Abstract If you would like to improve the quality
Dye effluents and their degradation products disrupt the aquatic ecosystem functioning. Corncob was used as a low-cost of the data in this record, please
suggest a correction.
biosorbent for decolorization of methylene blue (MB) dye. Batch and fixed-bed column adsorption were performed by
varying temperature, pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, particle size, and bed height, flow rate and inlet dye
concentration, respectively. High MB adsorption capacities of corncob were attained at pH 9, i.e. 45.86mgg(-1), 91.7%.
Equilibrium data was best described by Langmuir II (R-2=0.999) followed by Freundlich (R-2=0.994) and Halsey (R-2=0.994)
isotherm models, which indicates the favorable adsorption of MB dye onto corncob adsorbent. Moreover, chemisorption
nature of corncob was confirmed through Dubinin-Radushkevich (E=16.01kJmol(-1)) and the best fit of pseudo-second-order
kinetic model. Thermodynamic studies revealed spontaneous (G<0) and endothermic (H>0) nature of reaction with increased
randomness (S>0) at the solid-liquid interface. The breakthrough curves were predicted using Thomas and BDST models.
BDST reflected that 2.26min were required to exhaust 1cm of the fixed-bed column. MB dye-loaded corncob adsorbent could
be regenerated (80%) and reused using 0.1M acetic acid.
