Preparation of activated carbon from chia seed for the adsorption of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A

Preparation of activated carbon from chia seed for the adsorption of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A / Cheah Yi Tong
Pertumbuhan penduduk yang pesat telah meningkatkan permintaan BPA pada masa kini. Pelepasan BPA ke dalam badan air boleh membahayakan kesihatan kepada manusia. Oleh itu, karbon aktif yang disediakan dari biji chia telah dikaji untuk penjerapan endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A dari larutan akueus. Benih chia telah menjalani 200 ℃ karbonisasi hidroterma pada awalnya kemudian diaktifkan dengan KOH dalam nisbah 1:1 (biji chia dengan KOH) diikuti oleh karbonisasi pada 800 ℃ sepanjang 1.5 jam. Kajian penjerapan dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan kepekatan (20 ppm – 300 ppm), suhu (30 ℃ - 50 ℃) dan pH ( pH 3 - pH 11) terhadap karbon aktif yang disediakan. Parameter termodinamik seperti tenaga bebas Gibbs standard (ΔG°), entalpi standard (ΔH°) dan entropi standard (ΔS°) akan dikira. Data penjerapan keseimbangan telah dibuktikan untuk mengikuti isotherm model Langmuir dan model kinetik pseudo-first. Kapasiti penjerapan maksimum dari eksperimen ialah 152.372 mg/g pada 50 ℃. Penjerapan BPA dengan karbon yang diaktifkan dengan KOH dari biji chia didapati spontan dan mengikuti mekanisme penjerapan fizikal. Hasilnya membuktikan karbon aktif daripada biji chia adalah berekesan dalam penjerapan BPA dalam larutan akueus. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rapid population growth has increased the demand of endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A (BPA) nowadays. Disposal of BPA into water bodies can cause health hazard to human. Hence, activated carbons prepared from chia seed was prepared for the adsorption of endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A from aqueous solutions. The chia seed was undergone 200 ℃ hydrothermal carbonization at first then activated with KOH at ratio 1:1 (chia seed to KOH) followed by carbonization at 800 ℃ for 2 hours. Adsorption study was carried out to study the effect of concentration (20 ppm to 300 ppm), temperature (30 ℃ to 50 ℃) and pH (pH 3 to pH 11) onto the as prepared carbons. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibbs free energy (Δ𝐺°), standard enthalpy (Δ𝐻°) and standard entropy (Δ𝑆°) were calculated. Equilibrium adsorption data followed Langmuir isotherm while the kinetics followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity for the prepared activated carbon was 152.372 mg/g at 50 ℃. The adsorption of BPA onto the KOH-activated carbon from chia seed was found to be spontaneous in physisorption mechanism. The results proved chia seed derived activated carbon was effective in removing BPA from aqueous solution.
