Abstract

Water contamination due to methylene blue (MB) is a world-wide problem and needs attention by developing good adsorption methods. Consequently, novel inexpensive adsorbents were prepared using Moroccan Pozzolan i.e. Pozzolan Laayoune (PZL) powder, Pozzolan Timahdite (PZT) powder, Pozzolan Laayoune Alginate beads (PZLA-beads), and Pozzolan Timahdite Alginate beads (PZTA-beads). These materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), point of zero charge (pHpzc), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). These adsorbents were used for the removal of MB from water. The data fitted well to the Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacities (q_max) of 80, 91.73, 62.11, and 67.11 mg/g for PZL powder, PZLA-beads, PZT powder, and PZTA-beads, respectively with pseudo-second-order kinetics. Furthermore, Moroccan pozzolan beads (PZLA-beads) were tested for the treatment of real textile effluents; showing complete removal of MB. The desorption studies demonstrated that the pozzolan-based adsorbents acted as a regenerative, and reusable sorbent. The results indicated that Moroccan pozzolan-based adsorbents may be recommended for the treatment of textile wastewater containing MB dye.

低成本摩洛哥pozzolan- alg酸盐吸附剂的合成和表征：动力学和机理

亚甲基蓝对水体的污染是一个世界性的问题，需要开发良好的吸附方法。因此，以摩洛哥波灰兰为原料，制备了新型廉价吸附剂，即波灰兰Laayoune （PZL）粉末、波灰兰Timahdite （PZT）粉末、波灰兰Laayoune Alginate珠粒（pzla -珠）和波灰兰Timahdite Alginate珠粒（pzta -珠）。利用x射线衍射（XRD）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、x射线荧光（XRF）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM-EDX）、零电荷点（pHpzc）和Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）对这些材料进行了表征。这些吸附剂用于去除水中的MB。PZL粉末、pzla -珠粒、PZT粉末和pzta -珠粒的最大吸附量qmax分别为80、91.73、62.11和67.11 mg/g，具有准二级动力学，符合Langmuir模型。此外，还测试了摩洛哥火山灰珠（pzla -珠）用于处理真正的纺织废水；解吸研究表明，火山灰基吸附剂是一种可再生的、可重复使用的吸附剂。结果表明，摩洛哥波唑兰吸附剂可推荐用于含MB染料的纺织废水的处理。

期刊介绍： The journal includes papers in the following areas: – Simple organic liquids and mixtures – Ionic liquids – Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces – Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles – Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals – Ferrofluids – Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids – Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts – Molten metals and salts – Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids – Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include: – Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.) – Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.) – Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.) – Dielectric relaxation – X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction. Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
