Equilibrium and kinetic studies of azo dye (Basic Red 18) adsorption onto montmorillonite: Numerical simulation and laboratory experiments
Adsorption of BR 18 dye onto nano-clay adsorbent was investigated. Nano-clay was characterized by using FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD and BET analysis. The percent removal increased by increasing nano-clay dose, while pH and stirring speed had no significant effect on the adsorption rate. It was observed that the uptake of dye onto nano-clay initially increased rapidly, and then decreased slowly until the equilibrium was reached. The adsorption capacity rose with an increase in temperature. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics was very fast and followed a pseudo second-order. The intra-particle diffusion was observed to be the rate-controlling step. In addition, equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption model. This paper also presents a numerical simulation incorporating the second-order kinetic expression using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The numerical modelling results and the experimental data were in excellent agreement.
