This work evaluatedncaffeine adsorption using the thermally modified bentonite Verde-lodonas adsorbent. The effects of flow operating rate and inlet caffeinenconcentration have been investigated through breakthrough curves.nMass transfer and efficiency parameters were calculated for each operatingncondition. The results obtained at 1 mL·min<sup>–1</sup> and 0.2 mmol·L<sup>–1</sup> showed a breakthrough timenof over 150 h and a removal percentage of approximately 100% untilnbreakthrough. The highest breakthrough and saturation adsorption capacitiesnwere 0.122 and 0.219 mmol·g<sup>–1</sup>, respectively,nfor the operating condition of 1 mL·min<sup>–1</sup> andn1.0 mmol·L<sup>–1</sup>. The breakthrough curves werenremarkably described (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> > 0.975) bynThomas,nYoon, and Nelson, and modified dose–response models. Moreover,nthermal, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy,nand scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed in ordernto compare the calcined Verde-lodo clay before and after caffeinenadsorption, and they indicated the presence of the compound in thenadsorbent.","PeriodicalId":522309,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147894985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
