Kinetic, Isotherm and Thermodynamic Studies on the Ciprofloxacin Adsorption from Aqueous Solution Using Aleppo bentonite

Abstract

Aleppo bentonite was investigated to remove ciprofloxacin hydrochloride from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the several factors affecting the removal process, including contact time, pH of solution, bentonite dosage, ion strength, and temperature. The optimum contact time, pH of solution and bentonite dosage were determined to be 60 minutes, 6 and 0.15 g/50 ml, respectively. The bentonite efficiency in removing CIP decreased from 89.9% to 53.21% with increasing Ionic strength from 0 to 500mM, and it increased from 89% to 96.9% when the temperature increased from 298 to 318 K. Kinetic studies showed that the pseudo second-order model was the best in describing the adsorption system. The adsorption equilibrium data is better represented by the Langmuir isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacities of CIP were defined as 243.9, 270.27, 285.71 mg/g at 298, 308 and 318 K, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters were figured out showing that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic according to the negative values of ∆Gº and positive value of ∆Hº respectively. Based on these results, Aleppo bentonite seems to be an effective raw material for CIP adsorption and removal from aqueous solutions.

“…Comparison of the correlation coefficients of Langmuir and Freundlich equations demonstrates that the Freundlich equation fits MG adsorption better than Langmuir. The n values higher than 1 indicate that the adsorption process on NC: GO adsorbent is physical and has a high degree of heterogeneity 41,42 .…”

Adsorption of Malachite Green Oxalate Dye by CuCo₂O₄/MgO Spinel Oxide Nanocomposite

“…The percentage of dye removal was measured every 10 min, for 120 min after separating the adsorbent surface from the solution and finding the absorbance of the solution. As for the weight of the adsorbent surface, a series of volumetric flasks of 25 mL capacity of 8 ppm dye solution were also taken, in addition to the different weights in the range of 0.0025-0.015 g of the adsorbent surface and finding the percentage of dye removal at the optimization time [18]. In the same way, the function experiments were carried out with acidity and ionic strength [19];…”

“…As a result of the adhesion of all adsorbent particles to the adsorbed surface during the first 60 min. This observation arises from the gradual filling of active sites at the adsorbent surface with MGO dye molecules with time progress until it becomes fully saturated, which leads to reduce the rate of dye removal over the adsorbent surface [18].
