Removal of Astrazon yellow dye from aqueous solutions by sorption onto Stipa tenacissima L Alfa fibers as a natural adsorbent

S. Hemsas, M. Hachemi

Abstract


Abstract: This work aims to explore the use of alfa fibers as a natural and low-cost adsorbent for the removal of astrazon yellow dye (AY) from aqueous solution on industrial textile effluent. The alkaline procedure was used to remove none cellulosic substances such as pectin, lignin and hemicellulose. The influence of alkaline treatment on fiber morphology is analyzed by FT-IR and SEM, showing physico-chemical changes in the treated material. The observations show that an interesting mesoporous structure was developed. The specific surface was notably increased to 62.48 m2/g. Batch adsorption experiments, at 25 C° and agitation speed of 150 rpm, were carried out and the effects of operational parameters including contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, and pH solution on adsorbed amount were investigated and discussed.

Batch adsorption shows that equilibrium was obtained after 40 min, and the adsorbed dye amount increases with pH. The highest removal rate was about 83 %. The experimental data of modelization showed that data were best fitted with the Freundlich model. The correlation coefficient values (R2) showed that the adsorptions Kinetic were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption thermodynamics and isotherms are consistent with spontaneous endothermic physicosorption. The results indicated that alfa fibers could be used effectively and advantageously to adsorb astrazon yellow dye from aqueous solutions.
