Adsorptive Removal of Dye (Methylene Blue) Organic Pollutant from Water by Pine Tree Leaf Biomass Adsorbent

In this laboratory batch adsorption study, the raw pine tree leaf biomass solid waste adsorbent material was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from water at different physicochemical process conditions. The characteristics of adsorbents were determined for particle size, surface area, the existence of functional group identification, and the morphology of the adsorbent surface. The adsorption was performed at different process conditions, which include solution pH, dye concentrations, adsorbent doses, and temperature, respectively. In this study, it was found that MB dye adsorption increased with increases in solution pH and adsorbate MB dye concentration but decreased with adsorbent doses and temperature at fixed process conditions. The Langmuir isotherm model was best fitted with the experimental equilibrium data, with a higher linear regression coefficient (R2) value of 99.9% among the two widely used Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model equations. The maximum Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of raw pine leaf was found to be 36.88 mg/g, which was comparable with other reported adsorbent capacities towards methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption. The value of the separation factor, RL, from the Langmuir isotherm model equation gives an indication of favorable adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0), standard enthalpy change (ΔH0), and standard entropy change (ΔS0) indicated that the methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption by pine tree leaf biomass was spontaneous and exothermic in nature and that the mechanism of adsorption was mainly physical adsorption. Finally, limitations and future studies are also discussed here. The outcome of this batch adsorption study may result in the valorization of locally available large pine tree leaf residue waste, which could be used in water purification.
