Adsorption kinetics of an organic dye by wet hybrid gel monoliths

Wet hybrid gel monoliths are prepared with bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)amine (TSPA) or the mixture of TSPA with n-propyltriethoxysilane (PTES) or bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane (TSH) or tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as precursors. The adsorption kinetics of an organic dye (erioglaucine disodium salt, EDS) by the gel monoliths in aqueous solutions is studied comprehensively. The effects of temperature, pH, and ionic strength on the adsorption kinetics are investigated. Kinetic studies show that in general the kinetic data are well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. Initial adsorption rate increases with the increase in temperature, but decreases with the increase in solution pH and ionic strength. The adsorption activation energy is found to be 17–51 kJ mol⁻¹ under our experimental conditions. The internal diffusion of the dye into the hybrid gels appears to be the rate-limiting step of the overall adsorption process. The adsorption is promoted by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic attractions in acidic or neutral solutions, suppressed by the electrostatic repulsion in basic solutions and by the ionic exchange competition of Cl⁻ with the dye anions in solutions with a high NaCl concentration. After adsorption for 165 h, all the gel monoliths present a linear shrinkage less than 10%.     

Adsorption isotherm models for basic dye adsorption by peat in single and binary component systems

Colored effluents from textile industries are a problem in many rivers and waterways. Prediction of dye adsorption capacities is important in design considerations. The sorption of three basic dyes, namely Basic blue 3, Basic yellow 21, and Basic red 22, onto peat is reported. Equilibrium sorption isotherms have been measured for the three single-component systems. Equilibrium was achieved after 21 days. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, Tempkin, and Toth isotherm equations. A detailed error analysis has been undertaken to investigate the effect of using different error criteria for the determination of the single-component isotherm parameters and hence obtain the best isotherm and isotherm parameters which describe the adsorption process. The linear transform model provided the highest R(2) regression coefficient with the Redlich-Peterson model. The Redlich-Peterson model also yielded the best fit to experimental data for all three dyes using the nonlinear error functions. An extended Langmuir model has been used to predict the isotherm data for the binary systems using the single component data. The correlation between theoretical and experimental data had only limited success due to competitive and interactive effects between the dyes and the dye-surface interactions.     

Adsorption of tartrazine from an aqueous solution by octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide-modified bentonite: Kinetics and isotherm modeling

A modified bentonite was prepared at different surfactant (ODTMA) loadings through ion exchange. The obtained organobentonite adsorbent materials were then used for the removal of an anionic dye, tartrazine, from an aqueous solution. The bentonite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The modification of organophilic bentonite by ODTMA increases the basal spacing d₀₀₁ from 24.1 to 39.1 Å when the cation exchange capacity increases from 1 to 4. The increase in the spacing, due to the basic organic modifications, was confirmed by the results of thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and BET. The effects of contact time, initial concentration, and solution pH onto an adsorbed amount of tartrazine were investigated. To predict adsorption isotherm, the experimental data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. It was determined that the isotherm data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption process was also found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.     

Adsorption of a new amphoteric cellulosic copolymer onto bentonite

The adsorption of a new amphoteric cellulosic copolymer onto bentonite from aqueous solutions was studied at different salt concentrations and temperatures. The adsorption kinetics included a fast step and a slow step. The rate of initial rapid adsorption was reduced by the addition of NaCl. An increase in the concentration of added NaCl or increasing temperature decreased the amounts adsorbed. The influence of sodium dodecylsulfate and hexadecyl trimethylammonium chloride was also studied. Received: 14 December 1998 Accepted in revised form: 3 February 1999     

Removal of Reactive Yellow 84 from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto hydroxyapatite

The adsorption of a reactive dye, Reactive Yellow 84, from aqueous solution onto synthesized hydroxyapatite was investigated. The experiments were carried out to investigate the factors that influence the dye uptake by the adsorbent, such as the contact time under agitation, absorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, temperature and pH of dye solution. The experimental results show that the amount of dye adsorbed increases with an increase in the amount of hydroxyapatite. The maximum adsorption occurred at the pH value of 5. The equilibrium uptake was increased with an increase in the initial dye concentration in solution. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir isotherm equation. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 50.25 mg/g. The adsorption has a low temperature dependency and was endothermic in nature with an enthalpy of adsorption of 2.17 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Adsorption study for removal of Congo red anionic dye using organo-attapulgite

