This article investigates the adsorption of Basic Red 46 dye using activated carbon generated from cactus fruit peels. The adsorbent showed a good surface for pollutant uptake and achieved a maximum adsorption capacity of 806.38 mg g(-1). The Freundlich model best represented the equilibrium data, while the pseudo-second-order kinetic model described the adsorption kinetics. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The activated carbon was found to be regenerable up to four times, making it suitable for treating textile wastewaters.
This article investigates experimentally and theoretically the adsorption of Basic Red 46 cationic dye (BR46) using activated carbon generated from cactus fruit peels (ACCFP). The prepared adsorbent was characterized by different analytical tools showing a good surface for the uptake of pollutants. A maximum batch adsorption capacity of 806.38 mg g(-1) was achieved at optimal conditions. The Freundlich model best represented the equilibrium data, although the pseudo-second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption kinetics. The thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous (Delta G degrees < 0) and endothermic (Delta H degrees = 32.512 kJ mol(-1)). DFT descriptors were combined with COSMO-RS and AIM theory to provide a complete picture of the adsorbate/adsorbent system and its molecular interactions. Last, the ACCFP was regenerable up to four times, emphasizing the idea of using it as an adsorbent to treat textile wastewaters.
