ABSTRACT: Green coconut fiber (Cocos nucifera L.) has been largely used in solid-phase extraction. The effect of the
initial dye concentration (1.91, 3.02 and 4.02) × 10-5 mol·L-1 and solid phase contact (SPE) time were evaluated at different temperatures
(283, 298 and 313) K at pH 2. Kinetic experimental data were applied to three
simplified kinetic models: pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and
intraparticle diffusion. The adsorption of 5.5’-DI onto the solid phase showed excellent
fit to the pseudo-second order model. At 283, 298 and 313 K the maximum
sorption, qmax,exp, for
the lowest initial concentration (Co = 1.91 × 10-5 mol·L-1)
of 5.5’-DI were (5.01, 5.24 and 6.14) × 10-4 g·g-1; for Co = 3.02 × 10-5 mol·L-1 (0.93, 1.01 and 1.03) × 10-3 g·g
