Effective removal of anionic textile dyes using adsorbent synthesized from coffee waste

Abstract: Adsorption of Reactive Black 5 and Congo Red from aqueous solution by coffee waste modified with polyethylenimine was investigated. The removal percentages of both dyes increased with amount of polyethyleneimine in the modified adsorbent. Characterization revealed that polyethyleneimine modification improved the adsorbent surface chemistry, while slight improvement of adsorbent textural properties was also observed. The adsorbent’s excellent performance was demonstrated by high removal percentages towards the … Show more

“…This faster rate is significant in reactor design application for the practical treatment of industrial effluent. The abundant adsorption sites on the materials accounted for the fast CEB uptake at the initial stages 34 . These sites were saturated as time progresses leading to the equilibrium CEB uptake.…”

“…The increase of values from 289.91 to 354.82 mg g −1 in tested temperature range (25–55 °C) confirming the endothermic nature of the adsorption process [ 28 ]. An endothermic nature of the adsorption processes of dyes on various sorbents (including clays) has been previously reported in literature [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. A general explanation of the endothermic nature of dye adsorption is improving the mobility of dye molecules at higher temperatures, which leads to increased collision and binding of dye molecules to the adsorption sites [ 29 ].…”

“…[207] Spent coffee ground (SCG) is another potential waste that can be transformed into chemicals or incorporated into materials. SCG has proven its potential application as an adsorbent of cationic (toluidine blue and crystal violet) [208] and anionic (congo red, reactive blue 5) [209] dyes in aqueous solution. Cationic dyes are adsorbed via an exothermic adsorption process whilst anionic dyes are adsorbed endothermically.…”