The organo-attapulgite was prepared using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTMAB) with equation equivalent ratio of HTMAB to CEC of attapulgite added and then used as adsorbent for the removal of Congo red (CR) anionic dye from aqueous solution. Adsorbent characterizations were investigated using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The effects of contact time, temperature, pH and initial dye concentration on organo-attapulgite adsorption for CR were investigated. The results show that the amount adsorbed of CR on the organo-attapulgite increase with increasing dye concentration, temperature, and by decreasing pH. The adsorption kinetics was studied with the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models, and the rate constants were evaluated. It was found that the adsorption mechanisms in the dye/organo-attapulgite system follow pseudo-second-order kinetics with a significant contribution of film diffusion. Equilibrium data fitted perfectly with Langmuir isotherm model compared to Freundlich isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 189.39 mg g⁻¹ for the adsorbent. Kinetic and desorption studies both suggest that chemisorption should be the major mode of CR removal by the organo-attapulgite. The results indicate that HTMAB-modified attapulgite could be employed as low-cost material for the removal of Congo red anionic dye from wastewater.     

两性纤维素接枝共聚物在膨润土上的吸附

The adsorption property of a new amphoteric graft copolymer of carboxymethyl cellulose with acrylamide and dimethylamminoethyl methacrylate(CGAD) on bentonite particles was studied by the method of CdI2-starch coloring. The amount of adsorption increased with the increase of time or CGAD concentration, but decreased with the increasing concentration of added NaCl or added hexadecyltrimethylammonium choride (HDTMAC). The amount of adsorption was also found to be dependent on temperature. i.e. decreasing with the increasing temperature. The adsorption heat H was calculated by the relationship of temperature with the amount of adsorption. The X-ray diffraction showed that interlayer adsorption occurred in the bentonite.     

Effect of Sorbents Added on Adsorption Capability of Soil for Nano-TiO2

The adsorption capability of loam soil for nano-TiO2 affected by the amount and intensity of leached water has been investigated by simulating the natural rainfall process under the leaching condition.The results show that the amount and the intensity of leached water are two important factors affecting the adsorption capability of loam soil for nano-TiO2.The results indicate that the depth of the loam soil containing a maximal amount of nano-TiO2 is proportional to the amount of leached water,while it is i...     

Treatment of anionic dye aqueous solution using Ti,HDTMA and Al/Fe pillared bentonite. Essay to regenerate the adsorbent

In this study, the adsorption removal of an anionic dye (Congo red) by a local bentonite before and after modification was studied. The modification of the bentonite was made by organophilisation using surfactant (HDTMA) and by pillaring process to obtain a bentonite with Ti pillars and with mixed pillars of Fe/Al. The various synthesized materials are characterized by different techniques such as DRX, MET, N₂ adsorption-desorption, Zeta potential measurement. Results show the development of the texture and the structure of the bentonite after modification. The various adsorbents synthesized show an increase in the adsorption capacity of Congo Red compared to the initial bentonite. Adsorption isotherms are described by the Langmuir model in all cases except that for Ti pillared bentonite, the Freundlich model is more suitable. Pseudo-second order is better for describing the adsorption process. Also, regeneration of the adsorbent is approached in this study by photochemical way and the results show a total regeneration of the adsorbent.

Adsorption of organic substances on broken clay surfaces: a quantum chemical study

Hydrogen-bonded interactions between local defect structures on broken clay surfaces modeled as molecular clusters and the organic molecules acetic acid, acetate, and N-methylacetamide (NMA) have been investigated. Density functional theory and polarized basis sets have been used for the computation of optimized interaction complexes and formation energies. The activity of the defect structures has been characterized as physical or chemical in terms of the strength of the hydrogen bonds formed. Chemical defects lead to significantly enhanced interactions with stronger hydrogen bonds and larger elongation of OH bonds in comparison to the physical defects. The type of interaction with the defect structure significantly influences the planarity of the model peptide bond in NMA. Both cases, enhancement of the planarity by increase of the CN double bond character and strong deviations from planarity, are observed.     

