Abstract
The use of low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. In this study, not hydrolyzed poly(styrene-alternative-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) polymer have been used as new synthetic adsorbent to removal of acid red-14 dye from aqueous solutions (industrial wastes). Batch sorption studies have been carried out to determine the effect of agitation time, pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration of the sorbate and temperature. The effect of electrolyte interference such as \( {\text{Na}}^{ + } \) and \( {\text{Cl}}^{ - } \) on dyes removal efficiency was investigated. The acid red 14 dye showed maximal amount of sorption capacity as 5.12 mg/g at pH 6.1 and 25 °C. Equilibrium data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to find the best fit, and it was found that the adsorption of this dye on adsorbents particles are monolayer and correspond to the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetics were investigated using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate equations and kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order rate equation for sorption of this dye on PSMA adsorbent. The application of adsorbents performance was tested with real samples which contain limit exceeded amount of foresaid dyes which had been taken from a Dyeing Factory. This study provides good background to development of dye removal in waste waters by polymeric sorbent.
