Thermal Carbonization of Biomass Wood Dust and Algae Wastes via Microwave-Assisted H3PO4: Desirability Function and Statistical Optimization for Methylene Blue Dye Removal Authors

This research utilized a carbonization procedure via microwave irradiation assisted by H3PO4 to generate a cost-effective adsorbent (CWDAG) from wood dust (WD) and algal (AG) biomass. The resulting CWDAG adsorbent was characterized for its methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption properties. The activatio...

description This research utilized a carbonization procedure via microwave irradiation assisted by H3PO4 to generate a cost-effective adsorbent (CWDAG) from wood dust (WD) and algal (AG) biomass. The resulting CWDAG adsorbent was characterized for its methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption properties. The activation process employs 800 W microwave radiation for 15 min under a nitrogen gas (99.99%) atmosphere. Multiple techniques were employed to study the physicochemical properties of CWDAG, such as FTIR, XRD, FSEM-EDX, pHpzc, and BET. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to optimize the three important parameters of adsorption, as follows: A: CWDAG dosage (0.02–0.12 g), B: pH (4–10), and C: contact time (30–420) min. BBD results show the highest removal of MB (98.6%) was met with a contact period of 225 min, a dosage of 0.12 g/100 mL of CWDAG at pH 10. Analysis of the kinetic profiles show that MB adsorption onto CWDAG occurred via a pseudo-second order (PSO) model. Adsorption isotherm analysis at equilibrium confirm that the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models fit the equilibrium data with similar goodness-of-fit results. Based on the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of CWDAG for MB is 32.3 mg/g. The possible mechanism of MB adsorption on the CWDAG surface include several contributions such as π–π stacking, H-bonding electrostatic forces, and pore filling.
