    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.

    Short-term laboratory adsorption of zinc and cadmium ions from aqueous solutions to ground canna indica roots
    (Springer Nature, 2023) Ghezali, Katia; Abdelwaheb, Mohamed; Nedeff, Valentin; Moşneguţu, Emilian Florin; Guettaf, N.; Bârsan, Narcis
    The current work presents the competitive removal of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) ions by adsorption using the roots of the Canna indica plant in order to study the metal-plant interactions at the microscopic scale that occur in constructed wetlands and phytoremediation processes. The sorption process was described in association with the data generated from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Kinetic variables and constants were calculated, optimized, and analyzed. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data and the sorption equilibrium was achieved in nearly 300 min. The equilibrium isotherms of zinc and cadmium were described using the nonlinear models of Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, and their multi-component equivalents. The dimensionless separation factor (R L) showed that the adsorption system in this study is favorable. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities were 71.20 and 298.6 μg g−1 for Zn2+ and Cd2+ respectively. The parameters of the metal adsorption isotherm fitted better to the extended Freundlich isotherm. This study reveals the association between surface properties and the biosorption capacity of heavy metals by plant roots on the one hand and the implication of the ion exchange mechanism through chemisorption on the uptake of Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions from aqueous solution by this adsorbent on the other hand.

    Copper, Zinc And Nickel’s Removal By Bentonite Clay: Case Study In Mono And Multicomponent Systems
    (Université M'Hamed Bougara Boumerdes, 2019) Hamdache, F.; Chergui, A.; Halet, Farid; Yeddou, A.R.
    The main purpose of this work is the Copper, Zinc and Nickel’s removal from mono and multi-metal ions aqueous solution using an Algerian bentonite without treatment. The bentonite is characterized using SEM, XRD and X-ray fluorescence. The effect of initial pH and contact time are studied. Under mono and multicomponent systems, the kinetic studies performed at pH 5, indicate that the adsorption follows a pseudo second order model. For both systems, the isotherm data are well correlated with Langmuir model. Whereas the maximum adsorption capacities follow the sequence’s order Cu > Zn > Ni. In the case of multicomponent system, the Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) adsorptions capacities (58.82, 19.53 and 6.56 mg/g) are lower than the obtained ones for the monocomponent system (58.48, 49.02 and 31.74 mg/g). In addition to that, a mutual competitive effect is observed. Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions adsorption is also inhibited by Cu(II) ions with no change in the maximum Cu(II) adsorption 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

    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.

    (Technology Publishing Group, 2022) Ouazene, Naima; Belhaneche-Bensemra, N.; Khelifi, A.; Benbatta, A.
    The adsorption behavior of the medicinal product, paracetamol, using commercial activated carbon in aqueous solution was investigated. In this work, the study of equilibrium, kinetics as well as the idenorder kinetics with R2 = 0.99 for the three studied concentrations. Two mathematical models were tested in order to determine the limiting step of the mass transfer of the paracetification of the mass transfer stages that occur in adsorption were carried out.It was found that the appropriate isotherm model for the equilibrium process was the Langmuir, and the monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 104.17mg.g-1 at 298 K. The result of the adsorption kinetics shows that the adsorption maximum was reached at 60 min and follows the linear form of the pseudo second tamol adsorption process onto activated carbon. The results showed that the adsorption process was governed by external diffusion

    (ALJEST, 2018) Sifoun, Naima; Abbas, Moussa; Yeddou, A. R.; Nouri, L.; Nadjemi, B.
    In the present study, adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated using an adsorbent derived from Trimming Wood of Orange Tree (WOT). The used adsorbent was analyzed using FT-IR and SEM techniques.The adsorption of MB was carried out using a batch system and the effects of adsorbent dose, initial pH, ionic strength, contact time, initial concentration and temperature on the adsorption capacity of adsorbent were investigated. Kinetic parameters, rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and determination coefficients, for each kinetic equation were calculated and discussed. It was shown that the adsorption of MB onto WOT could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models. Adsorption of MB onto WOT followed the Langmuir isotherm for all temperatures studied and the maximum MB uptake was observed as 48.78 mg/g at 293 K. The evaluation of thermodynamics parameters such as the negative Gibbsfree energy and negative enthalpy change indicated respectively the spontaneous and exothermic nature of thesorptionprocess

    Adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions using algerian pinus halepensis tannin foam
    (Polymer Society of Korea, 2020) Hamadi, Zeyneb; Hamadi, Zeyneb; Kebir, Mohammed; Amirou, Siham; Essawy, Hisham; Pizzi, Antonio
    In this study, new adsorbent tannin foam was prepared from Algerian natural pinus halepensis tannin (APTF). The prepared material has been used as an efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent to remove chromium (Cr(VI)), which is considered as the most toxic pollutant in wastewater. The different features of the adsorbent in terms of the structural and morphological characteristics were studied. The impact of different factors on the adsorption process, such as pH, adsorbent mass, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and temperature, was investigated. The data obtained from the Cr(VI) adsorption revealed an improvement of the removal efficiency with increasing the adsorbent dose, the pH had a notable effect on Cr(VI) adsorption capacity, whereas the effectiveness decreased by rising the initial metal concentration. In addition, it was observed that adsorption efficiency enhanced with increasing temperature, indicating that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous in nature. Moreover, the results were best represented by the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model (qm = 400 mg·g-1) at 293 °K and pH ~2

    Removal of gentian violet in aqueous solution by activated carbon equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic study
    (SAGE Publications, 2019) Abbas, Moussa; Harrache, Zahia; Trari, Mohamed
    The quantitative kinetic and equilibrium adsorption parameters for chlorure de méthylrosaniline (gentian violet, crystal violet) removed by commercial activated carbon were studied by UV–visible spectroscopy.Activated carbon with a high specific surface area 1250 m2/g was characterized by the Brunauer, Emmett et Teller (BET) method and the zero charge point pH (pzc). The adsorption properties of both activated carbon with gentian violet were conducted at variable stirring speed 100–700 trs/min, adsorbent dose 1–8 g/l, solution pH 1–14, initial gentian violet concentration 5–15 mg/l, contact time 0–50 min, and temperature 299–323 K using batch mode operation to find the optimal conditions for a maximum adsorption. The adsorption mechanism of gentian violet was studied using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich kinetic models. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.999. The Weber–Morris diffusion model was applied for the adsorption mechanism. The equilibrium adsorption data of gentian violet were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, and Temkin models. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation (qmax = 22.727, 32.258 mg/g at 26 and 40°C, respectively). The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters, i.e. free energy (ΔG° = − 2.30 to −5.34 kJ/mol), enthalpy (ΔH° = 36.966 kJ/mol), entropy (ΔS° = 0.131 kJ/mol K), and activation energy (Ea) 40.208 kJ/mol of gentian violet adsorption. The negative ΔG° and positive ΔH° indicate that the overall adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic in nature
