Equilibrium Modeling for Biosorption of Safranin onto Chemically Modified Biomass of Marine Aspergillus wentii
2011
Safranin was used as a model reactive dye for biosorption studies onto various forms of chemically modified biomass of Aspergillus wentii. The experimental equilibrium data was analyzed by various single-, two-, three-, four-, and five-parameter isotherms to understand the biosorption process. Biosorption isotherms modeling shows that the interaction of safranin with A. wentii surface is localized monolayer sorption. Results show that in general the accuracy of models to fit experimental data improves with the degree of freedom. The interaction among adsorbed molecules is repulsive having no association between them and sorption is carried out on energetically different sites and is an endothermic process. The five-parameter Fritz–Schluender model gives the most accurate fit with high regression coefficients (0.9902–0.9941), low standard errors (0.0389–0.0758), and sum of squares error (0.0075–0.0230) values to all experimental data in comparison to other models. The results disclose that the sorption isotherm models fitted the experimental data in the order: Fritz–Schluender (five-parameter) > Langmuir > Khan > Fritz–Schluender (four-parameter) > Temkin. This systematic evaluation of the more important equilibrium isotherm models provided the general basis for making a preliminary selection of an effective model for a given application.
