IFP Energies nouvelles International Conference Rencontres Scientifiques d'IFP Energies nouvellesRe´sume´-Adsorption et de´sorption d'un colorant organique a`l'interface sable de quartz-eauNous avons e´tudie´le transport, la sorption et la de´sorption d'un cation organique (bleu de me´thyle`ne (BM)), a`travers un milieu poreux constitue´de particules de sable de quartz charge´es ne´gativement. Nous avons examine´l'influence des parame`tres, tels que : la force ionique de la solution aqueuse, la vitesse de circulation, le pH de la phase aqueuse, la tempe´rature du milieu et la nature des cations divalents me´talliques pre´sents en solution, sur le transport et le de´poˆt du BM à travers le milieu poreux. Les mesures de la re´tention du colorant ont e´te´re´alise´es en utilisant la technique d'injection-e´chelon. Les re´sultats obtenus ont montre´une diminution de la quantite´de BM adsorbe´sur le quartz lorsque le pH de la phase aqueuse diminue de 9,5 a`4. Une baisse de la quantite´de BM adsorbe´a e´te´e´galement observe´e lorsque la force ionique ou le de´bit augmente. Cependant, l'augmentation de la tempe´rature a conduit a`une augmentation de la quantite´de BM adsorbe´e, ce qui laisse supposer que l'adsorption du BM sur la surface de quartz est de nature endothermique. En pre´sence de cations divalents en solution (Ca 2+ , Cu
2+, Zn 2+ et Ba 2+ ), la quantite´retenue du colorant de´pend de la nature du cation. L'ensemble de ces re´sultats, montre que l'adsorption du colorant basique est controˆle´e par les interactions e´lectrostatiques entre la surface ne´gative du quartz et le polluant organique cationique.Abstract -Adsorption and Removal of Organic Dye at Quartz Sand-Water InterfaceWe studied the transport, sorption and desorption of organic cation (Methylene Blue, MB) through a porous medium consisting of quartz sand particles negatively charged. We examined various parameters such as the ionic strength of the aqueous solution, the flow velocity, the pH of the aqueous phase, the temperature of the medium and the nature of the divalent metal cations present in solution, which affect the transport and the deposition of MB through the porous medium.Step-input experiments were carried out to measure the dye retention. The data showed a decrease in the MB adsorbed amount on the quartz, when the pH of the aqueous phase, or the temperature, decreases, or when the flow rate, or the affinity of the divalent cation (Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and Ba
2+) toward the quartz surface increases. The increase in ionic strength leads to a small decrease in the MB adsorbed amount. However, the increase in temperature leads to an increase in the retained MB amount, which suggests that the adsorption of MB on the surface of quartz is endothermic in nature. The overall data indicate that, at ambient temperature, electrostatic interaction forces, which occur between the cationic organic pollutant and the negative surface of the quartz substrate, mainly control the adsorption process.
