Chitosan entrapped microporous activated carbon composite as a supersorbent for remazol brilliant blue R
In this work, we synthesized a chitosan-activated carbon composite (Cs-C) using sodium tripolyphosphate (STTP) as a crosslinker. The Cs-C was characterized through Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the pH point of z...

Summary: | In this work, we synthesized a chitosan-activated carbon composite (Cs-C) using sodium tripolyphosphate (STTP) as a crosslinker. The Cs-C was characterized through Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the pH point of zero charge for the physicochemical, structural, and morphological analyses. The material was subjected to the adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) dye. The effects of the solution pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, temperature, and dye concentration were examined. The equilibrium data was described well by the Langmuir isotherm model with a coefficient of determination (

which is much higher in contrast to all the previously reported materials. The kinetics of uptake was well-described by the pseudo-second-order model chemisorption model. Evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters reflected the spontaneous, endothermic and entropy-driven nature of the adsorption.
In this work, we synthesized a chitosan-activated carbon composite (Cs-C) using sodium tripolyphosphate (STTP) as a crosslinker and it was evaluated for the adsorptive removal of RBBR dye showing excellent capacity of 540.3 mg g
