摘要

This study altered the chitosan (CS) biopolymer with high surface area Malaysian low-rank coal-activated carbon (CAC) to develop a new adsorbent of CS/CAC to eliminate MV dye. The main features of CS/CAC were examined by FTIR, BET, SEM, EDX, and pHpzc analysis. The RSM-BBD was employed to examine the influence of the adsorptive removal factors for MV dye by CS/CAC. The variables consist of (a) CS/CAC dosage (0.02–0.1 g/100 mL), (b) pH (4–10), and (c) contact time (20–180 min). The ANOVA results show that significant interactions of the adsorption key parameters were observed between AB, AC, and BC. Thus, the process of MV adsorption onto the CS/CAC surface was well presented by the pseudo-second-order kinetics framework and the Freundlich isotherm design. The qmax of CS/CAC is 88.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Thus, several ways can explain the MV dye adsorption onto the CS/CAC structure. These include n-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction, and pore filling. Hence, this research indicates that CS/CAC can serve as a promising composite biosorbent for eliminating toxic water contaminants such as MV dye.
