    Adsorption Behavior of Methylene Blue Onto Activated Coconut Shells: Kinetic, Thermodynamic, Mechanism and Regeneration of the Adsorbent
    (SAGE, 2024) Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
    Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove some classes of pollutants from waters, especially those which are not easily biodegradable. The removal of Methylene blue (MB), as a pollutant, from waste waters of textile, paper, printing and other industries has been addressed by the researchers. The aim of this study is to eliminate MB by Activated Coconut Shells (ACS) produced at low cost by adsorption in batch mode. The ACS was characterized by the FTIR spectroscopy and point of zero charge (pHpzc: 5.06). Some examined factors were found to have significant impacts on the MB uptake of ACS like the initial dye concentration Co (40-120 mg/L), solution pH (2-8), ACS dose (1-12 g/L), agitation speed (50-500 r/min), particles size (1.0- 1.2 mm) and temperature (298-333 K). The best capacity was found at pH 6 with an adsorbent dose 8 g/L, an agitation speed 200 r/min and a contact time of 60 min. Modeling Kinetics and Isotherms shows that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with R2 (0.935 -0.998) and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model provide better fitness to the experimental data with the maximum adsorption capacity of 30.30 mg/g at 25°C. The separation factor R L (0.933-0.541) in the concentration range studied (10-120 mg/L) shows a favorable adsorption. The isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of the free energy ΔG ° (198-9.72 kJ/mol); enthalpy ΔH ° (82.082 kJ/mol) and entropy ΔS o (245.689 J/K mol) to predict the nature of MB adsorption process. The positive values of (ΔG o ) and (ΔHo ) indicate a non-spontaneous and endothermic MB adsorption with a chemisorption. The adsorbent elaborated from Coconut Shells was found to efficient and suitable for the removal of MB dye from aqueous solutions, due to its availability, low cost preparation and good uptake capacity.

    Potential of titanium dioxide to remove bromothymol blue (BTB) in aqueous solution by batch mode Adsorption–Kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic studies
    (Springer, 2023) Abbas, Moussa
    The adsorption is widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from water, especially those that are hardly biodegradable and dyes represent one of these problematic groups. The removal of bromothymol blue (BTB) from wastewater using TiO2 was studied in batch system. The adsorbent TiO2 has a specific surface area of 400 m2/g, a mean crystallites sizes (5–10 nm), and pHpzc equal to 6.5. TiO2 is stable over the whole pH range and constitutes a good compromise between efficiency and stability (in both acidic and basic media), therefore, the use of other additives is not necessary. Its non-toxicity and low energy required for its activation (E ~ 3 eV) as well as its low cost for most of the applications envisaged make it advantageous. The influence of effective variables such as solution pH (1–10), contact time (0–60 min), initial BTB concentration (5–40 mg/l), adsorbent dose of TiO2 (0.2–2 g/l), and temperature (20–60 °C) on the adsorption efficiency was examined, while the BTB content was determined by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The optimal pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time for the efficient removal were found to be 10, 0.2 g/l, and 30 min, respectively, and the adsorbent was characterized by the BET analysis and point of zero charge (pHpzc). Among the different kinetic models, the experimental data of the BTB removal are well fitted with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with a high determination coefficient. The evaluation of the fitness of equilibrium data by various conventional isotherm models, based on the R2 value as criterion, show the successful applicability of the Langmuir model for the interpretation of experimental data with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 27.02 mg/g at 20 °C and R2 of 0.997. The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of the free energy (ΔGo = 2.1808 to—1.0981 kJ/mol), enthalpy (ΔHo = 20.74 kJ/mol), and entropy (ΔSo = 65.58 J/mol/K) indicate that the overall adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic in nature

    Adsorption of methyl green (MG) in aqueous solution by titanium dioxide (TiO2) : kinetics and thermodynamic study
    (Springer, 2021) Abbas, Moussa
    Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from waters, especially those that are not easily biodegradable. In this respect, the removal of Methyl green (MG) from waste water using TiO2 was studied in batch system. This research was carried out to evaluate the capability of TiO2 toward the water treatment relevant to organic MG at batch conditions. The effects of contact time (0–60 min), initial pH (3–11), agitation speed (100–500 rpm), temperature (25–45 °C), adsorbent dosage (0.02–6 g/L), and MG concentration (50–200 mg/L) on the MG adsorption by TiO2 have been studied. The adsorption kinetics in view of four kinetic models, i.e., the pseudo-first-order Lagergren, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich models, was discussed. The adsorption of MG is well described by the pseudo-second-order equation with the best determination coefficient (R2 = 0.999). The experimental isotherm data were analyzed by different models; the adsorption follows the Langmuir and Temkin models, providing a better fit of the equilibrium data. The batch adsorption experiments were carried out to optimize the physical parameters on the MG removal efficiency, and it has been found that 384.615 mg/g at 25 °C is removed. The positive value of the activation energy (Ea = 14.1813 kJ/mol) indicates the endothermic nature and clearly that the randomness is increased at the solid–solution interface during the MG adsorption onto TiO2, indicating that some structural exchange occurs among the active sites of the adsorbent and the MG species

