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.
Adsorption in simple batch experiments of Coomassie blue G-250 by apricot stone activated carbon—Kinetics and isotherms modelling
(Taylor & Francis, 2015) Abbas, Moussa; Cherfi, Abdelhamid; Kaddour, Samia; Aksil, Tounsia
The preparation of an activated carbon from apricot stones (ASAC) with H3PO4 activation and its ability to remove the Coomassie blue (CB) from aqueous solutions are reported in this study. The spectroscopy method is used to get information on interactions between the functional groups of the adsorbent and the CB. Batch adsorption experiments were first undertaken to assess the effect of various parameters on the removal efficiency of CB. It was observed that under optimized conditions up to 98.022 mg/g could be removed from solution at 50°C. The equilibrium experimental data were analysed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. An error-based statistic study showed that the isotherm data are well described by the Freundlich model. The suitability of the kinetic models for the adsorption of CB onto ASAC was also investigated. It was found that the adsorption kinetics of the dye obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The evaluation of thermodynamics parameters such as activation energy of adsorption (Ea: 66.161 kJ/mol) predicted the chemisorption nature of the sorption process. The negative Gibbs free energy (−ΔG° = 15.21–19.27 kJ/mol) and negative enthalpy change (ΔH° = −55.088 kJ/mol) indicated, respectively, the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the reaction

(2017) Abbas, Moussa; Aksil, Tounsia
The adsorption of malachite green (MG) onto apricot stone activated carbon (ASAC) in a batch adsorber and the effects of contact time, initial pH, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentration on the MG adsorption by the ASAC have been studied. It was observed that under optimized conditions up to 23.94 mg/g at 25 oC and 88.5 mg/g at 70 oC could be removed from solution. Kinetic parameters; rate constants, equilibrium adsorptin capacities and correlation coefficients, for each kinetic equation were calculated and discussed. It was shown that the adsorption of MG onto ASAC could be described by the pseudo second-order equation. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Elovich and Redlich-Peterson equations. Adsorption of MG onto ASAC followed the Langmuir isotherm. The evaluation of thermodynamics parameters such as the negative Gibbs free energy and positive enthalpy change indicated respectively the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the reaction and the chimisorption of the sorption process
Adsorption of malachite green onto walnut shells : kinetics, thermodynamic, and regeneration of the adsorbent by chemical process
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023) Merrad, Samiya; Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
The textile industry produces huge amounts of wastewaters containing synthetic and toxic dyes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption of Malachite green (MG) onto Activated Carbon from Walnut Shells (ACWS) realized in a batch system. The effects of contact time, initial pH, stirring speed, particle size, temperature, adsorbent dose, and initial MG concentration on the adsorption capacity were investigated graphically for determining optimum conditions. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Elovich models. The adsorption follows well the Langmuir equation, providing a better fit of the equilibrium adsorption data. Under optimized conditions, up to 154.56 mg/g at 25 °C and 370.37 mg/g at 45 °C were removed from the solution. The adsorption mechanism of MG onto ACWS was studied using the first-pseudo-order, second-pseudo-order, Elovich and Webber–Morris diffusion models. The adsorptions’ kinetic was found to follow rather a pseudo-second-order kinetic with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.999. The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters, i.e., the free energy ΔGo (0.802 to − 2.123 kJ/mol), positive enthalpy change ΔHo(18.547 kJ/mol), entropy (ΔSo = 0.064 kJ/molK), and activation energy (Ea = 14.813 kJ/mol). The negative ΔGo and positive ΔHo values indicate that the overall MG adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic
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

Contribution of adsorption and photo catalysis for the elimination of Black Eriochrome (NET) in an aqueous medium-Optimization of the parameters and kinetics modeling
(Elsevier, 2020) Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of Black Eriochrome (NET), a dye selected as a model organic pollutant, has been investigated in aqueous suspension of TiO2 as photo catalyst under UV irradiation. The elimination of NET, an organic compound widely used in the textile industry, was realized by photo degradation. The advanced oxidation process (AOP) concerns the active species generated in the landfill, mainly the HO• radicals. These species induce highly oxidizing properties for the destruction of the organic waste. The adsorption and photo catalytic degradation of NET has been investigated in aqueous TiO2suspension under UV irradiation. To determine the equilibrium time, fine TiO2 powder was dispersed in NET solution under continuous stirring; the NET concentration gradually decreases and stabilizes after 20 min of contact. The modeling of this kinetic followsthe pseudo-first order kinetic model with a high determination coefficient (R2 = 0.999) and a capacity qe,cal in good agreement with the experimental data. The photo degradation experiments were undertaken to evaluate the effect of the analytical parameters influencing the NET removal efficiency. It has been observed that under optimal conditions (pH 12, adsorbent dosage 1 g/L, stirring speed 200 rpm and contact time 120 min), 92.9 % removal efficiency of NET was obtained for a concentration of 46 mg/L.The photocatalytic degradation rate was favored for high NET concentrations of solution in agreement with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) model
