摘要

This study details the synthesis and application of a novel one-part geopolymeric hybrid composite (OP-GPHC) derived from glauconite, talc, and olive seed waste–based activated carbon for the efficient sequestration of Congo red (CR) dye from contaminated water. The hybrid binder was synthesized by impregnating activated carbon-based biogenic waste into a thermally treated glauconite/talc matrix, followed by alkali-activation with NaOH. Comprehensive characterization via XRD, FTIR, BET, TG/DTG, FESEM/EDX, and elemental mapping confirmed the material’s exceptional adsorptive properties. A Box–Behnken design (BBD) optimization established the optimal operational conditions: pH 2.0, adsorbent dosage 0.07 g/ 25 ml, contact time 77.5 min, initial CR concentration 150 mg/L, and temperature 328 K, achieving a removal efficiency of 99.2%. Equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm, yielding a maximum adsorption capacity of 367 mg/g at 328 K, while kinetic data followed the pseudo-first-order (PFO) model. Advanced statistical physics modeling revealed a multimolecular adsorption mechanism with a vertical orientation of CR molecules at the active sites, independent of temperature, and binding energies in the range of 19.25–21.46 kJ/mol, consistent with physisorption dominated by hydrogen bonding, π–π interactions, and electrostatic forces. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the process. The OP-GPHC adsorbent exhibited excellent reusability (87.8% after five cycles) and a low production cost of $0.032/g. Based on batch-derived data, treatment of 100 L of CR-contaminated water (50 mg/L) is projected to cost approximately $1.68, highlighting its strong potential for industrial-scale tertiary treatment applications.
