Adsorption of dyes using magnesium hydroxide-modified diatomite

Abstract: ab s t r ac tDiatomite and Mg(OH) 2 -modified diatomite (MMD) were employed as adsorbents for the removal of one cationic dye, Methylene Blue (MB), and two anionic dyes, Ramazol Golden Yellow (RGY) and Telon Blue (TB), from aqueous solution. Physical characteristics of the adsorbents were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-rays (EDX), pH value of isoelectric point of zeta potential (pH IEP ) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. The Mg(OH) 2 content of MMD was … Show more

“…This can be explained based on two reasons: (i) part of the ammonium was converted to the atmosphere in the form of NH 3(g) and (ii) according to the solubility product calculation, struvite, Mg(OH) 2(s) and MgCO 3(s) are the three possible precipitation species in this system. With a pH zpc of 12 for Mg(OH) 2(s) , Mg(OH) 2(s) surface is positively charged for pH < 12. Therefore, some of the PO 4 3− ions also were adsorbed on the surface of the Mg(OH) 2(s).…”

“…At equilibrium a relationship exists between the concentration of the species in solution, C , and the "concentration" of the same species in the adsorbed state X M (i.e., the amount of species adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent) [22]- [24]. The adsorption equilibrium relates X M to C .…”

“…According to the works of many researchers, the theory of adsorption interactions can be applied to describe the process of water treatment with mineral coagulants (Al-Qodah, 2000;Abdel-Fatah et al, 2015). The Langmuir isotherm equation, which reflects the sorption process in a wide range of their concentrations, was assumed as the main equation for describing the process of extraction of pollutants (Lin & Wang 2009;Ayari et al, 2008):…”
