Özet
In this study, a novel fibrous adsorbent obtained by grafting 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP)/2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate ( HEMA) comonomers onto poly ( ethylene terephthalate) ( PET) fibers was used for removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions through a batch equilibration technique. The Influence of treatment time, pH of the solution, dye concentration, reaction temperature and percent graft yield on adsorbed amount were investigated. 300 min. of adsorption time was found sufficient to reach adsorption equilibrium for MB. It was found that the adsorption isotherm of MB fitted to Langmuir type isotherm. The highest adsorption capacity was found to be 55.33 mg MB per gram adsorbent. The adsorbed amount of MB was much higher on the comonomers grafted PET fibers than on the ungrafted PET fibers. MB was removed by 98 % while the initial dye concentration was at 5 mg L-1 and by 88% at 300 mg L-1 by monomers mixture grafted PET fibers. It was found that the reactive fibers were stable and regenerable by acid without loosing their activity.
