The Use of Bilberry Leaves (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) as an Efficient Adsorbent for Cationic Dye Removal from Aqueous Solutions

Abstract: In this study, a new lignocellulosic bioadsorbent, bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaves powder, was used to remove the methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. The characterization of the adsorbent was performed by FTIR, SEM and color analysis. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature and ionic strength on the adsorption process were followed. Equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies were conducted in order to understand the adsorption process mecha… Show more

“…As a result, the Kocho's removal of MB cationic dye was most effective at pH > pHpzc where the functional groups get protonated and less MB dye are adsorbed by the biosorbent. The approximately close values were reported for other biosorbents:5.6 for Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) leaves powder [49] 5.77 for Syringa vulgaris leaves powder [50], 6.3 for papaya leaf powder and Typha angustifolia leaves powder [51].…”

“…When 20 kJ mol −1 < Δ H ° < 80 kJ mol −1 , electrostatic contact plays a substantial role in the physical purification process. The adsorption mechanism is primarily chemical when Δ H ° > 80 kJ mol −1 40 . The material used in this experiment to purify MB and MO possesses a Δ H ° value that is less than 80 kJ mol −1 , suggesting that physisorption is at play, albeit a chemical reaction may assist the process to a very small degree.…”

“…Another possible use is as a foaming agent to produce ceramic or glass foams. During the combustion process, a large amount of gas results, which makes it an ideal sporogenous precursor for this type of materials [ 61 , 62 ].…”
