    Thermodynamic and kinetics studies on adsorption of Indigo Carmine from aqueous solution by activated carbon
    (Elsevier, 2019) Harrache, Zahia; Abbas, Moussa; Aksil, Tounsia; Trarib, Mohamed
    The kinetic and equilibrium parameters of the quantitative adsorption for Indigo Carmine (IC) removed by commercial activated carbon (AC) were studied by UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. AC with a high specific surface area (1250.320 m2/g) was characterized by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method and point of zero charge (pzc). The effect of the initial dye concentration (10–60 mg/L), contact time (0–90 min), pH (1−12), agitation speed (0–600 rpm), adsorbent dose (1–10 g/L) and temperature (298–323 K) were determined to find the optimal conditions for a maximum adsorption. The adsorption mechanism of Indigo Carmine onto AC was studied using the first pseudo order, second pseudo order and Elovich kinetics models. The adsorptions kinetic were found to follow a pseudo second order kinetic model with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.999. To get an idea on the adsorption mechanism, we applied the Webber-Morris diffusion model. The equilibrium adsorption data for Indigo Carmine on AC were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, Dubinin and Temkin models. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation at 25 °C (qmax = 79.49 mg/g) and Dubinin at 40 °C (qmax = 298.34 mg/g). The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (ΔG° = −0.071 to −1.050 kJ/mol), enthalpy (ΔH° = 28.11 kJ/mol), entropy (ΔS° = 0.093 kJ/mol·K) and activation energy (Ea) of 51.06 kJ/mol of adsorption. The negative ΔG° and positive ΔH° values indicate that the overall adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic.

    Removal of toxic methyl green (Mg) in aqueous solutions by apricot stone activated carbon – equilibrium and isotherms modeling
    (Taylor & Francis, 2018) Abbas, Moussa; Aksil, Tounsia; Trari, Mohamed
    Apricot stone activated carbon (ASAC), was powdered, activated and to be used as effective adsor-bent to remove the dyes from aqueous solutions through batch experiments under operational factors namely, pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dyes concentration and temperature. The physico-chemical, morphological and structural properties of the adsorbents were characterized by scan-ning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) instruments. Different kinetic modelsindicated that the adsorption is well described by the pseudo-second order model. The isotherms of methyl green (MG) adsorption on ASAC were obtained and correlated with various models. The smaller RMSE values for the Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevic models indicated the best fitting; the mono layer adsorption capacity of MG was found to be 148.478 mg g–1 at 21°C and 88.11 mg g–1 at 46°C at pH 10. The thermodynamic functions showed spontaneous and endothermic MG adsorption. In conclusion, the adsorbent prepared from apricot stone (ASAC) was found to very effective and suitable adsorbent for reactive dyes removal from aquatic environment, due to its simple and cheap preparation, easy availability and good adsorption capacity.
