Kinetic Approach for the Adsorption of Organophosphorous Pesticides from Aqueous Solution Using “Waste” Jute Fiber Carbon

Abstract

Chemically activated “Waste” Jute Fiber carbon has been effectively used for the removal of five organophosphorous pesticides (malathion, monocrotophos, methylparathion, phosphamidon and dimethoate) from aqueous solutions. The prepared activated jute fiber carbon was characterized by using Elemental analyzer and proximate analysis methods. The adsorption equilibrium was examined at 28ºC. Three different kinetic models, the pseudo first order, pseudo second order and Elovich kinetic models were selected to analyses the adsorption process. To compare the fitness of pseudo first order and pseudo second order, sum of the squares of the errors and correlation coefficient, r2values were calculated. The Elovich model was used to confirm the chemisorptions.

Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanocomposites as adsorbents for removal of diazinon from aqueous solution: isotherm and kinetic study

“…According to the literature, optimum adsorption pH for all organophosphate pesticides is in the range of 5.5-7, and the results obtained in this study are consistent with the above studies (Kalantary et al , 2016; Kushwaha et al , 2011; Mohseni-Bandpei et al , 2015; Moussavi et al , 2013; Naushad et al , 2014; Senthilkumaar et al , 2010).…”

Calcined magnesite as an adsorbent for cationic and anionic dyes: characterization, adsorption parameters, isotherms and kinetics study

“…The Elovich equation is satisfied in chemical adsorption processes and is suitable for systems with heterogeneous adsorbing surfaces ( Aharoni and Tompkins, 1970 ). As shown by the R 2 values indicated in Table 4 , the Elovich equation was successfully used to describe second – order kinetics behavior that concurs with the nature of chemical adsorption, if the actual solid surfaces are energetically heterogeneous ( Senthilkumar et al., 2010 ). The results from the Elovich model corroborates those from isotherm modelling because they confirm that adsorption took place on heterogenous surfaces as evidenced by the Dubinin Radushkevich and Freundlich model fit on MB adsorption.…”

Removal of Malathion from Aqueous Solutions Using Dried Sludge Produced from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants in Daqhlia Government in Egypt

“…The most interesting model to describe the dry sludge adsorption is Elovich model which assume that, the rates may decrease with time due to an increase in surface coverage [22]. One of the most useful models for studies of such as chemisorption is the Elovich equation ( 2 Where, 'a' and 'b' are constants.…”
