Kinetic Isotherm and Thermodynamic Modelling of Methylene Blue Adsorption Using Green Tea-Based Biosorbents
Keywords:
Mehtylene Blue, Biosorption, Isotherm, Kinetic, ThermodynamicAbstract
The current research investigated how effectively two biosorbent materials made from green tea; dry powdered material (DPM) and charcoal powdered material (CPM), removed the color methylene blue from aqueous solutions. Various experimental parameters were examined, including the pH, temperature, initial dye concentration of the dye solution, amount of adsorbent, and contact time. The results demonstrated that the maximum adsorption effectiveness for both DPM and CPM occurred at pH 10. The adsorption equilibrium was rapidly attained for DPM and CPM, taking 10 and 15 minutes, respectively. The adsorption data was fitted with four isotherm models: Dubinin-Kaganer-Radushkevich (D-R) model, Freundlich, Temkin, and Langmuir models. The best correlation was found in Langmuir model (R2 = 0.996 & 0.991). Maximum adsorption capacity values of 15.58 mg/g for DPM and 18.66 mg/g for CPM were found using the Langmuir equation. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. The results showed that the thermodynamic parameters for DPM were 24.40 kJ/mol, 92.93 J/mol.K, and -3.31 kJ/mol, and for CPM they were 4.07 kJ/mol, 13.34 J/mol.K, and 0.20 kJ/mol. Gibbs free energy (ΔGo), entropy (ΔSo), and enthalpy (ΔHo) were among these numbers. These findings imply that the adsorption is a spontaneous, endothermic process. The study demonstrates the efficient way in which dyes from wastewater can be eliminated by using biosorbents made from green tea.
