Abstract :
The present study concerns the adsorption in aqueous solution of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) on raw date seeds powder (RDS), roasted date seeds (RoDS), carbonized date seeds (CDS) and commercial activated carbon (CAC) taken as a reference. Infrared spectroscopy has been used to characterize the aforementioned adsorbents. The adsorption tests were carried out by varying the mass of the adsorbent, the initial concentration of the adsorbate and the pH of adsorbate solution. The optimum removal conditions have been determined using the surface response methodology to fit retention rate. Optimal dyes (5 mg/L) removal occurs at pH 5 with sorbent dose of 75 mg/L. Results of adsorption on various examined materials show that raw and roasted date seeds!are effective sorbents for removing MB from aqueous solution. The infrared analysis reveals that the functional groups involved in the adsorption exist in RDS and RoDS but not in CDS. MB is adsorbed in multilayers on heterogeneous surfaces. The adsorption process of the MB on the examined adsorbents is controlled by the chemisorption.
