Abstract

The efficiency of an ionic liquid based periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO-IL) in the removal of sunset yellow from aqueous solutions using ultrasonic assisted adsorption method was investigated. The PMO-IL was first characterized by nitrogen sorption and TEM techniques. The optimized conditions (0.013 g of adsorbent, 32 mg L−1 of sunset yellow at 2 min of sonication time and pH 7) were obtained by central composite design (CCD). Fitting the equilibrium data show the suitability of the Langmuir model with second-order equation to control the kinetic of the adsorption process and good reusability (5 cycles) of PMO-IL for adsorption of dye.
