Abstract
Sulphuric acid treated red mud has been utilized for removal of Disperse Orange 25 (DO25) dye from dye contaminated water to investigate its potential as a low cost adsorbent. The activation with concentrated sulphuric acid has increased the surface area of red mud from 20.2 to 32.28 m2/g. The effect of contact time, initial pH, initial dye concentration, temperature and red mud dosage on percentage adsorption of dye using acid treated red mud was investigated. Acidic pH of 4 favoured adsorption and 120 min contact time was found to be suitable for attainment of equilibrium conditions. Langmuir isotherm model has been found to represent the equilibrium data for DO25-red mud adsorption system better in comparison with Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of activated red mud was found to increase with the increase in temperature and at 40 °C, it was found to be 127 mg dye/g of activated red mud. Thermodynamic analysis showed that adsorption of DO25 on acid-treated red mud is an endothermic process with ΔHoof 67 kJ/mol. The adsorption kinetics was represented by second-order kinetic model and the kinetic constant was estimated to be 0.00102 g/mg min.
