Removal of cibacron blue 3G-A (CB) dye from aqueous solution using chemo-physically activated biochar from oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber
A novel biodegradable adsorbent called pyrolysed empty fruit bunch fibres (PEF) was prepared by chemo-physical activation of empty fruit bunch fibres (EFB) biochar for removal of cibacron blue 3G-A (CB) dye from aqueous solution. PEF was characterized using FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD and BET techniques. The...

description | A novel biodegradable adsorbent called pyrolysed empty fruit bunch fibres (PEF) was prepared by chemo-physical activation of empty fruit bunch fibres (EFB) biochar for removal of cibacron blue 3G-A (CB) dye from aqueous solution. PEF was characterized using FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD and BET techniques. The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated PEF’s surface area to be 362.84 m2g−1 and XRD attributed amorphous nature to PEF. After adsorption process, PEF has smoother surface morphology, increase in carbon by weight and shift in functional groups. The established adsorption optimum conditions were pH 10, 45 min contact time and 0.10 g/100 mL adsorbent dosage with 99.05% CB dye removal capacity at 343 K and initial dye concentration 100 mg/L. Desorption ratio >90% after seventh cycle of adsorption-desorption experiments confirmed high reusability (regeneration) of PEF. Pseudo second order kinetic and Freundlich were better fitted with kinetic and isotherm model respectively, while mechanism of adsorption was controlled by film diffusion (external mass transfer). Thermodynamic studied revealed ΔG, ΔS and ΔH to be −3.12 MJ/mol K, 9.11 kJ/mol K, 6.83 kJ/mol respectively at 343 K. The negative value of ΔG, positive values of ΔS and ΔH indicated spontaneity, feasibility and endothermic nature of CB dye adsorption from aqueous solution onto PEF. |
