| Popis: | Adsorbents that are less expensive and more effective at removing organic micropollutants from wastewater have been developed through several approaches. Pine bark was treated with sodium hydroxide and then cross-linked to cyclodextrin using hexamethylene diisocyanate, in this study as an efficient adsorbent in the removal of 2-nitrophenol. FTIR, TGA and pHpzc analysis were used to characterize the biosorbent. The effects of pH, adsorbent mass, contact time and initial concentration on 2-nitrophenol removal was examined through batch adsorption studies. Pine bark crosslinked to cyclodextrin (PB-CD) surface functionalities was confirmed by FTIR analysis. It was discovered that solution pH, adsorbent mass, concentration and contact time all played a crucial role in the 2-nitrophenol uptake on PB-CD biosorbent and pine bark (PB) treated with sodium hydroxide. 2-Nitrophenol equilibrium was achieved with 0.05 g of adsorbents, with an initial concentration of 100–200 mg/dm3 at pH 5 after 60 min. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model significantly fitted the adsorption process. The Langmuir maximum capacities for PB and PB-CD were 47.36 mg/g and 77.82 mg/g, respectively. Overall, in the removal of 2-nitrophenol from an aqueous solution, PB-CD biosorbent is more cost-effective and efficient, in comparison with previously reported biosorbents in literature. |
