20, 30 and 40 degrees C. The adsorption equilibrium data were analysed using various adsorption isotherm models and the results have shown that adsorption behaviour of Basic Yellow 28 by clinoptilolite and amberlite could be described by either Langmuir or Freundlich models. Langmuir adsorption isotherm constants corresponding to adsorption capacity, Q(0), were found to be 59.6, 52.9 and 56.7 mg/g for clinoptilolite at 20, 30 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Lower adsorption capacities for Basic Yellow 28 on amberlite were obtained. The increase of adsorption rate constants with an increase in temperature for BY 28 adsorption on amberlite indicated chemisorption with dissociation and increased availability of sites due to higher penetration of adsorbing molecules into the pores.     

Competitive Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Rhodamine B on Natural Zeolite: Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies

A batch system was applied to study the adsorption behavior of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB) in single and binary component systems on natural zeolite. In the single component systems, the zeolite presents higher adsorption capacity for MB than RB with the maximal adsorption capacity of 7.95×10^?5 and 1.26×10^?5 mol/g at 55°C for MB and RB, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption followed pseudo‐second‐ order kinetics and could be described by a two‐step diffusion process. For the single component systems, the adsorption isotherm could be fitted by the Langmuir model. In the binary component system, MB and RB exhibit competitive adsorption on the zeolite. The adsorption is approximately reduced to 50% and 60% of single component adsorption systems of MB and RB, respectively at an initial concentration of 6×10^?6 mol·L^?1 at 25°C. In the binary component system, kinetic and adsorption isotherm studies demonstrate that the experimental data are following pseudo‐second‐order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm and kinetic data are fairly described by a two‐step diffusion model. Effect of solution pH on adsorption of MB and RB in both single and binary component systems was studied and the results were described by electrostatic interactions.     

Adsorptive removal of malachite green and Rhodamine B dyes on Fe3O4/activated carbon composite

This study demonstrates the adsorption experiments of toxic dyes malachite green (MG) and Rhodamine B (RB) on Fe₃O₄-loaded activated carbon (AC). AC, which is known to be a high-capacity adsorbent, was aimed to be easily separated from aqueous media by loading it with Fe₃O₄. Fe₃O₄-loaded AC was prepared by the coprecipitation method and named magnetic activated carbon (M-AC), and the produced M-AC was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and pH_pzc analyses. MG and RB adsorption by the M-AC was performed separately by batch technique and the effects of adsorbent amount, solution pH, and initial dye concentration on the adsorption were explored. Maximum removal efficiencies were found to be 96.11% for MG and 98.54% for RB, and the Langmuir isotherm model was the most fitted isotherm model for the adsorption. The kinetic and thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption proceeded via the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and endothermic in-nature for both dyes.
