ABSTRACT:

Adsorption of dyes using Biosorbent is an alternative method to remove dye from wastewater. Biosorbent prepared from Laplap Purpureus stem powder(LPSP) has been used as an adsorbent for the removal of Bismark Brown R dye from the aqueous solution. The biosorbent material was analysed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The batch adsorption studies are carried out by absorbing the effect of experimental parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, equilibrium time and initial dye concentration. The values obtained from the experimental data were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model equation. The adsorption kinetic studies werealso analyzed by pseudo first order and pseudo second order models. From the analyzes of the data, it is observed that the biosorbent had a good capacity to remove the Bismark Brown R dye from the aqueous solution.

1. INTRODUCTION:

In developing countries, environmental pollution caused due to the discharge of industrial waste water is a major concern. Usually, untreated or partially treated industrial effluents are being discharged into the natural ecosystem. These industrial effluents act as major water pollutants. The dyes, an important class of pollutants are the compounds which are organic in nature and present in the industrial effluents discharged from textiles, paper, rubber, plastics, leather, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries. Synthetic dyes are being produced on large scale than that of the natural dyes and are frequently being used in industries. Due to their extensive applications, the synthetic dyes can cause considerable environmental pollution and serious health risks.

 

The presence of dyes in water bodies is toxic to aquatic as well as human lives, due to the presence of an aromatic structure; in some cases, metals in their structure. The dye-contaminated water is mutagenic, carcinogenic and causes many health problems such as nausea, hemorrhage, ulceration of skin and mucous membrane etc.1,2. The methods of dye removal from industrial effluents include biological treatment, coagulation, floatation, adsorption, oxidation and membrane filtration. Amongst the treatment options, adsorption method appears to have considerable potential for the removal of dye from industrial effluents3. Adsorption method is superior in simplicity of design, initial cost, easy to operation and insensitivity to toxic substance. A large number of suitable adsorbents such as activated carbon, polymeric resins or various low cost adsorbents (non modified or modified cellulose biomass, chitin, bacterial biomass, etc.) have been studied. Identification of a potential dye adsorbent must be in good agreement with its dye binding capacity, its requirements and limitations with respect to environmental condition. The valorization of agricultural wastes into valuable materials without generating pollutants is a big challenge and recommended for an industrial sustainable development in order to protect the environment 4. Therefore, biosorption is a promising method for pollutant removal from their solutions. The materials of biological origin are used as sorbents in order to remove dyes from the solutions. These ‘biosorbents’ contain a variety of functional groups which can complex with dyes. Research in the field of biosorption suggests a number of advantages over other techniques such as the material can be found easily as waste or by products, materials can be recycled, no need of costly growth media, methods are simple, and requires less investment. Moreover, the process is ecofriendly, rapid, easy to operate and independent of the physiological constraints of living cells5. In recent years a large number of biosorbents have been studied to removal of dyes, such as carrot leaves and their stem6, potato plant waste7, Cucumis sativus fruit peel 8, coconut coir dust9, wood apple shell10, Casuarina equisetfolia needle11,  Bengal gram seed husk12,peanut husk 13. The efficiency of adsorption process mainly depends on the cost and removal capacity of adsorbents used. Nowadays agricultural waste materials are receiving much more attention as adsorbents for the removal of dyes from industrial effluents due to its low cost and easy availability. The objectives of present study were to examine the sorption characteristics of Laplap purpureus stem powdered (LPSP), under optimum conditions, for the removal of dye from aqueous solution so as to facilitate comparison with other adsorbents.

 

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

2.1 Preparation of adsorbent:

The Laplap purpureus plant stems was collectedfrom local home garden after harvest at Sevvaypatti village, Karambakudi (T.K), Pudukkottai (D.T), Tamil Nadu -614 614, India. The stems were cut into small segments, thoroughly washed with tap water to remove dirt and then dried in sun light for five days. The driedLaplap purpureus plant stems were then ground as fine powder in a domestic grinder and screened to separate the particles of <90 µm by usingmanual (Jayant Test Sieves) sieves. These separated (LPSP)particles were kept in air tight plastic bottle for use in adsorption studies.

 

2.2 Preparation of Adsorbate:

Bismark Brown R having molecular formula C21H26Cl2 N8was chosen as the adsorbate.The Bismark Brown R dye used is Himedia grade. The dye stock solution was prepared by dissolving accurately weighed Bismark Brown R dye in double distilled water to the concentration of 1g/L. The experimental solutionwas obtained by diluting the stock solution in accurate proportions to requiredinitial concentrations. The IUPAC name of the Bismark brown R is 4-[5- (2, 4-Diamino-5-methylphenyl) diazenyl-2-methylphenyl] diazenyl-6-methylbenzol-1, 3-diamine14,15.

