TOPICS
ABSTRACT
To realize the effective utilization of reed for adsorption of methylene blue (MB), modified reed activated
carbon (M-RAC) was prepared using reed as raw material and MgCl2 and FeCl3 as activators. The four
parameters of M-RAC dosage, MB concentration, adsorption time, and oscillation velocity during the
adsorption process were optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM). The adsorption performance
of M-RAC on MB under the optimal process was determined and analyzed by three different adsorption
models. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of M-RAC on MB was 436.33 mg/g when the M-RAC
dosage was 0.17 g, the MB concentration was 550 mg/L, the adsorption time was 105 min, and the oscillation
velocity was 154 r/min. The experimental data were consistent with the Langmuir model and Pseudo-secondorder
kinetics, which indicated that the adsorption process was a monolayer chemical adsorption process.
The thermodynamic study confirmed that the increase in temperature favored the adsorption of M-RAC on
MB, and the adsorption process was a spontaneous and heat-absorbing reaction. The analysis of the Fourier
transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that the absorption peaks of hydroxyl functional groups in
the prepared M-RAC were higher, and the C-O characteristic peaks were enhanced. The results suggest that
M-RAC is a potential biochar adsorbent for effectively removing MB dye from wastewater.
