Abstract:
In this research, chitosan-decorated activated carbon (AC-CS) was proposed. The AC was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to prepare an adsorbent (AC-CS). The AC-CS has a rough surface. Adding the AC-CS directly to the dye solution can achieve simple and convenient removal of anionic azo dyes acid red 18 (AR-18). In the dye solution, the AC-CS was used as an adsorbent. The effects of pH, contact time, temperature, initial concentration of AR-18 and the AC-CS dosage on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. Full kinetic and isotherm analyses were also undertaken. In addition, the reusability of the AC-CS was evaluated, and the results showed that the removal rate of AR18 after regeneration remained relatively stable, above 90%. This experiment has shown that AC-CS is a promising anionic azo dye adsorbent.