 

Batch Experiment:

Dye solution adsorption experiments were performed by taking50 mL of stock solution of dye (200 mg/L) and treated with500mg of adsorbent dose. The various studies were performed like pH, adsorbent dose, agitation time and initial dye concentration. After the desired times of treatment, samples were filtered to remove the adsorbent and progress of adsorption was determined by using lambda 35 UV-visible Spectrophotometer at the wave length for maximum absorbance λmax which at 420 nm for Bismark Brown R dye.

 

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION:

3.1 Effect of pH of dye solution on adsorption:

The pH of the aqueous solution is clearly on important parameter that controlled the adsorption process. The experiments were done with pH range (2 to 12), temperature (30̊ C), contact time (50 minutes), agitation speed (360 rpm), initial concentration 200 mg/Land the adsorbent dose is 300mg. The experimental results are shown in the table-1. The graph was plotted between pH and dye uptake shown in the figure-1. The figure shows that the biosorbent consists of polymers with many functional groups, so that the net charge on the biosorbent is also pH dependent16. When the pH of the system increases the number of negatively charged sites on the biosorbent also increase, due to increase in the hydroxyl ion concentration where as the number of positively charged sites decrease17. Therefore at higher pH, the surface of the adsorbent gets more negatively charged by losing protons and thus favors the uptake of positively charged (cationic) dyes due to increased electrostatic force of attraction 18. Hence, dye uptake decrease at lower pH due to less number of negatively charges site at the LPS surface. The lower sorption of BBR at lower pH was probably due to the presence of the excess H+ ions competing with the cationic groups on the dye for sorption sites 19. The maximum sorption of the BBR (cationic or positively charged dye) dye was observed at pH 8. The decrease in the biosorption of BBR dye after pH was insignificant.

3.2 Effect of biosorbent dose on adsorption:

The effect of adsorbent dose was also investigated for the removal of dye from aqueous solution. The experiments were carried out with adsorbent dose varied from (100 to 500mg) with keeping other parameter constant such as pH 8, initial dye concentration 200 mg/L, temperature (30̊ C ), contact time (50 minutes), agitation speed (360 rpm). The experimental results are shown in table -2. The influence of biosorbent dose in removal of dye is shown in figure -2. The figure indicating that adsorption was almost complete with biosorbent from 100 to300mg. The increase in adsorption with adsorbent dosage can be attributed to an increase in the adsorption surface and availability of more adsorption sites20. Further increase in biosorbent dose, did not show significant for the removal of dye, therefore, 300 mg biosorbent dose was chosen for successive experiments.

3.3 Effect of contact time on adsorption:

The contact time is one of the most important factors in batch adsorption process. In this study all of the parameter other than contact time 10 to 70 minutes, including temperature (30̊ C), adsorbent dose (300mg), pH 8, initial dye concentration 200 mg/L, agitation speed (360 rpm) were kept constant. The experimental data are shown in the table -3 and the effect of contact time on dye adsorption efficiency showed in the figure -3. The time variation plot indicates that the removal of dye is rapid in initial stages but when it attains equilibrium, it slows down gradually. This may be due to the availability of vacant surface sites during the preliminary stage of adsorption, and after a certain time period the vacant sites get occupied by dye molecules which lead to create a repulsive force between the adsorbate on the adsorbent surface and in bulk phase. The attainment of equilibrium takes place after agitating the solution containing the adsorbent up to 50 minutes and once equilibrium was attained, the percentage of adsorption of dye did not show any appreciable change with respect to time. This suggests that after equilibrium is attained, further treatment does not provide more removal21. In batch adsorption, the rate of removal of the adsorbate from aqueous solutions is controlled mainly by the transport of dye molecules from the surrounding sites to the interior sites of the adsorbent particles22. The figure showed that a contact time of 50 minutes was sufficient to achieve equilibrium and the adsorption does not change with further increasing contact time, therefore the contact time has been chosen as 50 minutes for the continuous experiment.

3.4 Effect of Initial dye concentration on adsorption:

The rate of adsorption is highly dependent on the initial amount of dye concentration. The experiment were done with various concentration ( 100 to 1000 mg/L) and constant temperature (30̊ C), adsorbent dose (300mg), pH 8, contact time (50 minutes), agitation speed (360 rpm). The experimental data are shown in table -4 and the graphs are plotted between dye uptake and initial dye concentrations are shown in figure -4. The figure shows that the effect of initial dye concentration factor depends on the immediate relation between the dye concentration and the available binding sites on an adsorbent surface9. Generally the percentage of dye removal decreases with increase in initial dye concentration, which may be due to the saturation of adsorption sites on the adsorbent surface23 and the adsorption capacity increased with an increase in the initial concentration of the dye. At low concentration there will be unoccupied active sites on the adsorption surface, and when the initial dye concentration increases, the active sites required for adsorption of the dye molecules will not be available 24.

