Abstract

The present study aims to valorize the hulls of Lophira lanceolata, an agricultural by-product in Benin. This natural resource, which is abundant in tropical countries, including Benin, has so far been considered as a biodegradable waste and treated as such. However, it has adsorption properties that can be exploited by transforming it into activated carbon for various uses, including water purification. For this purpose, activated carbons have been developed from the said hulls chemically impregnated with phosphoric acid. The adsorption kinetics of red Congo on these activated carbons is governed by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms of Congo red by the Langmuir model give adsorbed quantities varying between 1250 and 1666.67 mg.g-1, but this model is not credible to explain the mechanism. The Freundlich model is the most credible to explain the Congo red adsorption phenomenon. It indicates the cooperative and multilayer adsorption of Congo red on activated carbons. The thermodynamic study of the Congo red adsorption process shows that it is exothermic, spontaneous, and the Congo red molecules fixed are ordered on the surface of the activated carbons. Thus, it should be noted that the adsorbents produced can be used for the removal of anionic dyes in aqueous solution and effective at low concentrations.
