Abstract
The adsorption of methyl orange onto ultrafine coal powder (UCP) and modified ultrafine coal powder (MUCP) from aqueous solutions were studied, in which the influence of contact time, dosage, temperature, pH, and methyl orange concentration in the solution were investigated. The adsorption kinetics of methyl orange by UCP and MUCP can be described by the Lagergren first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models, respectively. The adsorption isotherms of methyl orange onto MUCP at 303, 313 and 323 K follow the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equation. Values of Δ G 0 for methyl orange adsorption onto MUCP are −22.55, −23.10 and −23.79 kJ·mol −1 at 303, 313, and 323 K, respectively. The values of Δ H 0 and Δ S 0 are −3.74 kJ·mol −1 and 61.99 J·mol −1, respectively. The adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic.