Contribution of photocatalysis for the elimination of Methyl Orange (MO) in aqueous medium using TiO2 catalyst, optimization of the parameters and kinetics modeling
(Desalination Publications, 2021) Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
The photo degradation of methyl orange (MO) in water onto TiO2 under UV irradiation is investi-gated. The parameters (MO concentration, catalyst dose, time, flux intensity and pH) influencing the degradation kinetics are studied. The equilibrium adsorption time of MO in the presence of TiO2 is reached after 50min of contact. Addition of H2O2 and NaCl at concentrations ranging from 100 to 500ppm shows that the percentage of the photo degradation decreases with increasing the H2O2concentration. The best results are obtained for a concentration of 100mg/L, while NaCl has a neg-ative effect on the MO photo degradation. The photocatalytic degradation rate was favored at high MO concentrations in agreement with the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L-H) model. The constants krand K for the MO photo degradation are found to be 0.048mgL/min and 16.246L/mg, respectively
Contribution of the electrocoagulation method in the removal of fluorine ions from aqueous solutions
(2021) Abbas, Moussa
Photovoltaic technology has experienced a huge global economic boom in recent decades and a growing trend is expected in the future. This technology consists of the application of a number of processes including growth, oxidation, doping, metallization, etc. In order to reduce the fluo- ride content in the water below a threshold value that complies with the standards of industrial discharges or water intended for human consumption, various treatment techniques have been implemented. In this respect, electrocoagulation (EC) has been chosen in this study because of its performance compared to other methods. Wastewaters from surface treatment of silicon wafers are rich in fluoride and the lime precipitation is insufficient to comply with environmental standards. In this work, the EC technique, with Fe anodes, was used as an alternative for water purification. By coupling electroflotation to the electrocoagulation in the same cell, the separation of solid/liquid was significantly improved. To study the process performance, tests on the effect of the operational parameters such as current intensity, initial pH, nature of supporting electrolyte and its concentra- tion were carried out on synthetic solutions. The optimal values are: pHo = 4; current = 1.4 A and [NaCl] = 2 g/L. The removal efficiency of 62% was reached starting from an initial concentration of 35 mg/L. A total clarification of the synthetic solution was also obtained
Contribution of zeolite to remove malachite green in aqueous solution by adsorption processes : kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamic studies
(SAGE, 2023) Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
The textile industry produces huge amounts of wastewaters containing synthetic dyes. In the textile industry, acid, basic, reactive, dispersed chemicals are widely used for dyeing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption of malachite green onto zeolite from aqueous solutions was realized in batch system. The adsorbent was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, and zero point charge (pHzpc = 10.42). However, some examined factors were found to have significant impacts on the adsorption capacity of zeolite such as the initial malachite green concentration (Co), solution pH, adsorbent dose, agitation speed, particles size, and temperature. The best capacity was found at pH 8 with an adsorbent dose 0.2 g/l, an agitation speed 200 rpm and a contact time of 40 min. The kinetic adsorptions were found to follow rather a pseudo-second order kinetic model with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.999. The equilibrium adsorption data for the malachite green adsorption onto the zeolite were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, and Temkin models. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation with a capacity qmax of 83.33 mg/g at 25°C. The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters, namely the free energy (ΔG°); enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) to predict the nature of adsorption. The positive values of ΔG° and ΔH° indicate that the overall adsorption is not spontaneous and endothermic with a physisorption process. The adsorbent elaborated from the zeolite was found to be efficient and suitable for the elimination of reactive dyes from aqueous solutions, due to its availability of adsorption sites, low cost preparation, and good uptake capacity
Elaboration of a new Activated Carbon derived from the Crown of Oak (ACOW) to removal the toxic Iodine: Kinetic, Isotherms modelling and Thermodynamics Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Aksil, Tounsia; Abbas, Moussa; Trari, Mohamed
The current study aims to develop a new adsorbent material using oak crown and explore its effectiveness in removing I2 ions through a series of batch experiments. ACOW was characterised by zero charge (pHpzc) and FTIR spectroscopy. The impact of the initial I2 concentration (20-100 mg/L), temperature (25-55 °C), pH (2-14), adsorbent dosage (2-10 g/L), Stirring speed (100-900 rpm), particle size (100-2000μm) and contact time (0-30 min) on I2 adsorption was examined. The adsorption kinetic obeys the pseudo-second order model with a determination coefficient (R2) equal to 0.999. Adsorption follows the Langmuir equation well, with the best fit to the experimental data at equilibrium. A qmax value (= 103.606 mg/g) at 25°C and 120.773 mg/g at 55°C were eliminated under the optimised conditions, indicating homogeneous adsorption on the surface of the adsorbent. The thermodynamic parameters gave a negative free energy ΔGo (-3.445 to -5.629 kJ/mol), a positive enthalpy ΔHo (18.406 kJ/mol) and an activation energy Ea (= 22.599 kJ/mol), thus confirming the spontaneous and endothermic nature of adsorption of iodine on ACOW. The positive entropy ΔSo (0.0733 kJ/mol K) show increased randomness of the solid-liquid interface during the adsorption.
