Abstract

Water is one of the most basic human needs, and dyes are one of the sources of water pollution. Since adsorption has proven to be effective in removing contaminants, it is the most widely used technique. In this adsorption, a LDH Zn-Al /magnetic biochar composite was used for dye removal. Zn-Al LDH, magnetic biochar, and LDH Zn-Al/biochar magnetic composite were successfully synthesized, based on XRD and FTIR studies. XRD analysis of the Zn-Al LDH material shows diffractions of (003), (006), (101), (012), (015), (107), and (110) around the 2theta angle at 10.29°, 20.07°, 29.59°, 32.12°, 34.02°, 48.06°, and 60.16° which are characteristic of LDH materials. In magnetic biochar and LDH Zn-Al/magnet biochar composites diffraction (220), (311), (422) and (440) at 2theta around 24.9°, 35°, 63° and 68.4° in these materials indicate the characteristics of carbon-based materials from biochar. FTIR analysis showed the appearance of a vibration peak at 1404cm−1 indicating the presence of C H groups contained in biochar. The characteristic double-layer hydroxy (M-O) vibrations below 1000 cm−1 also indicated that the composite preparation process had been successful. The study’s results show that cationic dyes are more easily adsorbed than anionic dyes. Specifically, the LDH Zn-Al/Magnetic Biochar composite more extensively absorbs the cationic dye malachite green.

Abstract

This study investigates the adsorption characteristics of phenol on rice husk biochar (BC) and microcrystalline cellulose (MC), with a focus on their structural, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic properties. XRD and FTIR analyses reveal that BC and MC possess similar carbon-based structures. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms highlight BC’s higher surface area and pore volume, which likely contribute to its superior adsorption performance. Adsorption kinetics are best described by the PSO model, indicating chemisorption as the rate-limiting step. Isotherm studies show that the Langmuir model provides a better fit, suggesting monolayer adsorption on homogeneous surfaces. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that phenol adsorption onto BC is endothermic and spontaneous, with adsorption capacity increasing with temperature, while MC shows minimal temperature sensitivity. The adsorption capacity of phenol using BC and MC was obtained as 28.50 mg/g and 13.25 mg/g, respectively. The reusability tests reveal that BC retains significant adsorption capacity over multiple cycles compared to MC. Overall, BC is identified as a more efficient and reusable adsorbent for phenol removal in aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Water pollution due to synthetic dye waste is a serious environmental problem, so an effective method is needed to overcome it, including using adsorption. In this study, Ni/Al-Cs materials were synthesized and characterized to evaluate their selectivity towards Rhodamine B (RhB), Malachite Green (MG), and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes. Adsorption selectivity tests were conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy to determine changes in dye concentration before and after interaction with the material. Results showed that Ni/Al-Cs had the highest adsorption capacity towards MG, followed by MB and RhB. With its selective adsorption properties, Ni/Al-Cs material has the potential to be used as an effective adsorbent in the treatment of dye effluents in aquatic environments, especially MG dye.
