Application of Efficient Magnetic Particles and Activated Carbon for Dye Removal from Wastewater.

ABSTRACT: Since the turn of the 21st century, water pollution has been a major issue, and most of the pollution is generated by dyes. Adsorption is one of the most commonly used dye-removal methods from aqueous solution. Magnetic-particle integration in the water-treatment industry is gaining considerable attention because of its outstanding physical and chemical properties. Magnetic-particle adsorption technology shows promising and effective outcomes for wastewater treatment owing to the presence of magnetic material in the adsorbents that can facilitate separation through the application of an external magnetic field. Meanwhile, the introduction of activated carbon (AC) derived from various materials into a magnetic material can lead to efficient organic-dye removal. Therefore, this combination can provide an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly water-purification process. Although activated carbon from low-cost and abundant materials has considerable potential in the water-treatment industry, the widespread applications of adsorption technology are limited by adsorbent recovery and separation after treatment. This work specifically and comprehensively describes the use of a combination of a magnetic material and an activated carbon material for dye adsorption in wastewater treatment. The literature survey in this mini-review provides evidence of the potential use of these magnetic adsorbents, as well as their magnetic separation and recovery. Future directions and challenges of magnetic activated carbon in wastewater treatment are also discussed in this paper.

Project description:With the rapid advancement of the dye and textile industry, there has been increasing concern regarding the contamination of wastewater with dyes and its potential influence on human health. Therefore, the removal of dye pollutants from wastewater has become a matter of significant importance. In this study, a magnetically responsive iminodiacetic acid-functionalized graphene oxide (IDA-GO@Fe3O4) nanocomposite was utilized for the adsorption of both cationic and anionic dyes. The IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and thoroughly characterized using several analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR, TGA and BET analysis. The prepared magnetic nanocomposite had a much higher thermal stability than pure graphene oxide. The negatively charged surface of the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite made it an excellent candidate for removing cationic dyes. The effects of various factors, including pH, initial concentration (isotherms), amount of adsorbent, and contact time (kinetics), on adsorption efficiency were investigated. The optimal conditions for the removal of methylene blue were determined to be 0.005 g of adsorbent, a pH of 10, and a contact time of 160 minutes. In contrast, the optimal conditions for the removal of methylene orange were found to be 0.005 g of adsorbent, a pH of 2, and a contact time of 120 minutes. Experimental data shows that the adsorption capacity for MB is reported as 437.10 mg g-1 at pH 10, while for MO it is 165.65 mg g-1 at pH 2. Furthermore, the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The proposed adsorption mechanism of MB and MO dyes onto the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite involve various interactions, such as electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, n-π, and π-π interactions. Importantly, the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite exhibited outstanding recyclability, retaining its effectiveness even after five successive cycles for MB. This suggests a straightforward method for developing high-performance IDA-GO@Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites for efficient wastewater purification and environmental remediation applications.
