Biosorption of an Anionic Dye onto Chemically Modified Pomegranate Peel: Effect of Modification on Removal Efficiency

Abstract

Control of water pollution has gained increasing importance in recent years. Released dyes into the environment account for only a small part of water pollution. In this study, agricultural waste pomegranate peels (Punica granatum L., PGL) were used as biosorbent for the removal of Reactive Black 5 (RS5) dye from aqueous media, and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) was chemically modified to increase its biosorption capacity. Reactive Black 5 (RS5) biosorption was investigated depending on pH, interaction time, and temperature; kinetic and isotherm biosorption data were extracted using experimental data. The biosorption kinetic and isotherm modeling determined that the experimental data conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. The biosorption capacity increased with the increase in temperature, and it was found to be 54.64 mg/g for PGL and 161.3 mg/g for HMDA@PGL. In studies with synthetic wastewater prepared to evaluate the potential performance of biosorbents, it was determined that no significant matrix effect was observed in biosorption. According to the results, HMDA@PGL biosorbent was a more effective biosorbent than PGL for RS5 removal.

Kimyasal Modifiye Nar Kabuğu ile Anyonik Boyanın Biyosorpsiyonu: Modifikasyonun Uzaklaştırma Verimliliği Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Su kirliliğinin kontrolü son yıllarda artan bir önem kazanmıştır. Boyaların çevreye salınması su kirliliğinin sadece küçük bir bölümünü oluşturur. Bu çalışmada, sulu ortamdan Reaktif Siyah 5 (RS5) boyasının giderimi için tarımsal atık olan nar kabukları (Punica granatum L., PGL) biyosorban olarak kullanılmış ve biyosorpsiyon kapasitesini arttırmak amacıyla hekzametilendiamin (HMDA) ile kimyasal olarak modifiye edilmiştir. RS5 biyosorpsiyonu pH, etkileşim zamanı ve sıcaklığa bağlı olarak incelenmiş; bunun yanı sıra, deneysel veriler kullanılarak biyosorpsiyonun kinetik ve izoterm verileri çıkartılmıştır. Biyosorpsiyonun kinetik ve izoterm modellemesiyle deneysel verilerin yalancı-ikinci-derece kinetik ve Langmuir izotermine modellerine uygunluk gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Sıcaklık artışı ile biyosorpsiyon kapasitesi artmış ve 40 °C’de PGL için 54,64 mg/g, HMDA@PGL için 161,3 mg/g olarak bulunmuştur. Biyosorbanların potansiyel performansını değerlendirmek için hazırlanan sentetik atık su ile yapılan çalışmalarda biyosorpsiyonda önemli bir matris etkisinin gözlemlenmediğini tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre RS5 giderimi için HMDA@PGL biyosorbanının PGL’ye göre daha etkin bir biyosorban olduğu bulunmuştur.
