Removal of cationic dye from aqueous solution using melon peel as nonconventional low-cost sorbent
Desalination and Water Treatment, 2013
The ability of melon peel (Cucumis melo L.) (MP) for the biosorption of methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye, from aqueous solutions was investigated. Biosorption isotherm and kinetics of MB by MP were studied through a number of batch sorption experiments. The influence of operating conditions such as initial dye concentration, biosorbent dose, initial pH, stirring speed, temperature, and ionic strength on the removal of MB was examined. Equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models. Experimental equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir isotherm with maximum monolayer sorption capacity of 333 mg g À1 . Biosorption kinetic obtained at different initial concentrations were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. The pseudosecond-order model fit the kinetic data well and was better than the pseudo-first-order equation. The results revealed that the MP has the potential to be used as a biosorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions.
Adsorptive removal of cationic and anionic dyes using graphene oxide

This paper presents the results of comparative study on the application of graphene oxide (GO) for the adsorptive removal of crystal violet (CV) and methyl orange (MO) in batch mode. GO, synthesised from graphite, was characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, point of zero charge (pHPZC) and ultra violet (UV) spectroscopy. Dispersion of GO in water revealed the conversion of hydrophobic graphite into hydrophilic. Performance with regard to adsorption of CV and MO on GO was evaluated at different values of the operational parameters such as contact time between GO and the dye molecules, dosage of GO, and initial concentration and pH of the dye solution. Uptake and percentage removal of the dyes increased with increase in contact time and adsorbent dosage, but declined with increase in initial concentration of the dye. Experimental data on the uptake of dye molecules by GO showed good fit with the Freundlich is...
Fast and Considerable Adsorption of Methylene Blue Dye onto Graphene Oxide
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
The quite efficient adsorption of methylene blue dye from an aqueous solution by graphene oxide was studied. The favorable electrostatic attraction is the main interaction between methylene blue and graphene oxide. As graphene oxide has the special nanostructural properties and negatively charged surface, the positively charged methylene blue molecules can be easily adsorbed on it. In the aqueous solution of methylene blue at 293 K, the adsorption data could be fitted by the Langmuir equation with a maximum adsorption amount of 1.939 mg/mg and a Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constant of 18.486 mL/mg. The adsorption amount increased with the increase of the solution pH (3–11), was not affected significantly by KCl under the examined condition and the adsorption process was exothermic in nature. The fast and considerable adsorption of graphene oxide could be regarded as a potential adsorbent for cationic dye removal in wastewater treatment process.

The synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, to be used as adsorbent for the removal of textile dyes from wastewater, was optimized by the modified Hummers method. The GO nanosheets produced were compared with commercial graphene and characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, specific surface area analysis, and zero-charge point (pHpcz). Both GO and graphene nanomaterials were originally used to adsorb two colored dyes (direct red 81 and Indosol SFGL direct blue), which are commonly disposed in textile industrial effluents. Adsorptive assays were performed to determine and compare the variables that most influence the process, such as pH and dye concentration. The mechanisms of adsorption are proposed based on the strong interactions between the graphene oxide (due to its high functionalization with hydroxyl and carboxylic groups) and the active functional groups of the dyes (according to its color) that, in general, overcome the weaker electrostatic forces between water /commercial graphene / dye systems.
Studies on Adsorption of Some Organic Dyes from Aqueous Solution onto Graphene Nanosheets
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering-international English Edition, 2015
Graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove Rhodamine B (RB) and Malachite Green (MG), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. Adsorption kinetics of RB and MG onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. Also the effects of parameters, including pH, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage were studied. The adsorption process was followed using UV-visible spectroscopy. The isotherm analysis indicated that Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms are suitable for RB and MG, respectively. Pseudo-first-and pseudo-second-order models were considered to evaluate rate parameters. The kinetic experimental results fitted well the pseudo-second-order model for the two dyes, with correlation coefficients being greater than 0.99. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption processes is spontaneous for both the dyes, and exothermic for RB and endothermic for MG.
Adsorption of Dyes Using Graphene Oxide-Based Nano-Adsorbent: A Review
Jurnal Presipitasi : Media Komunikasi dan Pengembangan Teknik Lingkungan
Graphene Oxide (GO) based adsorbents have attracted much attention from researchers because there have been many reports that they are effective for removing dyes from aqueous environments. That is because GO has good mechanical, electrical, optical and chemical properties, so graphene and its derivatives, such as graphene oxide, have been used in various applications in the field of environmental management. Modifying GO into nano size is an effort to improve its performance in removing dyes. This review uses a database from Science Direct, Google Scholar and Springer, which was screened using graphene oxide, pigments, adsorption and nano adsorbent. The performance of the nano adsorbent showed quite good results in the removal of dyes. The isotherm model suitable for adsorption varies between Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson isotherms. Pseudo-second-order (PSO) is the best model to explain the adsorption process kinetics. Nano-adsorbent modification can be reused at least ...

A nanocomposite of polyaniline/hexagonal mesoporous silica (PAN/HMS) was prepared and characterized by BET analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and FT-IR spectra. Batch adsorption results showed that PAN/HMS had high affinity to Hg 2? in aqueous solutions. Various factors affecting the adsorption capacity such as contact time, temperature, absorbent dosage, pH, and initial concentration of Hg 2? ions were investigated. The adsorption kinetics for the Hg 2? showed that the adsorption reached equilibrium within 8 min and adsorption rates followed the pseudo-second-order rate law, indicating chemical sorption as the rate-limiting step of the adsorption mechanism. Sorption of Hg 2? to PAN/HMS agreed well to the Langmuir adsorption model at different ionic strengths with the maximum adsorption capacity of 843 mg g-1 (I = 1000 mg L-1) at pH 10. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption of Hg 2? ions was spontaneous, exothermic processes with an increase of entropy. The recovery of the Hg 2? from the adsorbent was found to be more than 88 % using H 2 SO 4 (0.1 M), and the ability of the absorbent to be reused was investigated.
