Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic aspects of Promethazine hydrochloride sorption by iron rich smectite

Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic aspects of sorption of Promethazine hydrochloride (PHCl) onto iron rich smectite (IRS) from aqueous solution were investigated. The effect of pH on sorption of PHCl onto IRS was also found out. Experimental data were evaluated by using Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Raduschkevich (DR) isotherm equations. Freundlich and DR equations provided better compatibility than Langmuir equation. Besides, it was determined that the maximum sorption of PHCl takes place at about pH 5. From kinetic studies, it was obtained that sorption kinetics follow pseudo-second-order kinetic model for PHCl sorption onto IRS. When thermodynamic studies are concerned, the values of activation energy (E_a), ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were obtained. ΔG° values are in the range of −8.84 and −9.45 kJ mol⁻¹ indicating spontaneous nature of physisorption. The negative value of the ΔH° (−3.20 kJ mol⁻¹) indicates exothermic nature of adsorption. FTIR analysis and SEM observations of IRS and PHCl adsorbed IRS were also carried out. Sorption experiments indicate that IRS may be used effectively for the adsorption of PHCl.     

Equilibrium and kinetics for the sorption of promethazine hydrochloride onto K10 montmorillonite

This study presents the adsorption of cationic drug, promethazine hydrochloride from aqueous solution onto K10 montmorillonite. The effects of pH and temperature on adsorption process were investigated. Maximum adsorption pH was obtained to be about 7.5. Thermodynamic parameters found in this study depict the exothermic nature of adsorption. The process was favorable and spontaneous. From kinetic studies, it was found that adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were determined. The fit of the Langmuir and DR models appeared to be good. Physisorption mainly controls the whole adsorption process but chemisorption also shows a particular contribution.     

Adsorption of acid dyes from aqueous solutions onto acid-activated bentonite

The adsorption of two dyes, namely, Acid Red 57 (AR57) and Acid Blue 294 (AB294), onto acid-activated bentonite in aqueous solution was studied in a batch system with respect to contact time, pH, and temperature. Acidic pH was favorable for the adsorption of these dyes. The surface characterization of acid-activated bentonite was performed using the FTIR technique. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the intraparticle diffusion model were used to describe the kinetic data and the rate constants were evaluated. The dynamic data fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model well and also followed the intraparticle diffusion model up to 90 min, but diffusion is not the only rate controlling step. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were determined. The Freundlich model agrees very well with experimental data. The activation energies of adsorption were also evaluated for the adsorption of AR57 and AB294 onto activated bentonite.     

Adsorption of ethyl violet dye in aqueous solution by regenerated spent bleaching earth

The adsorption of basic dye (i.e., ethyl violet or basic violet 4) from aqueous solution onto the regenerated spent bleaching earth (RSBE) was carried out by varying the process parameters such as initial concentration, pH, and temperature. As analytical comparisons, activated bleaching earth (ABE) was also used as adsorbent for the adsorption of the basic dye at various initial concentrations. The experimental results showed that the adsorption process can be well described with the pseudo-second-order reaction model and less fitted by the intra-particle diffusion model. The kinetic parameters of both models obtained in the present work are in line with pore properties of the two adsorbents. According to the equilibrium adsorption capacity from the fitting of pseudo-second-order reaction model, it was further found that the both models of Langmuir and Freundlich appeared to fit well the isotherm data. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters were evaluated based on the pseudo-second-order rate constants, showing that the adsorption of ethyl violet onto the RSBE is endothermic in nature.

Adsorption of direct dyes from aqueous solutions by carbon nanotubes: determination of equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics parameters

