The efficiency of a potentially low-cost Luffa cylindrica as sorbent in removing cationic surfactant (CS) by adsorption process was evaluated in this study. 1-Cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) was used as a representative member of CS. Effect of process variables such as initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, solution pH, and adsorption temperature had been studied. The sorption data were analyzed by using Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation of experimental data. Sorption kinetic was also evaluated by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich rate equations and intraparticle diffusion models. It was inferred that sorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetic model better. Activation energy value of 34.09 kJ/mol is in the range of 5-40 kJ/mol, indicating physical sorption. FTIR was also conducted to confirm the sorption of 1-cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) onto L. cylindrica. (C) 2012 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.
