Abstract
This paper deals with the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solutions by a poly(propylene imine) dendrimer (PPI) as a polymeric nanoarchitecture in single and binary (mixture of dyes) systems. Direct Blue 78 (DB78) and Acid Black 26 (AB26) were used as model dyes. The effects of operational parameters such as dendrimer concentration, contact time, dye concentration, inorganic anions (salts), and pH have been studied on dye removal. Adsorption isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin models), adsorption kinetics (pseudofirst order, pseudosecond order, and intraparticle diffusion), and dye desorption were studied in single and binary dye systems. It was found that the isotherm data of DB78 and AB26 in single and binary systems of dyes followed the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetics of dyes in single and binary dye systems were found to conform to a pseudosecond order model. Desorption tests showed that the maximum dye releases of 93 % for DB78 and 86 % for AB26 in a single system and 90 % for DB7...