This study examined the feasibility of removing direct dyes C.I. Direct Yellow 86 (DY86) and C.I. Direct Red 224 (DR224) from aqueous solutions using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The effects of dye concentration, CNT dosage, ionic strength and temperature on adsorption of direct dyes by CNTs were also evaluated. Pseudo second-order, intraparticle diffusion and Bangham models were adopted to evaluate experimental data and thereby elucidate the kinetic adsorption process. Additionally, this study used the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin and Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin isotherms to describe equilibrium adsorption. The adsorption percentage of direct dyes increased as CNTs dosage, NaCl addition and temperature increased. Conversely, the adsorption percentage of direct dyes decreased as dye concentration increased. The pseudo second-order model best represented adsorption kinetics. Based on the regressions of intraparticle diffusion and Bangham models, experimental data suggest that the adsorption of direct dyes onto CNTs involved intraparticle diffusion, but that was not the only rate-controlling step. The equilibrium adsorption of DR86 is best fitted in the Freundlich isotherm and that of DR224 was best fitted in the D-R isotherm. The capacity of CNTs to adsorb DY86 and DR224 was 56.2 and 61.3 mg/g, respectively. For DY86, enthalpy (DeltaH(0)) and entropy (DeltaS(0)) were 13.69 kJ/mol and 139.51 J/mol K, respectively, and those for DR224 were 24.29 kJ/mol and 172.06 J/mol K, respectively. The values of DeltaH(0), DeltaG(0) and E all indicate that the adsorption of direct dyes onto CNTs was a physisorption process.

Kinetic and isotherm studies of Cu(II) adsorption onto H3PO4-activated rubber wood sawdust

Adsorption of Cu(II) from aqueous solution onto H(3)PO(4)-activated carbon using rubber wood sawdust (RSAC) was investigated in a batch system. Kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out by considering the effects of various parameters, such as initial concentration, contact time, pH, and temperature. The optimal pH value for Cu(II) adsorption onto RSAC was found to be 6.0. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibbs free energy (DeltaG(0)), standard enthalpy (DeltaH(0)), and standard entropy (DeltaS(0)) were evaluated by applying the Van't Hoff equation. The thermodynamics of Cu(II) adsorption onto RSAC indicates its spontaneous and exothermic nature. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data at different temperatures. The Langmuir isotherm fits the experimental data significantly better than the other isotherms. Adsorption kinetics data were tested using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order reaction. The initial sorption rate, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion rate constants for different initial concentrations were evaluated and discussed. Adsorption mechanism studies revealed that the process was complex and followed both surface adsorption and particle diffusion. The rate-controlling parameter and effective diffusion coefficient were determined using the Reichenberg plot. It was found that the adsorption occurs through film diffusion at low concentrations and at higher concentration the particle diffusion becomes the rate-determining step.

The adsorption of isomaltotriose from aqueous solution on Ca2+ resin was investigated.The adsorption isotherm and the rate curve were determined. The pseudo-first-order model,pseudo-second-order model and the intraparticle diffusion model were used to predict the rate constants of adsorption.

The pseudo-second-order model can fit well to the adsorption rate curve of isomaltotriose onto Ca2+ resin. It suggests that the adsorption of isomoltotriose onto Ca2+ resin involve chemical adsorption.     

Preparation and Kinetic Modeling of Cross-Linked Chitosan Microspheres Immobilized Zn(II) for Urea Adsorption

The preparation of Zn(II)-immobilized glutaraldehyde-crosslinked chitosan microspheres which was modified with epichlorohydrin, tetraethylenepentamine, and bromoacetic acid was presented in this work. The Zn(II)-immobilized value of the microspheres (Ac-TEPA-CS) is 43.6 mg g^?1, which is higher than the blank microspheres. The adsorption of urea onto Zn-Ac-TEPA-CS was studied in a batch system. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the experimental isotherm and isotherm constant, and the kinetic of adsorption process were estimated. These data fits well with Langmuir isotherm and also indicated that the adsorption process is exothermic and follow the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption capacity depends upon the pH, the temperature and the initial concentration of urea. It observed that Zn-Ac-TEPA-CS could be repeatedly used by elution and regeneration without significant loss of adsorption capacity.     

