dc.description.abstractIn industry, the use of dyes that threaten human health is increasing day by day. RB 19 (Reactive Blue 19, Remazol brilliant blue R), one of the most common dyes that adversely affect natural life, is the subject of this article. In this article, the waste parts of the hemp plant (root, stem and other) were evaluated for use in scientific studies. Hemp wastes were carbonised at 500 degrees C at a heating rate of 10 degrees C/min for 1 hour in the N2 atmosphere. Chemical activation was then carried out with 1:4 potassium hydroxide (KOH) at 800 degrees C under the same conditions. Activated carbon (AC) used as an adsorbent was characterised by elemental analysis (73.3% C, 0.3% H, 0.46% N, 0.02% S and 25.92% O), XRD, SEM, BET and FT-IR analysis. Activated carbon (AC) with 850 mu m size, 1858.70 m2/g surface area was obtained by chemical activation of carbonised hemp waste with KOH. SEM images showed that the activated carbon is structurally similar to a honeycomb. Kinetic parameters were analysed with six different equations (Intra Particle Diffusion, Pseudo First, Pseudo Second, Elovich, Avrami, Bangham) and adsorption mechanism with eight different equations (Henry, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Koble-Corrigan, Flory-Huggins, Harkin-Jura). According to the calculated diffusion coefficient (19.299), it is concluded that diffusion is externally controlled. The Intra-Particle Diffusion constant (75.34) indicated that the outer adsorption layer of activated carbon was thick. When the correlation coefficients of the equations were examined according to the kinetic analysis results, the highest correlation coefficient was observed in the Pseudo-First kinetic model for all temperatures. However, it was determined that it also fits the Bangham and Avrami models. Since Bangham and Avrami models have high regression coefficients (0.96-0.99), it can be said that adsorption also fits these models. Also, the negative Gibbs Free Energy values indicate that adsorption can occur spontaneously and is thermodynamically favourable.
