Investigation of the sorption characteristics of water lettuce (WL) as a potential low-cost biosorbent for the removal of methyl violet 2B

Abstract: A B S T R A C TPistia stratiotes L. (water lettuce or WL) was investigated for its potential as an effective low-cost biosorbent for the removal of methyl violet 2B (MV). Equilibrium isotherm for the adsorption of MV, fitted using six different isotherm models followed by error analyses, indicates that the maximum biosorption capacity (q max ) is 0.68 mmol g −1 (267.6 mg g −1 ) and that both the Langmuir and Sips isotherm models lead to good correlation with experimental data. Investigation on effects of pH, i… Show more

“…The Redlich–Peterson and Sips adsorption isotherm models are three-parameters models which combine both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. , The Redlich–Peterson isotherm can be applied on homogeneous or heterogeneous adsorption processes . The Sips isotherm is used to predict the adsorption over the heterogeneous surface and explained the adsorption energy distribution on the surface of the adsorbent Figures S10d–f and 11a,b show the fitting adsorption isotherms models, and the outcomes of these isotherms are tabulated in Table .…”

“…53 The Sips isotherm is used to predict the adsorption over the heterogeneous surface and explained the adsorption energy distribution on the surface of the adsorbent. 54 Figures S10d−f and 11a,b show the fitting adsorption isotherms models, and the outcomes of these isotherms are tabulated in Table 2. The experimental data was most likely matched with the Langmuir model, with a higher regression coefficient value (0.9902), and the maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 398.40 mg/g.…”

“…It is difficult to give a direct answer since each sorbent has its specific characteristics which influence its behavior in wastewater treatment. Their sorption capacities can also vary with changes in experimental conditions, making it difficult to compare their sorption performance …”

“…They proposed many unconventional sorbents derived from materials of natural origin as well as industrial and agricultural products . Among reported sorbents were clays (kaolinite, bentonite), zeolites, other inorganic materials (alunite, silica beads, perlite), as well as agricultural waste (maize cob, bagasse pith, coconut shell, rice husk), biosorbents (peat, chitosan, biomass), industrial waste products (metal hydroxide sludge, waste carbon slurries), and others (starch, cotton, and cyclodextrin) . All of these sorbents deserve special attention because they could reduce the costs of effluent treatment and waste recovery.…”

“…Low-cost adsorbents require little processing and found abundantly in nature. The various low cost adsorbents have been investigated by researchers like agricultural waste, 4 banana peel, 5 Ficus carica, 6 apple peels, 7 apricot stone, 8 bagasse fly ash, 9 peat, 10 abundant weeds, 11 walnut shell, 12 soya waste, 13 hen feather, 14 oil palm midrib, 15 sugarcane baggase, 16 Typha angustifolia, 17 natural zeolites, 18 sewage sludge, 19 etc. The objective of the present work is to study the adsorption of congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) on dead biomass of weeds Parthenium hysterophorus and Saccharum munja.…”
