The < 25 µm fraction of natural clay containing kaolinite, chlorite, illite and illite/smectite mixed layered clay minerals was characterized and used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of Rhodamine B (RB) dye from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were carried out in batch mode by varying the following parameters: pH, temperature, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage and time of contact. The equilibrium data were well fitted by both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 4.77 mg/g, which was better than the value reported for kaolinite (1.95 mg/g). The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Negative ∆G 0 values indicated that adsorption onto this clay was a spontaneous process. A maximum dye uptake of > 90% was achieved at 313 K employing an initial dye concentration of 4.8 × 10-6 M, a pH value of 2 and an adsorbent dosage of 1 g/ .

The current study investigates the potential use of Algerian clay as an adsorbent for the elimination of Crystal Violet (CV) dye. Mchouneche Clay (MC) has been introduced as a lowcost biosorbent for batch manner removal of CV. Essential criteria were examined to determine the optimal conditions. In addition, several kinetic and isothermal models were fitted with experimentally obtained data. The uptake of CV correlated with the initial pH, due to the ionic nature of CV and the mineral surface of MC. Indeed, the adsorption behavior was found to depend on the initial concentration of CV as the number of collisions increased. The analytical study revealed that Pseudo-Second Order (PSO) is the most suitable fitting model. The isothermal study has also shown that the results are consistent with the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic investigation has shown that the adsorption phenomenon is feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic.

Presence of dye molecules in water causes various harmful effects for both human and aquatic species. Herein, we tried to remove two cationic dyes, namely Crystal violet and Brilliant green, from water by kaolinite clay mineral. The kaolinite clay mineral is further treated with 0.25 M and 0.05 M H 2 SO 4 to increase its adsorption capacity. The structural changes due to acid treatment were analyzed by XRD, zeta potential, FTIR, SEM, cation exchange capacity, BET surface area, and pore volume measurements. Kinetic data were analyzed by using five different kinetic models and the data fitted best to pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir isotherm showed best fit to the adsorption of both Crystal violet and Brilliant green. Acid-treatment has slightly increased the adsorption capacities for both the dyes. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of raw kaolinite was found to be 47.17 and 25.70 mg g −1 for Crystal violet and Brilliant green, respectively, which increased to 49.50 and 50.51 mg g −1 for 0.25 M and 0.50 M acid-treated kaolinite in case of Crystal violet and to 26.45 and 26.88 mg g −1 in case of Brilliant green at 303 K. Crystal violet adsorption was exothermic with increase in ∆G values, whereas Brilliant green adsorption was endothermic in nature with decrease in ∆G in the temperature range 293-323 K. Reusability study showed the adsorbents could be successfully used up to 3rd cycle without much loss of adsorption capacity.
In the study, montmorillonite was used as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. Batch studies were performed to address various experimental parameters like contact time, pH, temperature, stirring speed, ionic strength, adsorbent dosage and initial concentration for the removal of this dye. Adsorption rate increased with the increase in initial dye concentration, ionic strength, stirring speed, pH and temperature. Kinetic study showed that the adsorption of dye on montmorillonite was a gradual process. Quasi-equilibrium reached in 3 h. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, Bangham, mass transfer and intra-particle particle diffusion models were used to fit the experimental data. Pseudo-second-order rate equation was able to provide realistic description of adsorption kinetics. Intra-particle diffusion process was identified as the main mechanism controlling the rate of the dye sorption. The diffusion coefficient, D, was found to increase when the stirring speed, ionic strength and temperature were raised. Thermodynamic activation parameters such as ΔG*, ΔS* and ΔH* were also calculated.
Raw kaolinite was used as a precursor for several types of modified kaolinite. The modification processes included modification by sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate, CTAB, and sodium acetate. The structural, morphological, and chemical properties of raw kaolinite and the modified products were evaluated using XRD, SEM, TEM, and FT-IR analyses. The modified products were used as adsorbent materials for acidic Congo red dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorption processes were evaluated as a function of reaction time, initial dye concentration, and adsorbent masses. Phosphate-modified kaolinite achieved the best removal results followed by sulfate-modified kaolinite and kaolinite sample modified by CTAB. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption equilibrium was obtained after 360 min for the samples, which were modified by NaOH and CTAB, whereas the modified samples that were treated by phosphate, sulfate and, acetate achieve the equilibrium after 240 min. The adsorption by all the products is of chemical nature occurs through energetically heterogeneous surfaces and fitted well with pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium studies revealed that the adsorption using kaolinite modified by sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, and sodium sulfate occurs in monolayer form and represented well by Langmuir model. The estimated q max values are 136.98, 149.25, and 135.13 mg/g for the three products in order. The uptake using modified kaolinite by CTAB and sodium acetate shows more fitting with Tamkin and Freundlich isotherm models rather than with Langmuir model. Graphical Abstract Kaolinite sample was modified by organic and inorganic salts to enhance its adsorption properties. Modified kaolinite samples exhibit changes in the structural and morphological features. The modified samples showed high adsorption capacity than raw kaolinite. Highlights ● Kaolinite was modified by several inorganic and organic salts. ● Effect of modification and the structural and morphological features was investigated. ● The adsorption behavior of the modified products for Congo red dye was addressed. ● The change in the adsorption behavior was studied through kinetic and isotherm studies.
In this study, color removal by absorption from synthetically prepared wastewater was investigated using montmorillonite clay by adsorption. As dyestuff Astrazon Red Violet 3RN (Basic Violet 16) was used. Experimental parameters selected were pH, temperature, agitation speed, initial dyestuff concentration, adsorbent dosage and ionic strength. It was established that adsorption rate increased with increasing pH, temperature, dye concentration and agitation speed, but decreased with increased ionic strength and adsorbent dosage. Adsorption equilibrium data obtained by a series of experiments carried out in a water bath were employed with common isotherm equations such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Elovich and Dubinin–Radushkevich. It was found that the Langmuir equation appears to fit the equilibrium data better than the other models. Furthermore, the fit of the kinetic data to common kinetic models such as the pseudo-first-order, second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models was tested to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. Kinetic data conformed to the pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemisorptions. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters activation energy, Ea, enthalpy ΔH*, entropy, ΔS*, and free energy change, ΔG*, were calculated. The values of the calculated parameters indicated that physical adsorption of ARV on the clay was dominant and that the adsorption process was endothermic.
Adsorption kinetics of maxilon yellow 4GL and maxilon red GRL dyes on kaolinite
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
Kaolinite, a low-costly material, is the most abundant phyllosilicate mineral in highly weathered soils. In this work, the adsorption kinetics of maxilon yellow 4GL (MY 4GL) and maxilon red GRL (MR GRL) dyes on kaolinite from aqueous solutions was investigated using the parameters such as contact time, stirring speed, initial dye concentration, initial pH, ionic strength, acid-activation, calcination and solution temperature. The equilibrium time was 150 min for both dyes. The results showed that alkaline pH was favorable for the adsorption of MY 4GL and MR GRL dyes and physisorption seemed to play a major role in the adsorption process. It was found that the rate of adsorption decreases with increasing temperature and the process is exothermic. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order equation for both dyes investigated in this work with the k 2 values lying in the region of 1.79 × 10 4 to 107.87 × 10 4 g/mol min for MY 4GL and 3.44 × 10 4 to 72.09 × 10 4 g/mol min for MR GRL. The diffusion coefficient values calculated for the dyes were in the range of 3.76 × 10 −9 to 62.50 × 10 −9 cm 2 /s for MY 4GL and 1.98 × 10 −9 to 44.00 × 10 −9 cm 2 /s for MR GRL, and are compatible with other studies reported in the literature. The thermodynamic activation parameters such as the enthalpy, entropy and free energy were determined. The obtained results confirmed the applicability of this clay as an efficient adsorbent for cationic dyes.

