BENMAAMAR, Z. et al. Simulation of Adsorption Kinetics of Malachite Green onto Activated Carbon. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.2, pp.93-104. ISSN 0872-1904.  https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201902093.

In this work, activated carbon was produced from residue of fruit of Sapindus and used for the application of adsorption removal of malachite green dye from simulated aqueous solution. Adsorption kinetics of malachite green onto actived carbon was studied in a batch system. The effects of pH and contact time were examined. The malachite green maximum adsorption occurred at pH 6 (4.5 mg/g) and the lowest adsorption occurred at pH 2 (4.1 mg/g). The apparent equilibrium was reached after 120 min. Optimal experimental conditions were determined. In order to determine the bestfit- adsorption Kinetics, the experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, pseudo-third-order, Esquivel, and Elovich models. Linear regressive and non-linear regressive methods were used to obtain the relative parameters. The statistical functions were estimated to find the suitable method which fit better the experimental data. Both methods were suitable to obtain the parameters. The non-linear pseudo-first-order model was the best to fit the equilibrium data. The present work showed that activated carbon can be used as a low cost adsorbent for the malachite green removal from water.
