Item Adsorption kinetics modelling of methylene blue solution by activated carbon using Peleg’s equation(Université M'hamed Bougara de Boumerdès, 2020) Bourfis, Nassima; Benaissa, F.; Benamara, S.; Gougam, H.; Louhab, K.The aim of this study is to envisage the possibility of modelling the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue (MB) by activated carbon using the Peleg’s model. Equation often used to describe the sorption and absorption kinetics of water by the material. The study of equilibrium adsorption was also envisaged in this study and the isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich were tested. The activated carbon was prepared from almond shells bitter, fruit of plants growing in parts of Algeria, especially in the Setif region. Statistical analyses, have proved that the adsorption kinetics of MB by activated carbon is perfectly (R² = 0.9999) described by the Peleg model. On another hand, the study showed that, compared to the Langmuir model, Freundlich model is most appropriate to describe the equilibrium adsorptionItem A comparative study of raw and treated peach stones for the adsorption of hexavalent chromium: characterization, kinetic and thermodynamic modelling(2018) Khemmari, Fariza; Benrachedi, K.In the last years, much attention has been focused on the use of low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. The present study consists of comparing the adsorption of hexavalent chromium in aqueous solutions by two adsorbents: raw peach stones (RPS) and peach stones activated carbon (PSAC). The characterization of the adsorbents was done by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparative study was carried out using adsorption parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dose and solution pH in a batch system. Results show that pH is key parameter for adsorption optimization. The time necessary to attain adsorption equilibrium was found 120 min for PSAC in the pH range 2-5.6 and 240 min for RPS at pH 2 with maximum removal percentage greater than 97% for both adsorbents. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters revealed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process for both adsorbents. Investigations carried out proved that RPS and PSAC are good potential adsorbents for the treatment of toxic hexavalent chromiumItem Feasibility study of adsorption of a textile dye on activated carbon prepared starting from the coffee grounds(Aljest, 2017) Mahdi, K.; Benrachedi, K.The activated carbon used in this study is prepared starting from the coffee ground whose abundance is important in our country and of which the use is often limited to food consummation. The physical characterization (porosity and surface) was determined by the adsorption of gas nitrogen to 77 K (BET), showed the presence of macropores (1.77 m2 /g), as well as the analysis by electronic scan microscopy MEB revealed the presence of a broad specific surface. The activated carbon obtained starting from the coffee ground was the object of an application to the aqueous medium for tests of elimination of a cation dye (methylene blue) used in the industry of textile, prepared synthetically. Several parameters were studied in order to optimize the ideal conditions for a good adsorption of the pollutant to study; in particular, the kinetics of adsorption, the effect of the initial concentration and the effect of the pH of the solution examined. The simulated isotherms of adsorption are very correctly described by the models of Langmuir and Freundlich. The percentage of discolouration reached is of: 99%. Therefore, one can conclude that this study showed that the coffee ground chemically activated can be used like new adsorbent for the water treatment contaminated by the textile dyes
