Bimodal meso/macro-porous silica microspheres (MSM) were synthesized by a modified sot-emulsiongel method and then the surface was coated with polydopamine (PDA) nano-particles of 39 nm in size. Focusing on the encouraging properties of the synthesized adsorbent, such as high specific surface area (612.3 m(2) g(-1), because of mesopores), fast mass transfer (0.9-2.67 x 10(-3) mL min(-1) mg, because of macropores), and abundant adhesive functional groups of PDA, it was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution in a fixed-bed column. The effect of different parameters such as pH, initial concentration, and flow rate was studied. The results revealed that an appropriate sorption condition is an alkaline solution of MB (e.g., pH 10) at low flow rate (less than 5 mL min(-1)). Furthermore, the compatibility of the experimental data with mathematical models such as Thomas and Adams-Bohart was investigated. Both of the models showed a good agreement with the experimental data (R-2 = 0.9954-0.9994), and could be applied for the prediction of the column properties and breakthrough curves. Regeneration of the column was performed by using HCl solution with a concentration of 0.1 M as an eluent. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
