Comparison of removal of bromothymol blue from aqueous solution by multiwalled carbon nanotube and Zn(OH)2 nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon: A thermodynamic study
چکیده انگلیسی

In this research Zn(OH)2 nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (Zn(OH)2-NPs-AC) as novel adsorbent and raw multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were applied for efficient removal of bromothymol blue (BTB). Both adsorbent has been characterized with different techniques such and SEM, XRD and UV–vis spectrometry. Their size was less than 100 nm. In the removal process the variables are pH, temperature, concentration of BTB, amount of adsorbent and contact time that their influence on removal of BTB was optimized using one at a time approach in batch procedure. Adsorptions of BTB on bath adsorbent depend highly on pH. Following the investigation of temperature effect, the thermodynamic parameters including change in entropy, enthalpy and free Gibbs energy were calculated. For both adsorbents, positive value of enthalpy and negative value of ΔG0 show routine feasibility of adsorption using energy. At optimum value of variables, the removal processes onto both adsorbent have high adsorption capacity for best fitting model Langmuir, i.e. for Zn(OH)2-NP-AC and 150 mg/g for PAC. The adsorption rates were well explained with pseudo second order and interparticle diffusion model. It is expected that there could an increase in the number of reactive sites due to their expected high volume, pore size and high surface area.
