Sorption is a very effective methodology used to remove dyes from aqueous effluents. In this work, fish scales of Robalo (Dicentrarchus labrax) were used as a new adsorbent for the removal of a cationic dye (AZM) from aqueous solutions. The scales were characterized by TG/DTG, DSC, FTIR, XRD, SEM, RAMAN, solid-state reflectance spectrofotometry and zero-charge pH of the scales (pHpcz). The results have indicated that the Robalo scales are formed by type I collagen and hydroxyapatite, with pHpcz ~ 7,0. Kinetic studies were performed to evaluate the influence of contact time and temperature on the sorption behavior of the scale-AZM sorption processes. In general, the sorption of AZM on Robalo scales decreases as temperature increases. The kinetic data were best fitted to the Avrami exponential kinetic model, and the equilibrium sorption data to the Sips model. The values of the variations of enthalpy (ΔH), Gibbs free energies (ΔG) and entropy (ΔS) were calculated. It was observed that the scale-AZM processes are exothermic in nature, thermodynamically spontaneous with negative entropy variations. Solution calorimetry results have indicated that the sorption energies change in relation to the progressive occupation of the AZM sorption sites on Robalo scales. The results from both characterization and sorption studies have indicated that the interactions of scale-AZM have occurred mainly by the organic phase of the scales. The Robalo scales have shown excellent features to be used as a new and promising adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions.
