Methyl orange adsorption comparison on nanoparticles: Isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies

Add time:07/19/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A batch equilibrium system has been used to investigate the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) on NiO and CuO nanoparticles (NPs). The effects of experimental conditions such as initial concentration, agitation time, solution pH and temperature were examined. Langmuir and Freundlich's models were used for determining the adsorption parameters at three different temperatures. It was observed that the Langmuir model fits well with the experimental adsorption data. The pseudo first-order, second-order and intra-particle diffusion models were applied to investigate the kinetic data. The obtained results indicate that experimental kinetics data of NiO and CuO NPs were only well explained by the second-order model. It was found that the adsorption capacities of NiO NPs are higher than that of CuO NPs for each temperature. However, CuO NPs has higher adsorption rate than that of NiO NPs. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH⁰, ΔS⁰, and ΔG⁰) were determined and their values indicate that the adsorptions of MO on NiO and CuO NPs are endothermic and spontaneous processes. Thermodynamics parameters also confirm that the adsorption of MO is chemical and physical adsorption on the surfaces of NiO and CuO NPs, respectively.
