Abstract
Taking the thiazide cationic dye methylene blue (MB), triphenylmethane cationic dye crystal violet (CV), monoazo cationic dye cationic red 46 (R-46), and polycarboxycyanine cationic dye cationic rosé FG (P-FG) as the research objects, the adsorption behaviors of a self-made corn straw modified adsorbent HQ-DTPA-I for the dyes were investigated in depth. Under optimized conditions, HQ-DTPA-I can quickly adsorb most dyes within 3 min and reach equilibrium adsorption in 15–20 min. The removal rates of HQ-DTPA-I to MB, CV, R-46 and AP-FG can reach 95.28 %, 99.78 %, 99.28 % and 98.53 %, respectively. It also has good anti-interference ability for common ions present in most actual dye wastewater. For six consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption performance of HQ-DTPA-I can still reach 80.17 %, 81.61 %, 90.77 % and 83.48 % of the initial adsorption capacity, indicating good recovery performance. Based on Gaussian density functional theory to calculate its surface potential energy, it is found that the adsorption mechanism of HQ-DTPA-I for the cationic dyes is mainly due to the electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl groups in ligand DTPA and amino groups in dye molecules.
