The removals of Methyl violet from aqueous solutions using the double perovskites BaSr 2 NbO 5.5 are reported. The oxides were prepared using solid state reaction in which the raw materials were mixed initially by either acetone or water. The X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated that the preparation methods have influenced the cell volume, crystal size and surface area of the oxides. As consequence, the adsorption properties were also affected.The study showed that the prepared oxides have a cubic structure with crystallite size is less than 82 nm. However, the crystallite size of the oxide obtained by wet method (W) is higher than that of the oxide obtained by dry method (D). Consequently, the amounts of the dye adsorbed by BaSr 2 NbO 5.5 (D) were higher than those adsorbed by BaSr 2 NbO 5.5 (W). The maximum removal capacities of Methyl violet are found to be 8.71 and 9.39 mg/g using BaSr 2 NbO 5.5 (W) and BaSr 2 NbO 5.5 (D) respectively. The removals of the dye have positive relationship with pH, temperature, the specific surface area and the mass of the oxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
