Effect of Temperature on Methylene Blue Sorption from Aqueous Solutions by Almond Peel: Experimental Studies and Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present work, the influence of temperature on kinetics and equilibrium of methylene blue sorption from synthetic aqueous solutions, in single dye solutions, using almond peel as a sorbent material has been investigated in batch conditions. Temperature played an important part in sorption phenomenon: the methylene blue sorption increased as temperature increased. The pseudo second-order model was selected to describe the experimental data of methylene blue sorption kinetics. The results showed that the process follows pseudo second–order kinetics. Equilibrium data were mathematically fitted to Langmuir equation which gave an acceptable fit over the whole equilibrium dye concentrations range. A high dye sorption was observed by this sorbent material: a maximum sorption capacity about 77 118 mg/g was achieved depending on temperature tested. The thermodynamic parameters obtained with this system, indicated spontaneous and endothermic process. Under these experimental conditions, the analysis of mechanistic steps involved in the sorption process confirms that methylene blue sorption process is particle-diffusioncontrolled, with some predominance of some external mass transfer at the initial stages.
