Improved removal of methyl orange dye by adsorption using modified clay: Combined experimental study using surface response methodology

Brahim Abbou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of organoclay, derived from the modification of raw clay with Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) surfactant, as an adsorbent to remove anionic dye methyl orange (MO) from synthetic aqueous solutions. Physicochemical properties of raw clay and modified clay are characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box Benhken design is employed to evaluate the interaction between three independent variables (pollutant concentration, adsorbent mass, and dye solution pH). Results show that the removal efficiency of MO is dependent on pH and dose of the composite, with maximum adsorption (99%) achieved under optimal conditions of 0.5 g adsorbent dose, 60 min reaction time, and pH 6. The Langmuir isotherm model accurately describes the adsorption process, with a maximum uptake of 15.58 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics follow the pseudo-second order model. The composite can be reused for 5 cycles without significant loss of adsorbent activity.

Selective/simultaneous batch adsorption of binary textile dyes using amorphous perlite powder: aspects of central composite design optimization and mechanisms

Wafa Sassi et al.

Summary: Selective/simultaneous adsorption of Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) has been effectively achieved using amorphous perlite. Optimum conditions of 38 min contact time, 96 mg/L dye concentration, and 312 degrees K temperature resulted in high adsorption yields of 82.22% for CR and 96.65% for MB. The adsorption process was found to occur through intradiffusional mass transport onto the porous material. Thermodynamic parameters indicated an endothermic/spontaneous physisorption process. SEM-EDS characterization revealed the surface adsorption process, while FTIR analysis showed disruption of compound order and decreased crystallinity of the adsorbent after adsorption. Application of these conditions to real industrial wastewater demonstrated simultaneous adsorption at neutral pH and 312 degrees K, with selective adsorption of CR at pH 4 and MB at pH 9.
