Abstract
This study aims to remove an anionic dye, namely Bemacid Blue (BB), from an aqueous solution using an aluminosilicate adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized using XRD, SEM, Zeta potential, and BET analysis. The results show that BET analysis resulted in a significant increase in specific surface area (from 15.84 to 101.6 m2 g−1). Following the isoelectric point determination, zeta potential analysis revealed electrostatic interactions. The experimental results show that optimal adsorption occurs at a pH of 6.1 after 120 min of contact at 55 °C, with an adsorption capacity of 202.75 mg g−1, allowing for the treatment of solutions containing up to 800 mg L−1 of pollutant. The pseudo-second order and Elovich models had the highest correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.999), indicating complex adsorption mechanisms. Adsorption isotherms fit the Langmuir–Freundlich model of heterogeneous adsorption. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed good adsorption, with pores filled after adsorption. The use of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) revealed that adsorption mechanisms included hydrogen bonding, ion exchange, and hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Finally, material regeneration tests resulted in 60% desorption after five successful cycles. This study demonstrates the effectiveness and stability of this aluminosilicate in adsorption and regeneration processes, paving the way for potential applications in the treatment of highly polluted industrial effluents containing anionic toxic contaminants.
