The adsorption of Bromocresol purple (BCP) onto Raw Bentonite Clay (RBC) and activated carbon from Vachellia nilotica adsorbents were characterized using Fourier transform spectrometer (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The study of adsorption Kinetics and Thermodynamics were carried out. The pseudo -second order kinetic exhibits the best fit with the experimental data with R 2 values close to 1 and experimental values q are more closer to the calculated q change, ΔG of -5.98 to -7.75 and the process to be spontaneous. Positive values of enthalpy, ΔH, confirm the endothermic character of the adsorption process.Lower ΔH values of 11.01 and 11.98kJ/ adsorption of dye onto raw bentonite clay and activated carbon respectively, the adsorption is physical in nature..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
