Abstract

Experimental studies and biosorption kinetics of an intraparticle diffusion model for acid dye removal using a musa spp. waste sorbent were carried out to find the removal effects and dynamics of various operating parameters, such as initial dye concentration, sorbent dosage, pH and temperature. Experimental data were modeled with kinetic models and two biosorption isotherms of intraparticle diffusion models as well as the physiochemical data of sorbents characterized by SEM and FT-IR. Kinetic studies showed that the sorption process follows second-order rate kinetics with an average rate constant of 0.0018675 (g/mg·min). Thermodynamic parameters such as entropy of biosorption (ΔS0), enthalpy of biosorption (ΔH0) and Gibbs free energy of biosorption (ΔG0) were obtained and analyzed. Sorbent, musa spp. waste (banana peel) was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The results showed that musa spp. waste can be considered as potential sorbent for the sorption of acid violet 54 from dilute aqueous solution.
