Abstract:

The biosorption has the advantage that it can be applied to effluent disposal and thus brings various responses to the regulatory requirements for environmental protection. This study presents the results obtained from the use of date stones (DS) for the elimination of crystal violet (CV) from aqueous medium. Several analysis techniques were used to determine the different characteristics of biosorbent studied (FTIR, TGA-DTA, SEM and pHzpc).The physico-chemical parameters influence of the biosorption such as biosorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, biosorbent particles size and initial dye pH were investigated under static conditions in order to evaluate the process system. The test results show that a gram of date stones may set a maximum amount adsorbed 90.89 mg·g-1 of CV at 50 °C according to the Langmuir isotherm with pseudo-second-order kinetic. Thermodynamic calculations performed shows also that sorption is spontaneous, endothermic and increased randomness in the solid / solution interface.