Inexpensive and easily available Moroccan natural clays were investigated for the removal availability of textile dyes from aqueous solution. For this purpose, the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as reference molecule, malachite green (MG) representative of cationic dyes and methyl orange (MO) representative of anionic dyes, was studied in batch mode under various parameters. The clays were characterized by means of XRD, cationic exchange capacity and BET surface area analysis. The experimental results show that, the adsorption was pH dependent with a high adsorption capacity of MB and MG in basic range and high adsorption of MO in acidic range. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data for the adsorption of MB and MG by the clays. However, the adsorption of MO was more suitable to be controlled by an intra-particle diffusion mechanism. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. The adsorption process was found to be exothermic in nature in the case of MB and MO. However, the adsorption of MG was endothermic.

Clays, particularly kaolinite, are promising adsorbents for the treatment of textile effluents, but there is a need of better understanding the mechanisms of adsorption, especially in the case of anionic dyes. Thus, the removal of RR120 anionic dye was investigated using Tunisian raw clay (TBK) composed of kaolinite and illite, and a standard kaolinite (KGa-2), and conducting batch experiments by varying different parameters (contact time, ionic strength, concentration, temperature). We investigated the clays' surface charges by electrophoretic mobility measures and the dye-clay interactions during adsorption, by the streaming-induced potentials (SIP). The results showed that KGa-2 has higher adsorption capacity for RR120 dye than TBK clay, moreover enhanced by increasing the ionic strength and/or lowering the pH of the aqueous. The SIP results showed an increase of negative charges for both clays, reflecting the adsorption of the anionic dye on the positive charges of the amphoteric surfaces of the clays. The SIP magnitudes indicated a higher adsorption rate for KGa-2 in accordance with the kinetic study. The Sips model that described the best adsorption isotherms indicates lateral interactions of the dye molecules, stronger in the case of KGa-2 than TBK. Also, the dye molecules form a thinner layer on KGa-2 surfaces. In addition, the dye molecule's structure was not altered, as verified by mass spectrometry. The adsorption process was feasible and spontaneous and favored at ambient temperature. Thus, kaolinite-rich clays are effective in the removal of anionic dyes in aqueous solution and potential good adsorbents in wastewater treatment.