3.5 Adsorption Isotherm:

Adsorption isotherm provides important models in the description of adsorption behavior. It describes thathow the adsorbate interacts with the adsorbent and so it is important in optimizing the use of adsorbent. Two common isotherm equations namely, Langmuir and Freundlich models were tested.

 

Langmuir Isotherm:

Langmuir isotherm takes assumption that the sorption occurs at specific homogeneous sites within the adsorbent. The general term for Langmuir equation is,

qe  = bqmaxCe/1+bCe

The linear form of isotherm equation can be written as,

1/qe = ( 1/bqmax) (1/Ce) + (1/qmax)

qmax = Maximum dye uptake corresponding to the saturation capacity of the adsorbent,  b = Energy of adsorption variable Ce andqe respectively.

 

The constant qmax and bare the characteristics of the Langmuir isotherm and can be determined from the above equation. Therefore a plot of 1/qe Vs 1/Ce gives a straight line of a slope (1/qmax) and intercepts 1/qmax. So the data fit with Langmuir isotherm. The linearity of the plot indicates application of Langmuir equation supporting monolayer formation on the surface of the adsorption.

Freundlich Isotherm:

Freundlich isotherm is an empirical equation based on a heterogeneous surface.The general form of Freundlich equation is,

qe = kfCel/n

 

and the linearized form is, log qe = log kf + l/n log Ce where the intercept log kf is a measure of adsorption capacity and slope l/n is the intensity of adsorption. The variable qe and Ce are dye adsorbed and the equal dye concentration in solution. Langmuir and Freundlich plots were arrived using the tables – 5 and their plots were shown in figure – 5 and figure – 6 respectively. It appears that Langmuir and Freundlich model both best fit the experimental range with good correlation coefficient.

3.6 Kinetic models:

Kinetic models have been used to test the experiment data to investigate about mechanism of adsorption and potential rate controlling step such as mass transfer and chemical reaction process. The transiting behave of batch adsorption process was analyzed using pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models.

 

Pseudo First order:

The possibility of adsorption data following Lagergren pseudo-first-order kinetic is given by the linearized eq.

log (qe - qt) = log qe – (k1/2.303)t

 

Where qe (mgg-1) and qt (mgg-1)refer to the amount of dye adsorbed per unit weight of adsorbent at equilibrium and at time t, k is the rate constant of adsorption.

 

The sorption coefficient and equilibrium capacity qe can be determined from the linear plot of log (qe – qt) versus time from the figure 5. It was evident that the linear plot shows the applicability of the Lagergren equation, qe values were present at table 6. The results indicated that the dye concentration has no significant effect. The correlation coefficient of r2 is 0.9943.

Pseudo Second order:

This adsorption kinetic model equation was proposed by Ho (1995) and Ho and MacKay (2000), tried to explain the sorption capacity, the pseudo second order model can be expressed as,

 

t/qt =1/k2 qe2 + 1/qet

 

Where t is the constant time (min), qe(mgg-1) and qt(mg g-1) are the amounts of dye adsorbed at equilibrium and at any time, t. If second order kinetics is applicable; the plot of t/qt verses t should give a linear relationship (Fig - 8). The qe and r2values can be determined from the plots.

The data values were summarized in Table -6. It was seen that the pseudo-second-order model fit very well, giving a very high correlation coefficient of 0.9994 with a qe123.33.

3.7 SEM Analysis:

Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) studies provide useful information regarding morphological characteristics of the biosorbent. SEM image (Figure- 9a) of the unloaded biosorbentshowsthe rough and uneven surface of LPSP. This surface property should be considered as a factor for binding of dye molecules. In Figure- 9b is the surface structure of BBR loaded LPSP. After dye adsorption, a significant change is observed in the structure of the adsorbent. The adsorbent appears to have a rough surface and pores containing new shiny particles after adsorption 25.

4. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:

The result of the present investigation shows that biosorbent prepared from cost free material, Laplap purpureus plant stem powder (LPSP) has suitable adsorption capacity with regard to the removal of Bismark Brown R dye from its aqueous solution. The following conclusion drawn from the present studies that LPSP is a suitable material for dye adsorption. pH, Adsorbent dose, Equilibrium time and Initial dye concentration are highly favorable for  the dye removal efficiency of the adsorbent. It was found that the sorption process is pH dependent and the maximum adsorption capacity of BBR dye is at pH 8. The optimum dose was 300 mg. The optimum time was observed to be 50 min and with 77.47% BBR dye removal efficiency. Present result shows that both Langmuir and Freundlich models better fit for the adsorption equilibrium data. In the examined concentration range 50 to 250 mg/L, the results also reveal that, it follows pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models. SEM, XRD and FT-IR analysis clearly reveals that the adsorption of BBR dye onto biosorbent LPSP. Therefore, LPSP can be used for removal of BBR dye from the aqueous solution. Engineering technologies can be developed by using the results of isotherm model for the removal of effluent in the most efficient way.