Adsorption of detergent-solubilized and phospholipase C-solubilized alkaline phosphatase at air/liquid interfaces

To investigate the influence of a hydrophobic anchor on protein adsorption, equilibrium and dynamic aspects of the adsorption of two different solubilized forms of rat osseous plate alkaline phosphatase on Langmuir monolayers of dimyristoylphosphatidic acid (DMPA) were studied. Surface pressure and surface potential measurements at air/liquid interfaces were carried out using the detergent-solubilized form (DSAP) of alkaline phosphatase, which holds a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) hydrophobic anchor, and the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-solubilized form (PLSAP), lacking the GPI anchor. Similar surface transitions observed for both DMPA and DMPA/PLSAP mixed monolayers indicate that the presence of PLSAP does not promote significant changes in surface packing of the DMPA monolayer. However, PLSAP interacts with the polar portion of the phospholipid even at high lateral compression. The presence of the GPI anchor increases the adsorption of DSAP at a plain air/liquid interface and also enables the penetration of the protein into the DMPA monolayers. The penetration is dependent on both time and surface pressure. Up to 20 mN/m, the surface pressure increases smoothly indicating a diffusion followed by an adsorption process. Above 20 mN/m, after a fast increase, the surface pressure slowly decays to equilibrium values quite close to the initial surface pressures. The results indicate that the molecular packing of the lipid layer drives the enzyme adsorption to the interface either through the GPI anchor or by the polypeptide moiety.     

pH shifting effect on anionic dye removal by surfactant-modified sugar beet pulp: Modeling of column studies

pH shifting effect on the adsorption of anionic RBB dye was tested by using untreated and CTAB-treated SBP as adsorbent in both batch and continuous systems. Characterization of the sorbents revealed the effects of surface modification. Enhanced binding sites and more porous surface structure resulted in improved adsorption capability. Flow rate and initial RBB concentration effects were tested in packed bed column. Optimum pH value of the adsorption, which was determined as 2.0 in the batch studies with untreated SBP, shifted to 8.0 with 20 g/L CTAB treated SBP. Experimental data in column studies showed the decreasing capacity with increasing flow rate and enhanced performance with increasing inlet RBB concentration for both sorbents. Maximum capacities of the columns were found as 36.9 and 2.6 mg/g with dried SBP at pH 2.0 and 8.0, respectively, at a maximum inlet RBB concentration of 500 mg/L and a minimum flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The highest capacity value at pH 8.0 was found as 140.0 mg/g under the same operating conditions, which reveals positive effect of the treatment on adsorptive performance. Langmuir isotherm was found to be most convenient model for the all equilibrium cases in the column. Moreover, Thomas model accurately predicted the breakthrough curves of each system. This is the first study reporting the modeling data of an anionic dye adsorption in a packed bed column by using modified SBP.     

Mechanistic Insight into Nanoparticle Surface Adsorption by Solution NMR Spectroscopy in an Aqueous Gel

Engineering nanoparticle (NP) functions at the molecular level requires a detailed understanding of the dynamic processes occurring at the NP surface. Herein we show that a combination of dark‐state exchange saturation transfer (DEST) and relaxation dispersion (RD) NMR experiments on gel‐stabilized NP samples enables the accurate determination of the kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption. We used the former approach to describe the interaction of cholic acid (CA) and phenol (PhOH) with ceria NPs with a diameter of approximately 200 nm. Whereas CA formed weak interactions with the NPs, PhOH was tightly bound to the NP surface. Interestingly, we found that the adsorption of PhOH proceeds via an intermediate, weakly bound state in which the small molecule has residual degrees of rotational diffusion. We believe the use of aqueous gels for stabilizing NP samples will increase the applicability of solution NMR methods to the characterization of nanomaterials.     

