Abstract:
The equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption of methylene blue(MB) from aqueous solution onto copper coordination polymer with dithiooxamide (H2dtoaCu), one of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), were investigated in a batch adsorption system as a function of initial pH, adsorbent concentration, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models were used for modeling the adsorption equilibrium. It was found that Langmuir model yielded a much better fit than the Freundlich model under different temperatures. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of MB were 192.98, 229.86, and 297.38 mg/g at 298, 308, and 318 K, respectively. The calculated mean adsorption energy (8.2611.04 kJ/mol) using D-R model indicated that the adsorption process might take place by chemical adsorption mechanism. Otherwise, the kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption process could be well explained by pseudo-second-order rate kinetics and intraparticle diffusion was not the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic studies indicated that this system was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic process. Based on these studies, H2dtoaCu can be considered as a potential adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solution. © Copyright.
