Simultaneous multidye biosorption by chemically modified Sargassum glaucescens: Doehlert optimization and kinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic study in ternary system
Multidye biosorption of Sunset yellow (SY), Eosin yellow (EY) and Indigo carmine (IC) dyes onto chemically modified biomass of brown alga Sargassum glaucescens was studied. Principal component-wavelet neural network (PC-WNN) was applied for the simultaneous determination of anionic dye concentrations in ternary solutions. Experimental parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with a Doehlert design. The optimal biosorption conditions were identified as biosorbent dosage 0.2 g L-1, pH 3, and time 25 min. The maximum total biosorption capacity was 0.102 mmol g(-1). The Hill isotherm was the most suitable adsorption models in single and ternary systems. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis confirmed possible interactions between biosorbent surface and dye molecules.
