“…The main reflections of kaolinite were at 2θ = 12.36º, 19.94º, 24.90º, 35.98º, 38.46º, 45.66º, 55.12º and 62.34º, which is matched with the JCPDS database file (PDF-01-089-6538). These findings are consistent with other previously reported works 54,55 . Therefore, the sample showed a predominant phase as kaolinite, and also, quartz as minor impurity .…”
This study investigated the potential of Brazilian kaolin as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Malachite Green (MG) from colored effluents. The morphology, chemical structure and surface properties of the adsorbent were investigated by characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and particle size distribution. A possible technological application of raw kaolin is the MG removal from aqueous media, which was investigated using batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption kinetics was studied using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and Elovich models. The adsorption isotherms were studied using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips models. The Elovich model was the more adequate to represent the adsorption kinetic, while the equilibrium was well represented by the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity, at pH of 6.3 and temperature of 25ºC, was 128 mg g -1 , and this satisfactory result may be associated with some adsorbent properties. Therefore, the results revealed that raw kaolin can be utilized as a promising low-cost adsorbent to remove MG from colored effluents.

“…After the critical dose of (1.5 g/100 mL) the extent of adsorption decreased. This phenomenon was also confirmed by Nandi et al (2009). The increase in the colour removal is because, at higher carbon dosage, there is a very fast superficial adsorption on the carbon surface that produces a lower solute concentration in the solution than when carbon dose is lower.…”
Section: Effect Of Adsorbent Dosage On Adsorption Kineticssupporting
AB S TRAC T:Adsorption kinetic and equilibrium studies of two reactive dyes, namely, Reactive Red 31 and Reactive Red 2 were conducted. The equilibrium studies were conducted for various operational parameters such as initial dye concentration, pH, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage and temperature. The initial dye concentration was varied from 10 -60 mg/L, pH from 2 -11, agitation speed from 100-140 rpm, adsorbent dosage from 0.5 g to 2.5 g and temperature from 30 o C -50 o C respectively. The activated carbon of particle size 600 µm was developed from preliminary tannery sludge. The dye removal capacity of the two reactive red dyes decreased with increasing pH. The zero point charge for the sludge carbon was 9.0 and 7.0 for the two dyes, respectively. Batch kinetic data investigations on the removal of reactive dyes using tannery sludge activated carbon have been well described by the lagergren plots. It was suggested that the Pseudo second order adsorption mechanism was predominant for the sorption of the reactive dyes onto the tannery sludge based carbon. Thus, the adsorption phenomenon was suggested as a chemical process. The adsorption data fitted well with Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity(q 0 ) from Langmuir isotherm were found to have increased in the range of 23.15-39.37 mg/g and 47.62-55.87 mg/g for reactive dyes reactive red 31 and reactive red 2, respectively.
The main objective of this research is to study the adsorption behaviour of malachite green and methylene blue dyes onto the surfactant modified natural clays. The results of SEM, XRD, IR, and thermal analysis confirms the intercalation of organic moiety in to the clay. The adsorption results show that pseudo-first order kinetics best fitted for both the dyes adsorbed on organo-clay. The data also reveals that both dyes are in a good agreement with Langmuir isotherm in both types of modified clays. The value of separation factor, R L , from Langmuir equation and Freundlich constant, n, give an indication of favourable adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity q m based on Langmuir model was found to be 294-303 mg/g at 25 °C, is in good agreement with the experimental values.
