Tóm tắt

The equilibrium sorption of a local Ayous (Triplochiton scleroxylon) wood sawdust was examined as substitute adsorbent for removal of paraquat from water. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich (DRK) isotherms were used to compare the equilibrium sorption data obtained. The separation factor revealed a constructive sorption experiment since the maximum monolayer coverage (Q0) from Langmuir isotherm model was found out to be 41.66 µmol/g. In addition, the correlation value of Langmuir isotherm model was the maximum among the four adsorption isotherms. From Freundlich isotherm model, the sorption intensity (n) that denotes favorable sorption and the correlation value are 2.402 and 0.929, respectively. Temkin isotherm model was used to calculate the heat of sorption process which corresponds to 18.39 J/mol, and the mean free energy was estimated from DRK isotherm model to be 0.091 kJ/mol which vividly proved that the adsorption experiment was obeyed to a physical process. The results indicate that this local wood sawdust could be employed as an economical material for reducing paraquat from industrial wastewater.
