Characterization of the Adsorption Mechanism of Cadmium(II) and Methylene Blue upon Corncobs Activated CarbonGundogdu, AliBozbeyoglu, PinarImamoglu, MustafaBaltaci, CemalettinDuran, CelalBulut, Volkan N.Adsorption mechanismcadmium(II) (Cd2+)corncob activated carbonmethylene blueA promising new activated carbon (AC) was produced from corncobs (CCs) by boric acid-based chemical activation to remove methylene blue (MB) as an organic pollutant and cadmium ions (Cd2+) as an inorganic pollutant from aqueous solutions. After the produced activated carbon (CCs-AC) was characterized, the adsorption mechanism of CCs-AC, which is one of the most interesting topics in the literature, was the primarily focus. The possible adsorption mechanisms of Cd2+ and MB on CCs-AC from aqueous solutions are discussed with respect to pH, thermodynamic values, and regeneration parameters. The results show that the adsorption of Cd2+ on CCs-AC was favorable at pH values higher than 4. In contrast, the adsorption process was almost pH-independent for MB. Variation of pH showed that the adsorption of Cd2+ on CCs-AC primarily occurs by electrostatic interaction. However, MB adsorption may also involve pi-pi dispersion forces and partial hydrogen bonding. The Cd2+ adsorbed on CCs-AC was quantitatively desorbed by HCl, whereas MB was not desorbed quantitatively by any solution. While a temperature increase has a positive effect on the adsorption of both methylene blue and Cd2+, the thermodynamic results show that MB adsorption is primarily chemisorption (Delta H of 24.28 kJ/mole), while Cd2+ adsorption is mostly physisorption (Delta H of 7.20 kJ/mole). Using Langmuir adsorption isotherms, the MB adsorption capacity of CCs-AC, which primarily has a microporous structure, was 0.88 mmol/g, while the Cd2+ adsorption capacity was 1.28 mmol/g.TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC2023-02Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/10252https://doi.org/10.1080/00032719.2022.20983100003-2719enANALYTICAL LETTERSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/10252
