Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of the air flow rate in a three-phase air-lift reactor on the sorption of toxic dye, Brilliant green, onto a promising and efficient sorbent, sour cherry stone biochar. In order to gain a comprehensive insight into the sorbent/sorption behaviour, sour cherry stone biochar was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection, pH of the suspension, point of zero charge, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The experiments were performed in an air-lift reactor using airflows of 2.50 and 5.55 dm3 h-1. The experimental data of sorption kinetics experiments were fitted by non-linear form of pseudo-first and, pseudo-second models as well as the Weber-Morris model based on intraparticle diffusion. The overall sorption rate was found to be limited by the Brilliant Green mass transport rate to the sorbent at a lower airflow and thus mixing intensity, while it was kinetically controlled at a higher rate following the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Furthermore, sorption at lower air flow was delayed by mass transfer resistance through the liquid boundary layer sur­round­ing sorbent particles. Presented results clearly indicate that airflow intensity plays a signifi­cant role in the overall sorption kinetics and support possible application of the applied biochar for efficient Brilliant Green sorption.
