KINETIC AND THERMODYNAMIC STUDIES ON THE ADSORPTION OF CRYSTAL VIOLET USING MODIFIED ACTIVATED CARBON FROM DIALIUM COCHINCHINENSIS SHELLS
Keywords:
Crystal Violet, Adsorption, Activated carbon, Dialium cochinchinensis shellsAbstract
This research studies the kinetics and thermodynamics of crystal violet adsorption on the activated carbon of Dialium cochinchinensis shells; DS, a biomass waste material from the Yarang in Pattani province. The DS was carbonized and activated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) to enhance its adsorption properties. The study also examined
the adsorption of crystal violet on modified activated carbon (DSAC-KOH and DSAC-H3PO4), revealing that the adsorption behavior follows the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities (qm) for crystal violet were 294.12 and 416.67 mg g-1 on DSAC-KOH and DSAC-H3PO4 at 30°C and pH 5, respectively. From thermodynamic studies, the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. This research demonstrates the potential of utilizing local agricultural waste as a low-cost and effective adsorbent for dye-contaminated wastewater treatment, contributing to environmental pollution reduction and promoting sustainable circular economy practices at the community level.
