Abstract

In the present study, locally base of palm leaf was used as a natural adsorbent for removing of textile dye (azure B) from aqueous solution. The effect of initial dye concentration, contact time, weight of adsorbent and temperature (25,35 and 50 °C) were investigated. The per cent of dye removal increased with increasing base of palm leaf mass and the adsorption process was reached equilibrium after 60 min. The adsorption isotherms are of H-type according to Gile's classification. The calculated data were analyzed using Langmiur, Freundlich and Dubinin-R isotherms, the results show that the adsorption process was better described by Langmiur isotherm than the other isotherms. Langmiur constants were also calculated. The basic thermodynamic functions were evaluated (DH, DG, DS) and it was found that interaction of dye with the surface was exothermic and spontaneous. The adsorption mechanism and the nature of interaction between surface and azure B dye was studied by using FTIR spectroscopy. Pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models were applied to experimental data at all temperatures (25, 35 and 50 °C), the adsorption followed pseudo-second order rate expression and the intraparticle diffusion may plays a role in the adsorption process. The activation energy of process was determined as 46.36 kJ/mol at 298 K. The adsorption of dye on base of palm leaf surface may be chemisorption in nature as indicated from desorption experiment.
