Özet

In this study, the activated carbon (TmAC) with a high surface area and appropriate pore distribution was produced from einkorn (Triticum monococcum L.) husks by using ZnCl2 with chemical activation method. The efficiency of the obtained activated carbon on the adsorption of anionic (metanil yellow) and cationic (methylene blue) dyestuffs from aqueous solutions was investigated in more detail. In addition, the surface characterization of activated carbon was performed using thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, pore volumes, pore size distributions, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectra. The highest surface area of activated carbon was measured as 1321 m(2) g(-1) at the carbonization temperature of 500 degrees C by using impregnation ratio (w/w = 2.0). Batch method was used in adsorption experiments. The parameters affecting the adsorption studies such as adsorbent concentration, initial dye concentration, adsorption time, temperature, and pH were investigated. The adsorption mechanisms of metanil yellow (MY) and methylene blue (MB) on activated carbon were explained by using isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich), kinetic models (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order), and the thermodynamic parameters (Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy).
