Synthetic dye wastewater from textile industries is characterized by strong color, high temperature, variable pH and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). The strong color of wastewater affects aesthetic and water transparency of water bodies. The metabolites could be toxic to aquatic biota and posing a potential hazard to human health. Eventually, it will cause severe environmental problems. One of method that has advantages in term of simplicity to remove synthetic dyes is adsorption. Environmentally benign and low-cost materials to make adsorbent are biomass-based materials. Two different biomaterial wastes of rice straw and oil palm midrib were used in this study to develop activated carbon adsorbents. These adsorbents were applied for the removal of Naphtol AS-G dye in aqueous solution. The effects of solution pH, adsorbents masses and contact time on dye adsorption were evaluated based on batch experiments. Removal of dye can be achieved within 60 minutes at a wide pH range starting from 4 to 8. At lower pH, synthetic dye removal was decreasing probably due to protonation of adsorbent’s active sites. The adsorption isotherms based on Langmuir and Freundlich models were analyzed. The isotherms analysis indicated that the adsorption by rice straw and oil palm can be represented by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. Adsorption isotherms of Naphtol AS-G onto activated carbon are favorable with high adsorption capacity for both biomaterials. The mechanisms of color removal by activated carbon involved chemical and physical adsorption, in accordance with both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The calculated maximum dye adsorption capacities onto rice straw and oil palm midrib activated carbon were 55.86 and 69.44 mg/g, respectively. Adsorption using biomass-based activated carbon offers a good technique for textile wastewater treatment as it could remove up to 95% of the color intensity besides reducing other pollutants such as COD, nitrate and phosphate.

Abstract The adsorption isotherms of Reactive Red 120 (RR-120) on Brazilian pine-fruit shell activated carbon, at six temperatures (298, 303, 308, 313, 318 and 323 K) and pH = 6, were determined and interpreted using a double layer model with one energy. A statistical physics treatment established the formulation of this model. Steric and energetic parameters related to the adsorption process, such as the number of adsorbed molecules per site, the receptor sites density and the concentration at half-saturation, have been considered. Thermodynamic potential functions such as entropy, internal energy and Gibbs free enthalpy are analyzed, and the choice of the models is based on assumptions in correlation with experimental conditions. By numerical fitting, the investigated parameters were deduced. The theoretical expressions provide a good understanding and interpretation of the adsorption isotherms at the microscopic level. We believe that our work contributes to new theoretical insights on the dye adsorption in order to know the physical nature of the adsorption process.

ABSTRACT Dye degradation is a significant topic in environmental science, since dyes can bring several problems to the environment. Activated carbon (AC) is an important material used as adsorbent of these hazardous substances, but need to be improved especially into specific substances. This paper aimed to evaluate the impact of activated carbon surface modified by corona treatment (electric discharge) on adsorption of different dyes. Activated carbons were treated by corona treatment to cause surface modification, modifying exposure time to treatment (2, 5, 8 and 10 minutes). Evaluation of adsorption was performed by adsorption isotherms and kinetic adsorption. Dyes differed in their charge (anionic or cationic) and molecular weight. Dyes used were Methylene Blue (cationic) and Congo Red (anionic). Surface area and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were also conducted. Surface chemistry was impacted by corona treatment and interfered in dye adsorption. There was decrease of dye adsorption for both dyes according to time exposure. However, the decrease of Methylene Blue (25%) was higher than Congo Red (14%), suggesting that either charge or molecule weight interfere in the adsorption isotherms. In kinetic adsorption, there was no difference between treatments, although there was a difference in adsorption equilibrium. SEM showed that surface was impacted (pore destruction) by corona treatment. Furthermore, estimated surface area was strongly impacted by the treatment, reducing with the increase of time exposure. Thus, textural properties might have contributed to reduce adsorption capacity of both dyes and play a higher role than chemical properties.

Abstract In this work, sugarcane bagasse waste (SBW) was used as a lignocellulosic precursor to develop a high surface area activated carbon (AC) by thermal treatment of the SBW impregnated with KOH. This sugarcane bagasse waste activated carbon (SBWAC) was characterized by means of crystallinity, porosity, surface morphology and functional groups availability. The SBWAC exhibited Type I isotherm which corresponds to microporosity with high specific surface area of 709.3 m2/g and 6.6 nm of mean pore diameter. Further application of SBWAC as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal demonstrated that the adsorption process closely followed the pseudo-second order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models. On the other hand, thermodynamic study revealed the endothermic nature and spontaneity of MB dye adsorption on SBWAC with high acquired adsorption capacity (136.5 mg/g). The MB dye adsorption onto SBWAC possibly involved electrostatic interaction, H-bonding and π-π interaction. This work demonstrates SBW as a potential lignocellulosic precursor to produce high surface area AC that can potentially remove more cationic dyes from the aqueous environment.
