UTILIZATION OF DRY ERUCARIA PLANT RESIDUES AS A NOVEL ADSORBENT FOR METHYLENE BLUE DYE: EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND MODELING
Keywords:
Adsorption, Methylene blue dye, Erucaria plant, Factors affecting adsorptionAbstract
The aim of this research was to study the ability of dry Erucaria plant residues to adsorb methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. A UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to determine the dye concentration in the solution before and after the adsorption process. The effect of several factors on the adsorption efficiency was also studied, such as: contact time between the adsorbent and the dye, amount of adsorbent used in the adsorption, particle size of the adsorbent, initial concentration of the dye in the solution, and temperature of the solution. The results showed that the adsorption process occurs very quickly, where equilibrium between the dye concentration in the solution and on the surface of the adsorbent is reached within only 15 minutes. The results also showed that the adsorption capacity decreases with increasing amount of adsorbent, and that the particle size does not affect the adsorption capacity significantly. In addition, the results indicated that the Freundlich isotherm describes the equilibrium relationship between the dye concentration in the solution and on the surface of the adsorbent better than the Langmuir isotherm. Finally, the results suggested that the adsorption process is exothermic, meaning that the temperature of the solution affects negatively on the adsorption capacity, and that this process is spontaneous from a thermodynamic point of view.
