In Colombia, sugarcane represents the second product with a large area of cultivation. It is estimated that from sugar mills about 6 million tons of sugarcane bagasse, SCB, are produced, of which 5 million are inefficiently used for burning boilers. SCB is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, allowing its use as a potential adsorbent. Particularly, the aim of this work was to evaluate the viability of using SCB for the adsorption of basic red 46, BR46, in aqueous solution. The effect of factors such as point of zero charge, solution pH, particle size, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time and ionic strength was evaluated using a statistical design of experiments. A removal of 86.4 % was obtained and the further optimization of the process through a response surface design, allowed to achieve a maximum adsorption of 95.0 %. These results suggest SCB is a promising alternative of a non-conventional adsorbent that could be applied for treating dyed effluents.
En Colombia, la caña de azúcar representa el segundo cultivo con mayor extensión. Se estima que a partir de los ingenios azucareros se producen aproximadamente 6 millones de toneladas de bagazo de caña de azúcar, BCA, de los cuales 5 millones son utilizados ineficientemente para la quema de calderas. El BCA está compuesto principalmente por celulosa, hemicelulosa y lignina, posibilitando su uso como un potencial adsorbente. En particular, en esta investigación se evaluó la viabilidad del BCA para la remoción del rojo básico 46, RB46, en solución acuosa. El efecto de factores tales como el punto de carga cero, pH de la solución, tamaño de partícula, dosificación del adsorbente, concentración inicial del colorante, tiempo de contacto y fuerza iónica fueron evaluados a través de un diseño estadístico. Se obtuvo una remoción del 86.4% y la posterior optimización del proceso, a través un diseño de superficie de respuesta, permitió alcanzar una adsorción máxima del 95.0%. Estos resultados sugieren que el BCA representa una alternativa promisoria de un adsorbente no convencional que puede ser aprovechado para el tratamiento de efluentes coloreados.
