Abstract

Adsorption thermodynamic and kinetic study of disperse dye on cotton fiber modified with tolylene diisocyanate derivative was carried out under the condition of pH value 6.0 ± 0.2, initial dye concentration 0.01–3.0 g/L and liquor ratio 2,000:1. The result showed the equilibrium adsorption isotherm of disperse dye on modified cotton fiber was Langmuir—Nernst mixed Model and the saturated adsorption capacity of the turning point was 7.1429 mg/g. The calculation of the thermodynamic parameters indicated that the Van der Waals’ forces played a major role between the disperse dye and the modified cotton fiber, and the adsorption of disperse dye on the modified cotton fiber was exothermic process. Compared with the diffusion coefficient and the activation energy of disperse dye on various fibers, the disperse dye diffusion in modified cotton fiber was more difficult than that in original cotton. Meanwhile, it was found that the adsorption kinetics of disperse dye on modified cotton fiber was well agreed with a pseudo second-order kinetic model.
