Opis

Porous magnetite Fe3O4 nanospheres (PMNs) are synthesized for removal from an aqueous solution of anionic dyes Acid Red 57 (AR57) and Remazol Red (RR) and are used as a high-performance adsorbent. Characterization of PMNs was carried out using various techniques, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the surface area measured by Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET), Spherical-shaped was determined by TEM and surface modification was calculated using electron microscopy (SEM) scanning. Variables such as initial pH, the dosage of adsorbent, contact time, and temperature were analyzed to find the optimal adsorption conditions for adsorption Acid Red 57 (AR57) and Remazol Red (RR) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption isotherm had been found to follow the Langmuir model for both dyes. The mean adsorption energy (Ea) is 20.24 and 31.3 kJmol-1 for AR57 and RR, respectively, indicating a chemisorption process. The adsorption kinetics had been found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption process was verified to be endothermic and spontaneous by thermodynamic studies. Using ethanol as a solvent, it was also studied the reusability of PMNs