For this purpose, the ZIF-11 particles were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. In batch experiments, the effective BCG adsorption parameters onto ZIF-11 particles were exam-ined. Based on the characterization results, the synthesized ZIF-11 showed a highly porous, irreg-ular, and inhomogeneous shapes and crystals with varying sizes as well as high thermal stability. The adsorption results indicated that the highest BCG removal (89%) was obtained when the solu-tion pH, the stirring speed, the contact time, and the temperature were adjusted to 6.8, 400rpm,30min, and 298K, respectively. The adsorption data fitted well to Langmuir and Temkin mod-els with maximum adsorption capacity of 150mg/g.The adsorption kinetics was compatible with the pseudo-second-order and the intraparticle diffusion models. Indeed, BCG molecules instanta-neously adsorbed on the external surface of ZIF-11 particles and gradually diffused within theirs pores. The negative value of free energy change and positive values of enthalpy and entropy changes showed the feasibility, randomness, and endothermicity of the BCG adsorption process, which was found to be physicochemical based

    Experimental investigation of activated carbon prepared from apricot stones material (ASM) adsorbent for removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution
    (SAGE Publications, 2020) Abbas, Moussa
    The adsorption of malachite green onto activated carbon prepared from apricot stones material has been investigated at batch conditions. The effects of contact time (0–60min), initial pH (3–11), agitation speed (100–700 r/min), temperature (298–343K), adsorbent dose (1–10 g/L), and malachite green concentration (4.45–17.6mg/L) on the malachite green adsorption by apricot stones material have been studied. Malachite green removal increases over the contact time until equilibrium. The batch adsorption experiments were carried out to optimize the physical parameters on the malachite green removal efficiency. It has been found that 23.80mg/g at 25 C and 88.05mg/g at 70 C were removed. The kinetic parameters, rate constants and equilibrium adsorption capacities, were calculated and discussed for each kinetic model. The adsorption of malachite green onto apricot stones material is well described by the pseudo second-order equation. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed by different models; the adsorption follows the Langmuir model, providing a better fit of the equilibrium data. The thermodynamics parameters such as the negative free energy DG ( 0.191 to 4.447 kJ/mol) and positive enthalpy DH (50.86 kJ/mol) indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the malachite green adsorption with a chemisorption process

    Kinetic and thermodynamic studies of the ammonium ions adsorption onto natural Algerian bentonite
    (Taylor & Francis, 2016) Angar, Yassmina; Djelali, Nacer-Eddine; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima
    Adsorption processes are the most recommended complementary techniques applied in the wastewater treatment owing to their low economic cost, recyclability, efficiency and low power consumption. Clays known for this treatment are aluminosilicate minerals which contain different exchangeable ions on their surfaces. In the structure of bentonite surface, several cations have the exchange ability such as calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. This propriety is responsible for the adsorption of several cationic water pollutants. In this study, natural bentonite particles of 80 μm in diameter were considered and kept stirring at 200 RPM in a contaminated solution with ammonium ions. The effect of contact time and temperature showed that at an optimal temperature of 30°C and during a short stirring time of 50 min, the removal efficiency could reach its maximum of 53.36%. The kinetic study of the ammonium adsorption reaction on natural bentonite allowed concluding that the reaction is obeyed to the first-order model. Determination of various thermodynamic parameters suggests that the reaction is spontaneous and exothermic

    Effect of fuel thermo physic parameters on electrical and energetic performances of fuel cell
    (2017) Elaguab, Mohamed; Allaoui, Tayeb; Chaker, Abdelkader; Benhamou, Amina
    For the operation of a fuel cell, pure hydrogen gives the best results in terms of performance . But the choice of fuel does depend only on the fuel; there are other factors to be considered. In addition to the availability for the user through a distribution network, it is necessary to take into account the flow of energy from wells to the wheel and the technical problems of production, transport and storage of this fuel. Storing hydrogen on vehicle board is essentially limited by the volume and the weight assigned to the tank. Add to this, practical aspects of use and safety. This work gives a comparison of the thermodynamic properties of hydrogen pile and with alcohols fuels (methanol, ethanol) directly in a temperature range varying from 298.15 to 1273.15 K and a pressure varying from 1 to 10 atm and a molar concentration of oxygen ranging from 0.21 to 1