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
Experimental investigation of titanium dioxide as an adsorbent for removal of Congo red from aqueous solution, equilibrium and kinetics modeling
(IWA Publishing, 2020) Abbas, Moussa
The adsorption of Congo red onto titanium dioxide (TiO2) material has been investigated at batch conditions. The effects of contact time (0–60 min), initial pH (3–11), agitation speed (100–500 rpm), temperature (298–343 K), adsorbent dosage (0.5–2 g/L), and Congo red concentration (5–15 mg/L) on the Congo red adsorption by TiO2 have been studied. The kinetic parameters, rate constants, and equilibrium adsorption capacities were calculated and discussed for each kinetic model. The adsorption of Congo red onto TiO2 is well described by the pseudo-second order equation. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir model, providing a better fit of the equilibrium data. The batch adsorption experiments were carried out to optimize the physical parameters on the Congo red removal efficiency. It has been found that 152 mg/g at 25 °C is removed. The thermodynamic parameters indicate the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process with activation energy (Ea) of −64.193 kJ/mol. The positive value of the entropy (ΔS°) clearly shows that the randomness is decreased at the solid–solution interface during the Congo red adsorption onto TiO2, indicating that some structural exchange may occur among the active sites of the adsorbent and the ions
Factors influencing the adsorption and photocatalysis of direct red 80 in the presence of a TiO2 : equilibrium and kinetics modeling
(SAGE Publications, 2021) Abbas, Moussa
Among the different photocatalysts, TiO2 (Eg = 3.1 eV, zero charge point (pHpzc = 6.3), and surface = 55 m2/g) is currently the most efficient and the most studied semiconductor due to its strong photocatalytic activity, non-toxicity, and chemical stability. The elimination of DR-80 on TiO2 is studied by adsorption in batch mode and by application of heterogeneous photocatalysis onto TiO2 under UV irradiation. The effects of contact time (0–60 min), initial pH (3–11), dose of the adsorbent (0.5–3 g L−1), and DR-80 concentration (40–60 mg L−1) on the adsorption of DR-80 by TiO2 are studied for optimization of these parameters. The kinetic parameters, rate constants, and equilibrium adsorption capacities are calculated and discussed for each applied theoretical model. The adsorption of DR-80 is well described by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The fitting of the adsorption isotherms shows that the models of Langmuir and Temkin offering a better fit and an adsorption 64.102 mg/g at 25 °C of DR-80 are eliminated. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency strongly depends on the pH while the initial rate of photodegradation is proportional to the catalyst dose, and becomes almost constant above a threshold value. It was found that the photodegradation is favored at low DR-80 concentrations in accordance with the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model with the constants Kad = 6.5274 L/mg and KL–H = 0.17818 mg L−1 min. However, the adsorption is improved for high DR-80 concentrations. It is found that the degradation depends on both the temperature and the pH with a high elimination rate at high temperature. The photocatalyst TiO2 has a better activity for the degradation of DR-80, compared to some commercial catalysts that have been described in the literature
Kinetic and equilibrium studies of cobalt adsorption on apricot stone activated carbon
(Elsevier, 2014) Abbas, Moussa; Kaddour, S.; Trari, M.
