Abstract |
Continuous release of synthetic dyes from industrial effluent into surface water poses a huge
environmental threat and health hazard to humans and aquatic life. The need to right the wrong occasioned by the
inimical industrial practice of uncontrolled release of carcinogenic dyes into the surface water calls for research into
effective treatment technologies for the treatment of dye-contaminated industrial effluent. The isotherm of Crystal
Violet (CV) solution on activated carbon (AC) synthesized from millet stover was investigated and presented herein.
Samples of AC were synthesized from millet stover at 120⁰C using phosphoric acid as the activating agent. Employing
varying mix ratios of stover-to-phosphoric acid (1:0, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4), respective samples of AC were synthesized.
The batch adsorption process of the various samples of the AC in 15 mg/l initial concentration of an aqueous solution
of CV was carried out at varying times. The CV’s change in the sorbate’s concentration was monitored using a UV
spectrophotometer. The optimum adsorption time was 240 min. The optimally synthesized activated carbon was the
1:2 sample having an equilibrium sorbent concentration of 0.74 mg/L and sorbate uptake of 95.1%. Langmuir,
Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were employed for the isotherm analysis. The R^2 values of the Langmuir,
Freundlich and Temkin models were 0.99, 0.90, and 0.94, respectively. The isotherm constants for the Langmuir,
Freundlich and Temkin models were –1.52 l/mg, –4.08, and 0.005 l/min, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model
best fitted the adsorption mechanism with a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity of 14.0 mg/g. |
