Popis: | Chitosan microspheres were employed as adsorbent in aqueous medium for the reactive orange 16 containing the vinylsulfone group. Adsorption isotherms were obtained varying pH, contact time, and initial concentration of the dye in the solution. The results from the adsorption experiments were analyzed using Langmuir's isotherm. An increase in the adsorption capacity as the pH decreased could be observed. Maximum adsorption reached 30.4mg/g and 5.6mg/g for pH 2.0 and 10.0, respectively. This effect could be mainly attributed to an increase in the contents of the NH + 3 group present in acid media, which resulted in a higher electrostatic attraction between the anionic dye and the protonated chitosan. |