The activated carbon from apricot stone with H3PO4 and its ability to remove Co2+ are reported. The FTIR spectroscopy brings insights on interactions between the functional groups of the carbon and Co2+. Adsorption studies are carried in batch mode by varying the initial Co2+ concentration and pH. A comparison of two kinetic models on the overall adsorption rate shows that the system is described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Freundlich model fits the data with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 111.11 mg/g at pH 9. The enthalpy and free energy indicate an endothermic and not spontaneous process
Kinetic and equilibrium studies of coomassie blue G-250 adsorption on apricot stone activated carbon
(2015) Abbas, Moussa; Cherfi, Abdelhamid; Kaddour, Samia; Aksil, Tounsia; Trari, Mohamed
The preparation of Activated Carbon from Apricot Stone (ASAC) with H3PO4 and its ability to remove the Coomassie Blue (CB) used in textile industry from aqueous solutions are reported in this study. The FTIR spectroscopy is used to get information on interactions between the adsorbent and CB. A series of contact time experiments were undertaken in stirred batch adsorber to assess the effect of the system variables. The results were discussed and showed that ASAC can be used in the wastewater treatment. A comparison of two models on the overall adsorption rate showed that the kinetic of adsorption was better described by the pseudo-second order model. The adsorption isotherms of CB onto ASAC are determined and correlated with common isotherms equations. The smaller RMSE values obtained for the Freundlich model indicate the better curve fitting; the monolayer adsorption capacity of CB is found to be 10.09 mg/g at temperature 22.5 °C and 98.022 mg/g at temperature 50 °C and pH ~ 2. The thermodynamic parameters indicate the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. The positive value of the entropy (ΔS) clearly that the randomness in decreased at the solid-solution interface during the CB adsorption onto ASAC, indicating that some structural exchange may occur among the active sites of the adsorbent and the ions. The activation energy (66.161 kJ/ mol) indicates that the chemical adsorption was predominant

Mass transfer processes in the adsorption of Lead (Pb2+) by apricot stone activated carbon (ASAC) : isotherms modeling and thermodynamic study
(Springer, 2021) Abbas, Moussa
In the present study, batch experiments were carried out to elucidate the potential of apricot stone activated carbon ASAC to remove Pb2+ ions from aqueous solution. ASAC was characterized by Bruanauer, Emmett and Teller surface area S = 80.08 (m2/g), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of various process parameters such as initial pH (2–14), adsorbent dose (5–45 g/L) initial metal ion concentration (20–0 mg/L), contact time (0–90 min), agitation speed (100–700 rpm) and temperature (298–323 k) were investigated in their respective range and their optimum conditions were ascertained. The adsorption kinetics were analyzed by the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. It was found that the adsorption of the metal ions followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Adsorption isotherms were modeled with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Hasley and Harkins models and their isotherm constants were calculated. The Freundlich model fits the data with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 166.813 mg/g at pH 8. The thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy were calculated to predict the nature of adsorption process. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of Pb2+ ions on ASAC is endothermic (ΔH0 = 121.38 kJ/mol) and not spontaneous (ΔG0 > 0) in nature
Mass-transfer processes in the adsorption of crystal violet by activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels: Kinetics and thermodynamic studies
(SAGE Publications, 2020) Abbas, Moussa; Harrache, Zahia; Harrache, Zahia; Trari, M.
This study investigates the potential use of activated carbon, prepared from pomegranate peels, as an adsorbent activated using H3PO4 and its ability to remove crystal violet from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (specific surface area: 51.0674 m2 g−1) and point of zero charge (pHPZC = 5.2). However, some examined factors were found to have significant impacts on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels such as the initial dye concentration (5–15 mg L−1), solution pH (2–14), adsorbent dose (1–8 g L−1), agitation speed (100–700 r/min), and temperature (298–338 K). The best adsorption capacity was found at pH 11 with an adsorbent dose of 1 g L−1, an agitation speed at 400 r/min, and a contact time of 45 min. The adsorption mechanism of crystal violet onto activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels was studied using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and Webber–Morris diffusion models. The adsorption kinetics were found to rather follow a pseudo-second order kinetic model with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.999. The equilibrium adsorption data for crystal violet adsorbed onto activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, and Temkin models. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation with qmax capacities of 23.26 and 76.92 mg g−1 at 27°C and 32°C, respectively. The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters like the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy to predict the nature of adsorption process. The negative values ΔG0 (−5.221 to −1.571 kJ mol−1) and ΔH0 (−86.141 kJ mol−1) indicate that the overall adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic with a physisorption process. The adsorbent derived from pomegranate peels was found to be very effective and suitable for the removal of reactive dyes from aqueous solutions, due to its availability, low-cost preparation, and good adsorption capacity
