Expermental investigation on adsorption of methylene blue dye from waste water using corncob cellulose-based hydrogel
Abstract
Hydrogel from corncob cellulose was synthesized in this investigation. The synthesized Hydrogel was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FTIR instruments. As the results indicate the synthesized hydrogel has required and important features, these suggest the suitability of hydrogel for the adsorption of methylene blue dye (MBD). Three important process variables (dosage, contact time, and initial concentration) with three levels were studied during the adsorption process at 30 °C and neutral pH. The efficiency of hydrogel for adsorption of MBD was determined in each experiment. The experimental results were statistically analyzed and interpreted. The maximum removal efficiency was achieved at 2.22 g/L of dosage, 80.36 min of contact time, and 74.54 mg/L of initial concentration. At this condition, 98.25% of MBD was achieved through experimental tests. Kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics studies were performed. Langmuir isotherm is more suitable to describe the adsorption process and the Pseudo second-order kinetic model fits this process. From the thermodynamics studies, all negative values of change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), and positive value of change in enthalpy (ΔH°), and change in entropy (ΔS°) indicate that the carried out experimental process is a spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, the regeneration experiment for adsorbent was performed. The treatment of real textile industry waste water was conducted and the removal efficiency of hydrogel was 64.76%. This removal percentage reduction from sythetic aqueous solution is due to involvement of other pollutants in the real waste water. The synthesized hydrogel adsorbent is suitable up to the third cycle without significant loss in removal efficiency.
