Abstract

Ethyl violet (EV) is one of the common pollutants in industrial wastewaters. This study presents the kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic characterization of the adsorptive removal of EV from aqueous solution by used black tea leaves (UBTL) as a low cost adsorbent. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the effects of initial dye concentration, solution pH and temperature on the adsorption kinetics. Experimental data were evaluated by inspecting the liner fitness of different kinetic model equations such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and Intra-particle diffusion models. The equilibrium amounts adsorbed at different equilibrium concentrations were determined from well fitted pseudo-second order kinetic plot to construct the adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity, qm=91.82 mg/g was determined from the well fitted Langmuir plot compared with Freundlich and Temkin plots. Thermodynamic parameters such as free energy change (∆Gads), enthalpy change (∆Hads) and entropy change (∆Sads) of adsorption were determined from adsorption equilibrium constants at different temperatures. The values of thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption of EV on UBTL was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature leading to chemisorption. Again, the equilibrium amount adsorbed, calculated from pseudo-second order kinetic plots for different initial pH of solution was found to be minimum at neutral medium compared with acidic and basic media due to the amphoteric nature of Ethyl violet in aqueous solution and zero point charge of pH of UBTL.