Adsorption of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution by agricultural waste: Equilibrium,thermodynamics, kinetics,mechanism and process design

The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution onto a cashew nut shell (CNS) was investigated as a function of parameters such as solution pH, CNS dose, contact time, initial MB dye concentration and temperature. The CNS was shown to be effective for the quantitative removal of MB dye, and the equilibrium was reached in 60 min. The experimental data were analysed by two-parameter isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models) using nonlinear regression analysis. The characteristic parameters for each isotherm and the related correlation coefficients were determined. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were also evaluated, the sorption process was found to be spontaneous and exothermic. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models were used to analyze the adsorption process. The results of the kinetic study suggest that the adsorption of MB dye matches the pseudo-second-order equation, suggesting that the adsorption process is presumably chemisorption. The adsorption process was found to be controlled by both surface and pore diffusion. Analysis of adsorption data using a Boyd kinetic plot confirmed that the external mass transfer is a rate determining step in the sorption process. A single-stage batch adsorber was designed for different CNS doses to effluent volume ratios using the Freundlich equation. The results indicated that the CNS could be used effectively to adsorb MB dye from aqueous solutions.

Theoretical,Equilibrium, Kinetics and Thermodynamic Investigations of Methylene Blue Adsorption onto Lignite Coal

The interaction of methylene blue (MB) dye with natural coal (collected from coal landfills of the Kosovo Energy Corporation) in aqueous solutions was studied using adsorption, kinetics, and thermodynamic data, and Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. In a batch procedure, the effects of contact duration, initial MB concentration, pH, and solution temperature on the adsorption process were examined. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms were used to examine the equilibrium adsorption data. The equilibrium data fit well to the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models; however, the Freundlich model suited the adsorption data to a slightly better extent than the Langmuir model. The kinetics experimental data was fitted using pseudo-first-order, first-order, pseudo-second-order, second-order, Elvoich equation, and diffusion models. The pseudo-second-order rate model manifested a superlative fit to the experimental data, while the adsorption of MB onto coal is regulated by both liquid film and intraparticle diffusions at the same time. Thermodynamic parameters, such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG⁰), enthalpy (ΔH⁰), and entropy (ΔS⁰) were calculated. The adsorption of MB was confirmed to be spontaneous and endothermic. The theoretical results were in agreement with the experimental ones.

The equilibrium adsorption data was fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models to evaluate the model parameters. Both models represented the experimental data satisfactorily. The monolayer adsorption capacities of SPSP as obtained from Langmuir isotherm was found to be 16.420 mg/g. The FTIR study revealed the presence of various functional groups which are responsible for the adsorption process.     

The removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon: kinetic and thermodynamic investigations

The adsorption of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon has been studied using a batch adsorber. The parameters that affect the uranium(VI) adsorption, such as contact time, solution pH, initial uranium(VI) concentration, and temperature, have been investigated and optimized conditions determined (contact time 240 min; pH 3.0+/-0.1; initial uranium concentration 100 mg/L; temperature 293.15 K). The experimental data were analyzed using sorption kinetic models (pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order equations) to determine the equation that fits best our experimental results. Equilibrium isotherm studies were used to evaluate the maximum sorption capacity of activated carbon and experimental results showed this to be 28.30 mg/g. The Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models have been applied and the data correlate well with Freundlich model and that the sorption is physical in nature (the activation energy Ea=7.91 kJ/mol). Thermodynamic parameters (DeltaHads0=-50.53 kJ/mol, DeltaSads0=-98.76 J/mol K, DeltaGads(293.15 K)0=-21.61 kJ/mol) showed the exothermic heat of adsorption and the feasibility of the process.     

Selective and effective adsorption of methyl blue by barium phosphate nano-flake

We report the synthesis of barium phosphate (BP) nano-flake and its adsorption behavior to methyl blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The as-obtained BP nano-flake revealed pure rhombohedral crystal structure. The adsorption capacity of MB onto BP reached 1500mgg(-1). The adsorption equilibrium results fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption process took less than 30min to reach equilibrium. The adsorption kinetics was elucidated by the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. It followed 2-stage and 3-stage intra-particle diffusion models for the low and high concentration of dye solutions, respectively. The adsorption of MB using the BP nano-flake was highly selective, compared with the adsorption of other dyes. The interactions between MB and BP were mainly the ionic interaction and hydrogen bonds, which were confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic results and the density functional theory calculations. The BP nano-flake revealed less than 5% decrease in adsorption amount when it was recycled and reused five times. The present work shows that the BP nano-flake is promising for practical applications in MB removal from aqueous solutions.
