Abstract
The coconut residual fiber (CRF) is the major byproduct obtained during production of virgin coconut oil. Its application as a biosorbent for adsorption of Congo red was investigated. The CRF was subjected to different pretreatments, namely, pressure cooking, hexane treatment, acid treatment and their combinations. The pretreatment of CRF with the combination of hexane, acid, pressure cooking resulted in the highest degree of adsorption. The equilibrium data were analyzed and found to fit best to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy (ΔG0 kJ mol�1), standard enthalpy (ΔH0, kJ mol�1) and standard entropy (ΔS0, kJ mol�1 K�1) of the systems were calculated by using Langmuir constant. The ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0 were found to be 16.51 kJ mol�1, �19.39 kJ mol�1 and �0.12 kJ mol�1 K�1, respectively at 300 K. These thermodynamic parameters suggest the present adsorption process to be non-spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption process was observed to follow pseudo-second order kinetics. The results suggest that CRF has potential to be a biosorbent for the removal of hazardous material (Congo red dye) with maximum adsorption capacity of 128.94 mg g�1 at 300 K.
