Dataset on adsorption of phenol onto activated carbons: Equilibrium, kinetics and mechanism of adsorption.

ABSTRACT: Two activated carbons (AC) prepared from onion leaves (OL) (Allium fistulosum) and palm kernel shell (PS) (Elaeis guineesis) were used to adsorb phenol from aqueous solution. Adsorption kinetics was studied by Pseudo-first order (PFO) and Pseudo-second order (PSO) models, while equilibrium was modelled using Langmuir, Freundlich, Toth and Redlich Peterson isotherms. Adsorption mechanism was analyzed applying Boyd and intraparticle diffusion models. The parameters of each one of the models were calculated using Minitab17® by non-linear regression. Piecewise linear regression was applied to calculate the parameters of Boyd and intraparticle diffusion models. Phenol adsorption onto activated carbons is describe better by Langmuir isotherm and PSO kinetic model. Maximum adsorption capacity was between 30 and 40 mg.g^-1.

Project description:This study presents the results of applying the methods of synthesizing mesoporous carbon and mesoporous polymer materials with an extended porous mesostructure as adsorbents for cationic dye molecules. Both types of adsorbents are synthetic materials. The aim of the presented research was the preparation, characterisation, and utilisation of obtained mesoporous adsorbents. The physicochemical properties, morphology, and porous structure characteristics of the obtained materials were determined using low-temperature nitrogen sorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and potentiometric titration measurements. The morphology and microstructure were imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical characterisation of the surface chemistry of the adsorbents, which provides information about the surface-active groups, the elemental composition, and the electronic state of the elements, was carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption properties of the mesoporous materials were determined using equilibrium and kinetic adsorption experiments for three selected cationic dyes (derivatives of thiazine (methylene blue) and triarylmethane (malachite green and crystal violet)). The adsorption capacity was analysed to the nanostructural and surface properties of used materials. The Generalized Langmuir equation was applied for the analysis of adsorption isotherm data. The adsorption study showed that the carbon materials have a higher sorption capacity for both methylene blue and crystal violet, e.g., 0.88-1.01 mmol/g and 0.33-0.44 mmol/g, respectively, compared to the polymer materials (e.g., 0.038-0.044 mmol/g and 0.038-0.050 mmol/g, respectively). The kinetics of dyes adsorption was closely correlated with the structural properties of the adsorbents. The kinetic data were analysed using various equations: first-order (FOE), second-order (SOE), mixed 1,2-order (MOE), multi-exponential (m-exp), and fractal-like MOE (f-MOE).
