Abstract: | An adsorbent material made with a silica lamellar mesoporous material treated with chitosan has been proved to be useful to
adsorb both anionic and cationic dyes used in the textile industry. The two tested dyes Tectilon Blue (anionic) and Rhodamine
B (cationic) have different adsorption kinetics reflecting a complex mechanism of the phenomenon. Furthermore, the adsorption
capacity and interaction strength of Tectilon Blue is higher than those of Rhodamine B. Tectilon Blue molecules are situated
with the molecular plane perpendicular to the adsorbent surface, whilst that of the Rhodamine B molecule is flat and parallel
to the surface. The differences may be attributed to the different regions of the adsorbent surface on which the dyes are
adsorbed because of their different electric charge. |
