    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

    Removal of brilliant green (BG) by activated carbon derived from medlar nucleus (ACMN) – Kinetic, isotherms and thermodynamic aspects of adsorption
    (SAGE, 2020) Abbas, Moussa
    Experimental investigations were undertaken to adsorb Brilliant Green (BG) a toxic dye from aqueous medium using activated carbon derived from the medlar nucleus (ACMN). The adsorp- tion was used to remove BG using ACMN as bio-adsorbent to replace activated carbon still expensive. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by the BET surface area measurement, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Various parameters such as the initial dye concentration (110–200 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1–6 mg/L), initial pH (2–9) and temperature (298–318 K) were studied to observe their effects on the BG adsorption. Batch studies were conducted in order to determine the optimal parameters required to reach the adsorption equilibrium. The maximum adsorption capacity of ACMN for the BG adsorption at 298 K was found to be 833.15 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic data were analyzed by using several kinetic models namely the pseudo-first- order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich equation, intraparticules diffusion model. It was established that the adsorption obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The evaluation of thermo- dynamics parameters such as the free energy D G ( 10.584 to 6.413 kJ/mol), enthalpy D H (36.439 kJ/mol) and the change of entropy (0.1438 kJ/mol K) indicated a spontaneous and endo- thermic nature of the reaction with a chemisorption process. The present adsorbent may be considered as an alternative for the better performance of the BG removal from aqueous medium.

    Adsorption of malachite green (MG) onto apricot stone activated Carbon (ASAC)-Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
    (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

    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

    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
