Cationic Dye Removal Using Novel Magnetic/Activated Charcoal/?-Cyclodextrin/Alginate Polymer Nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: New magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4)/activated charcoal (AC)/?-cyclodextrin (CD)/sodium alginate (Alg) polymer nanocomposite materials were prepared by direct mixing of the polymer matrix with the nanofillers. The obtained materials were utilized as nano-adsorbents for the elimination of methylene blue (MB), a hazardous water-soluble cationic dye, from aqueous solutions, and showed excellent regeneration capacity. The formation of the nanocomposites was followed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and adsorption of N2 at -196 °C. The rate of adsorption was investigated varying several factors, namely contact time, pH, amount of adsorbent and MB concentration on the adsorption process. Studies dealing with equilibrium and kinetics were carried out in batch conditions. The obtained results indicated that the removal rate of MB was 99.53% in 90 min. Langmuir's isotherm fitted better to the equilibrium data of MB. Fe3O4/AC/CD/Alg polymer beads shows amazing adsorption capacities in the elimination of cationic dyes (2.079 mg/g for polymer gel beads and 10.63 mg g-1 for dry powder beads), in comparison to other adsorbent materials. The obtained adsorbent is spherical with hydrophobic cross-linked surface properties that enable an easy recovery without any significant weight loss of in the adsorbent used.

Project description:Water pollution, driven by the discharge of dyes from industrial processes, poses a significant environmental and health hazard worldwide. Methylene blue, a common dye, constitutes particular concern due to its persistence and toxicity. Conventional wastewater treatment methods often struggle to effectively remove such contaminants. In this study, we introduce a novel approach utilizing a polysulfone-based composite membrane incorporating pretreated jute fibers and copper nanoparticles for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The pretreated jute fibers undergo alkali and hydrogen peroxide treatments to enhance their adsorption capabilities, while copper nanoparticles are incorporated into the membrane to bolster its antimicrobial properties. Through comprehensive characterization techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we confirm the structural and chemical properties of the composite membranes. Batch adsorption studies reveal the superior performance of the composite membrane compared with individual components. Specifically, at lower methylene blue concentrations (∼20 ppm), the composite membrane demonstrates a remarkable percent removal value of about 97%, while at higher concentrations (∼100 ppm), the percent removal remains substantial at 85%. Additionally, desorption studies elucidate the retention capacity of the adsorbed dye, indicating the feasibility of the composite membrane for practical applications in wastewater treatment. These findings underscore the potential of nanocomposite-fiber membranes as sustainable and cost-effective solutions for mitigating water pollution. By harnessing advancements in nanotechnology and materials science, the presented innovative composite membranes could offer promising avenues for addressing water pollution challenges and promoting environmental sustainability.
