Abstract
The work aims to study the removal of crystal violet (CV) using laterite soil with surface modification by surfactant (SML). Surface modification of laterite soil was conducted by pre-adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at pH 4 and low ionic strength to enhance removal of CV. The effective conditions for CV removal through adsorption technique using SML were optimized and found to be contact time 60 min, pH 6, adsorbent dosage 5 mg/mL, and 5 mM NaCl as background electrolyte. The highest removal of CV using SML reached to 86.5% under optimum conditions. We used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to evaluate the change of surface vibrational groups of laterite after SDS pre-adsorption and after CV adsorption while the different charged surface was determined by ζ potential measurements. The CV adsorption onto SML increased when increasing ionic strength from 1 to 10 mM. Nevertheless, at high ionic strength, this trend is reversal due to desorption of SDS from laterite surfaces. Adsorption isotherms of CV onto SML at different NaCl concentrations were tried to fit by Langmuir, Freundlich, and a two-step adsorption models. The adsorption kinetics were in good agreement with pseudo-second-order model. The removal efficiency of CV after four regenerations still reached higher than 85%. On the basis of adsorption isotherms, charged surface change by ζ potential and surface modification by FT-IR, we suggest that CV adsorption onto SML was induced by both non-electrostatic and electrostatic interactions. We also demonstrate that SML is a novel, reusable, and low-cost adsorbent for cationic dye removal from aqueous solution.
