Abstract
AbstractThe kinetics and equilibrium of Indanthrene Olive Green (IOG) adsorption on chitosan, from aqueous solutions, have been investigated. The chitosan was characterized by XRD, average degree of deacetylation (DD), TGA/DTG, IR, SEM and specific BET surface area. Batch adsorptions experiments were carried out in different pH and dye concentration. An acidic pH condition (4.0 to 6.0) was favorable to the adsorption process. The adsorption followed secondorder rate kinetics and the experimental equilibrium data followed Langmuir isotherm, suggesting that chemisorption might be the major adsorption mode. The adsorptions also occurred on chitosan fibers, being significantly lower than that of crushed chitosan. Thermodynamic parameters ( ΔG°, ΔH°, and S°) were calculated. The positive values of ΔH° (161.7 kJ mol-1) and S° (559.9 J mol-1 K-1) suggest that the adsorption is endothermic and that during this adsorption process the randomness of the system increases. A simplified adsorption model is also proposed.