Adsorption of volatile organic compounds in porous metal–organic frameworks functionalized by polyoxometalates

The functionalization of porous metal–organic frameworks (Cu₃(BTC)₂) was achieved by incorporating Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs), and further optimized via alkali metal ion-exchange. In addition to thermal gravimetric analysis, IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder X-ray diffraction, the adsorption properties were characterized by N₂ and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption measurements, including short-chain alcohols (C<4), cyclohexane, benzene, and toluene. The adsorption enthalpies estimated by the modified Clausius–Clapeyron equation provided insight into the impact of POMs and alkali metal cations on the adsorption of VOCs. The introduction of POMs not only improved the stability, but also brought the increase of adsorption capacity by strengthening the interaction with gas molecules. Furthermore, the exchanged alkali metal cations acted as active sites to interact with adsorbates and enhanced the adsorption of VOCs.     

Adsorption behavior of organic halides on zeolites

The adsorption behavior and the differential heat of adsorption of chloroform were measured on various types of zeolite (faujasite, ZSM-5 and mordenite) with different Si/Al ratios. The results reveal that saturated adsorption is almost proportional to the micropore volume and is independent of the micropore structure or the Si/Al ratio. However, initial heat of adsorption was the highest (90 kJ mol⁻¹) on the mordenite with low Si/Al ratio, while low on the faujasite with high Si/Al ratio or ZSM-5 (50 kJ mol⁻¹). Change in initial heat of adsorption with Si/Al ratio is small for faujasite or mordenite and large for ZSM-5. For the comparison, trichloroethylene adsorption behavior of zeolite was also investigated. Saturated adsorption of trichloroethylene was almost constant for all types of zeolite, while the faujasite with high Si/Al ratio exhibited an adsorption isotherm of type V in BDDT (Brunauer, Deming, Deming and Teller) classification. The tendencies of heat of immersion are similar to the results of the initial heat of adsorption.     

Adsorption of Pseudomonas putida on clay minerals and iron oxide

Adsorption of Pseudomonas putida on minerals including montmorillonite, kaolinite and goethite was studied. The adsorption isotherms of P. putida on the examined minerals conformed to the Langmuir equation. The amount of P. putida adsorbed followed the order: goethite > kaolinite > montmorillonite. A greater extent of P. putida adsorption on minerals was observed in the range of temperature from 15 to 35 °C. The adsorption of P. putida on minerals decreased with the increase of pH from 3.0 to 10.0. Magnesium ion was more efficient than sodium ion in promoting P. putida adsorption on minerals. The results suggest that electrostatic interactions play a vital role in P. putida adsorption by soil colloidal factions. The information obtained in this study is of fundamental significance for the understanding of the survival and transport of bacteria in soil systems.     

Adsorption of acid yellow dye on flakes of chitosan prepared from fishery wastes

Chitosan flakes, extracted from prawns and labeo rohita scales, with high adsorption capacity were prepared after chemical treatment and were used to remove acid yellow dye from water. The results showed that adsorption capacity is dependent on pH, initial concentration of dye, BET, Langmuir surface area and pore volume of the adsorbent. In acidic conditions, the polymer amino groups were protonated (positively charged polymer chain), which showed attraction with negative ions of anionic dye. Chitosan from prawns scales showed higher dye adsorption under the same experimental conditions. Adsorption isotherms were developed and equilibrium data fitted well to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.     

Adsorption of reactive dye on chitosan in air-lift reactor

This study was undertaken to identify factors exerting the strongest influence on the adsorption of dye. The maximum adsorption capacity (at the adopted operating conditions) was the main parameter used to evaluate the process. In addition, the feasible adsorption capacity of chitosan was evaluated. Breakthrough experiments were carried out in a circulating air-lift reactor at a constant concentration of reactive dye Black 8 (100 mg/dm³). The tests studied different chitosan concentrations in the reactor and a range of flow intensities. The results of the breakthrough tests were compared by means of apparent mass transfer coefficients, determined by slopes at C/C ₀=1/2. The adsorption capacity of chitosan was affected to the greatest extent by the flow rate of the medium to the reactor. In turn, the utilization of the maximum adsorption capacity of chitosan, at the assumed efficiency of dye removal, was determined by chitosan concentration in the reactor.
