Adsorption of textile dyes on alumina. equilibrium studies and contact time effects
The use of nonconventional adsorbents, particularly those that can be easily regenerated, to replace activated carbon in the removal of color from dye wastewaters has been recently proposed. This work shows a thermodynamic and kinetic study of the adsorption of reactive dyes (yellow monochlorotriazine and yellow dichlorotriazine), in liquid phase, on commercial alumina. The basic thermodynamic data were obtained using the static method, with a thermostatic bath at four different temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60oC) and different pH values. The kinetic data were obtained by adding a known quantity of adsorbent to a dye solution at a constant temperature and under controlled stirring conditions. It was possible to draw the uptake curves, using the effects of the stirring on the adsorption rate. The intraparticle effective diffusivity was estimated using the film and pore diffusion model. The results were compared with the data obtained using a commercial activated carbon.

| Summary: | The use of nonconventional adsorbents, particularly those that can be easily regenerated, to replace activated carbon in the removal of color from dye wastewaters has been recently proposed. This work shows a thermodynamic and kinetic study of the adsorption of reactive dyes (yellow monochlorotriazine and yellow dichlorotriazine), in liquid phase, on commercial alumina. The basic thermodynamic data were obtained using the static method, with a thermostatic bath at four different temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60oC) and different pH values. The kinetic data were obtained by adding a known quantity of adsorbent to a dye solution at a constant temperature and under controlled stirring conditions. It was possible to draw the uptake curves, using the effects of the stirring on the adsorption rate. The intraparticle effective diffusivity was estimated using the film and pore diffusion model.
