Graphical abstract
Introduction
The growing demand for adsorbents used in environmental protection processes, particularly wastewater treatment, and the high cost of the usual sorbent, has led scientific researchers to look for new low-cost sorbents [1]. So, there is a huge part of raw materials like diverted lingo cellulosic (wheat shells [2], coconut shells [3], orange peel, banana peel [4], pits of olives [5], apricot stone [6], coffee grounds [7], pine cone [8]) which can be used as sorbent. An important quantity of palm wastes is generated every year which constitute a significant source of agricultural waste, with an important economic value. The use of a mixture of palm waste (MPW) in the treatment of water as an available organic material can be an interesting way of valorization of these materials.
Many industries, such as textile industries reject toxic organic compounds in the rivers which cause ecological problems; these compounds are structurally very different each other, which constitute a real difficulty to eliminate them by the classic methods of decontamination such as coagulation, biological treatment, membrane technology, oxidation, photodegradation and adsorption [9]. The adsorption by activated carbon is the most effective method of water's discoloration, but, remain inadequate because of its high cost [10], [11], [12]. Agricultural waste can be used to substitute activated carbon. For that, this work is carried out to valorize different part of palm wastes and improve the capacity of adsorption by mixing palm leaves (PL), palm bark (BP) and date seeds (DS). Dates seeds have an important specific area [13] and it can be also used in other valuable application like coffee, cosmetic products and the livestock feeding.
In this work, a local material which is the mixture of palm waste (MPW) is evaluated as adsorbent for the elimination of two dyes (methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO)). A characterization of this material will be realized in the first step. In the second step, experimental design methodology is used for optimizing the operational parameters affecting the elimination process of dyes. Finally, The kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption will be optimized. The second part is devoted to the study of adsorption in a continuous process (on a fixed bed column) to compare the removal efficiency of dye in the static and dynamic system onto different palm waste.

Adsorbents
The adsorbent used was a mixture of palm waste (MPW) including (60% of date seeds (DS), 20% of palm's leaves (PL) and 20% of palm's bark (PB)). It was collected from Errachidia in Morocco. The palm waste was washed with distilled water, to remove dirt particles than was air dried. The different parts of the palm waste were crushed separately into small pieces, powdered into particles of small sizes and finally mixed. The mixture sieved into particle size 0.5 µm.

Interpretation of X-ray diffractogram
Fig. 3 represents the diffractogram of the different palm waste.
The diffractograms of the raw date seeds (DS), palm leaves, palm bark and the mixture of these materials don't present a line of the horizontal basic line. This shows that the major part of the materials is amorphous. However, some pics of the emerging line of base diffraction indicating the presence of a small quantity of crystalline material. For date seeds, we found the peaks at 15.07°, 20.48° and 24.52 corresponding to the
Conclusion
In this study, the methodology of experimental design was used to optimize the MB and MO removal by a MPW. The interaction between operational variables for the treatment optimization process, such as the mass of adsorbent, the concentration of dye and the pH was investigated. Statistical analysis of the interaction of model response was investigated. The majority of the effects are significant on the removal of dyes by adsorption process. The p–value of this model was lower than the 0.05 (for

2023, Materials Science for Energy TechnologiesExtraction and characterization of cellulosic nanocrystals from stems of the reed plant large-leaved cattail (Typha latifolia)
2023, Materials Today: ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :A spike can be clearly rough observed at 261 °C on the left side of the main peak of the DTG curve of the raw sample, which was due to the initial decomposition of hemicellulose and non-cellulosic components, while the enlargement at 245 °C on the DTG curve of the microfibers could be an indicator of a broad molecular weight distribution of cellulose or a residual hemicellulose content that resisted the extraction proceedings. Finally, the formation of a carbonized residue occurred (46 % for the raw sample and 42 % for the cellulosic microfibers) [27]. The higher carbonized residue of the raw sample is due to the fact that the non-cellulosic components could induce a higher char formation.
Evaluation of mass transfer in packed column for competitive adsorption of Tartrazine and brilliant blue FCF: A statistical analysis
2022, Results in EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Rice husk and husk ash are, owing to their chemical stability, high mechanical resistance, and granular structure, very efficient adsorbent materials and, therefore, widely used [9,10]. There are also studies on static adsorption systems with corn silk [13], coconut mesocarp, and wood sawdust [14], in addition to palm residues in dynamic systems for the adsorption of dyes [15]. There is a growing trend as regards the use of adsorbents from activated agro-industrial residues or those converted into coal and ashes, but this leads to higher operating costs [9,12].
