摘要: Abstract In this study, two activated carbons were prepared from loofa, loofa carbon-1 (LC1) and carbon-2 (LC2). The surface structure of LC1 LC2 analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). ability to remove reactive orange (RO) dye aqueous solutions adsorption has been studied. A series experiments conducted assess the effect system variables such as initial pH, metal ion concentration temperature. results showed that was maximal at lowest value pH (pH =1) most suitable sorption temperature 25°C with maximum capacities 38.3 50 mg/g for respectively. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R), Temkin Harkins–Jura isotherms used analyze equilibrium data different temperatures. kinetics found follow a pseudo-first-order rate kinetic model. addition, various thermodynamic parameters, standard Gibbs free energy (▵ G 0 ), enthalpy H entropy S activation ( E ) have calculated. process onto be spontaneous exothermic process.
