Abstract
This study investigates the batch adsorption of eosin-B (EB) from wastewater onto the commercial anion exchange membrane (AEM) DF-120 at a temperature of 25 °C. The detailed influence of various operational factors on the percentage removal of EB is outlined. The EB removal percentage from wastewater demonstrates an increase with the mass of AEM DF-120 and contact duration. At the same time, the percentage removal of it decreases with the rise in temperature and concentration. Results from the adsorption kinetics studies reveals that EB adsorption conforms to pseudo second order (PSO) model, having a correlation coefficient (R2) value of 0.999. The adsorption isotherm analysis indicates that EB adsorption aligns with the Langmuir isotherm as the value of R2 approaches unity. Furthermore, the measured mean adsorption energy (E = 0.68 KJmol−1) suggests that this is a physical adsorption process. Thermodynamic assessments of adsorption reveal its exothermic nature, supported by the value of enthalpy (ΔH° = −56.09 KJ mol−1). Additionally, Gibb’s free energy (ΔG°) value signifies that the process is feasible. The regeneration of the commercial AEM DF-120B was also revealed.
