Abstract

The adsorption of basic green 4 from aqueous solution on calcium exchanged clay (Attock-Ca and Swat-Ca) was studied. Clays were first purified and activated with H2SO4 and then exchanged with Ca2+ ions. Clay was characterized by BET surface area, XRD and SEM/EDS. The adsorption kinetic at 298 K and 306 K showed that the first order models were applied to the data. The rate constant increased with the rise in temperature of adsorption/activation. Thermodynamic properties (ΔE, ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) for the adsorption process were calculated. Positive values of ΔH showed that the adsorption of basic green 4 is endothermic. Positive values of ΔS reflected the increase in the disorder of the system at the solid-solution interface during adsorption. The Gibbs free energy, which is the driving force for adsorption is negative indicating spontaneous adsorption. Freundlich's and Langmuir's models described the equilibrium adsorption study and found to fit the experimental data.

Kurzfassung

Es wurde die Adsorption von Malachitgrün aus wässriger Lösung auf Ca2+ ausgetauschten Tonerden (Attock-Ca und Swat-Ca) untersucht. Die Tonerden wurden zuerst gereinigt und mit H2SO4 aktiviert. Dann wurden sie einem Austausch mit Ca2+-Ionen unterzogen. Diese Tonerden wurden mit der BET-Methode, der Röntgenbeugung (XRD) und im Rasterelektronenmikroskop (SEM) mittels Energiedisperser Röntgenanalyse (EDX) charakterisiert. Die Adsorptionskinetik bei 298 K und bei 306 K zeigte, dass die Daten einem Modell erster Ordnung gehorchen. Die Geschwindigkeitskonstante steigt mit zunehmender Adsorptions- bzw. Aktivierungstemperatur. Die thermodynamischen Eigenschaften (ΔE, ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) des Adsorptionsvorgangs wurden berechnet. Die positiven Werte für ΔH zeigen, dass die Adsorption von Malachitgrün endotherm ist. Die positiven Werte für ΔS lassen auf eine zunehmende Unordnung des Systems an der Fest-Flüssig-Grenzfläche während der Adsorption schließen. Die Gibbs-Energie ΔG, die die treibende Kraft der Adsorption ist, ist negativ, was auf eine spontane Adsorption hinweist. Die experimetellen Ergebnisse passen sowohl zum Freundlich- als auch zum Langmuir-Modell.
