| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the removal of astrazon blue (AB) dye from aqueous solution by adsorption on an otherwise despoiling and useless mineral waste obtained from coal mining (MWCM) and how this was affected by calcination. The solid waste, as characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, specific surface area measurements and Boehm titrations, was found to be composed primarily of calcite, dolomite, and gypsum. Experiments investigated how adsorption was affected particularly by the conditions of pre-calcination of the waste, and also by the contact time, initial AB dye concentration, pH, and temperature of the aqueous medium. Optimum performance was achieved with waste that had been pre-calcinated at 400°C, MWCM400. The kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics of adsorption for MWCM400 were investigated in detail with results that could be satisfactorily rationalized by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model together with a Lan... |
