Adsorption of Telon Blue Dye from aqueous solutions using pine cone powder: Isotherm, Kinetic models and heat of adsorption

Abstract

This study investigates the removal of Telon Blue (TB) dye from aqueous solutions using powder of tree cone stalks (KST), which is readily available in nature. The factors affecting TB removal, including pH (3-11), amount of adsorbent (3-10 g/L), stirring speed (50-250 rpm), contact time (5-90 min), initial dye concentration (25-400 mg/L), and temperature (25-55 °C), were examined. The pHpzc value of KST was determined using the pH drift method to evaluate the effect of pH on the adsorption process and found as 5.4. The 87.6% of maximum efficiency for dye removal was achieved under the following conditions: pH 3, 5 g/L of adsorbent, 200 rpm stirring speed, 10 minutes of contact time, and a temperature of 25 °C. To comprehend the adsorption mechanism, kinetic and isothermal models were applied and found to be more compatible with the pseudo-second-order (𝑅2=0.99) kinetic and Temkin (R2=0.99) isothermal models. The thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is exothermic, as indicated by the negative value of 𝛥𝐻°. It has been proven through experiments that KST absorbs TB from the dye mixture with high ratio. The study revealed that KST is an effective and highly reusable adsorbent in removing TB dye from aqueous solutions.

Kozalak Sapı tozu kullanarak sulu çözeltilerden Telon Blue Boyası adsorpsiyonu: İzoterm, Kinetik modelleri ve adsorpsiyon ısısı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, doğada kolayca bulunabilen ağaç kozalak saplarının tozu (KST) kullanılarak sulu çözeltilerden Telon Blue (TB) boyası giderimi araştırılmıştır. TB giderimini etkileyen faktörleri belirleyebilmek için pH (3-11), kozalak miktarı (3-10 g/L), karıştırma hızı (50-250 rpm), temas süresi (5-90 dk., başlangıç boya konsantrasyonu (25-400 mg/L) ve sıcaklık (25-55 °C) parametreleri incelenmiştir. Adsorpsiyon prosesi üzerine pH etkisinin değerlendirilebilmesi için KST ye ait izoelektrik nokta tayini (pHpzc) değeri pH drift metodu kullanılarak, 5.4 olarak bulunmuştur. Deneysel çalışmalar sonunda %87.6’lık maksimum boya giderim verimi pH 3’te, 5 g/L adsorbent dozu, 200 rpm karıştırma hızı, 10 dk. temas süresi ve 25° sıcaklık değerlerinde elde edilmiştir. Adsorpsiyon mekanizmasının anlaşılabilmesi için kinetik ve izoterm modelleri ile incelenmiş sözde ikinci derece kinetik (𝑅2=0.99) ve Temkin izoterm modellerine (𝑅2=0.97) daha uyumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Termodinamik çalışmalar sonucunda 𝛥𝐻°'ın negatif değeri adsorpsiyon prosesinin ekzotermik olduğunu göstermektedir. KST’nin boya karışımından TB’yi yüksek oranda adsorpladığı yapılan deney ile kanıtlanmıştır. Çalışma, KST'nin TB boyasını sulu çözeltilerden uzaklaştırmada etkili ve tekrar kullanılabilirliği yüksek bir adsorbent olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
