ROMANIAN (MĂCICAŞ) ZEOLITIC VOLCANIC TUFF FOR MALACHITE GREEN REMOVAL
Keywords:
natural zeolite, malachite green, adsorption, efficiency, equilibrium, kinetic, thermodynamicAbstract
Zeolitic volcanic tuff was tested as a potential adsorbent for malachite green (MG) dye removal from aqueous solutions. The influences of contact time, temperature, dye initial concentration, solid:liquid ratio, and adsorbent grain size over the adsorption capacity and efficiency were considered. Removal efficiencies up to 99% and a monolayer capacity (Langmuir) of 4.05 mg MG/g were calculated. The equilibrium and kinetic study showed that the experimental data were best fitted on the Temkin model and that the intra-particle diffusion could be the rate determining step. Thermodynamic analysis showed that MG adsorption onto ZVT is an endothermic, non-spontaneous process.
