Abstract :
This study aims to compare the removal efficiency of Nylosan Red (N-2RBL) dye by adsorbents prepared from grapes seeds and compare it to Aldrich activated carbon. Grapes seeds-based activated carbons were prepared by physical and combined activation. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models in their Linear and non-linear forms were applied to assess the removal process. R2, χ2 statistic, RMSE measures and APE functions were calculated for isotherms parameters evaluation. High removal efficiencies of 93.87 % and 92.5 % N-2RBL at conditions of 4 g/L (adsorbent dosage) and 100 mg/L (initial concentration) of were obtained using GC-MA and AAC adsorbents respectively. However, removal efficiency of 92 % and 82.19 % were obtained by GC-PA (4 g/L) and GC-NS (8 g/L) samples respectively at the same concentration. The best fit for linear and non-linear Langmuir isotherms models was more representative by GC-MA sample corresponding to adsorption capacities of 363.14 and 325.7 mg/g. Also, the non-linear and linear Freundlich isotherm models present good results for GC-MA indicating that the adsorption is favorable with adsorption energies of 40.79 and 26.2 mg/g, while GC-PA is moderate. Samples were classified in terms of adsorption capacity as follow: GC-MA > AAC > GC-PA > GC-NS.
