Abstract
In this work, a zwitterion adsorbent which consists of crosslinked chitosan-benzil/algae/coal fly ash (CS-BZ/Alg/FA) was developed for the removal of two structurally different anionic dye (remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR)) and a cationic dye (thionine (THN)). The physicochemical characteristics of CS-BZ/Alg/FA were investigated by several analytical techniques including specific surface area, XRD, FTIR, FESEM and EDX analyses. Moreover, response surface methodology and Box–Behnken design (RSM–BBD) was adopted as a statistical tool to optimize the adsorption operational parameters for THN and RBBR dyes removal. Thus, the optimal adsorption conditions were determined as follows: CS-BZ/Alg/FA dose of 0.1 g/100 mL, solution pH 10 for THN, and solution pH 4 for RBBR. Adsorption equilibrium isotherm data for RBBR and THN dyes by CS-BZ/Alg/FA were well described by Freundlich (multilayer adsorption) and Langmuir (monolayer adsorption) isotherm models respectively. Thus, the maximum adsorption capacities of CS-BZ/Alg/FA towards THN and RBBR were found to be 69.0 mg/g and 259.9 mg/g, respectively at 25 °C. Moreover, the pseudo second order model accurately represents the kinetic data for the adsorption of both THN and RBBR dyes. The adsorption thermodynamic functions indicate the adsorption process of THN and RBBR was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Ultimately, this research presents the CS-BZ/Alg/FA as an eco-friendly amphoteric adsorbent with preferable capability for capturing anionic and cationic dyes from aqueous environment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
