In this study, magnetite nanoparticles, chitosan, and a hybrid composite of magnetite/ chitosan were prepared through a simple method. The prepared materials were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Vibrating sample magnetometer, Laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and Zeta potential. Then, the adsorption capacity of these materials for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and chrysoidine removal were also determined in the same condition. Prepared materials have the ability to adsorb selectivity with 2,4-D and chrysoidine. There results show the potential application of hybrid composite magnetite/chitosan in developing efficient adsorbent in low cost in the field of environmental treatment.
In this study, graphene oxide was prepared by the modified Hummers method, and then iron oxide nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of graphene oxide by hydrothermal method. After synthesis, these materials were characterized via a number of physical methods: X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX). The results show that the iron oxide particles were synthesized with nano-size, and the material after modified by graphene oxide still retains the magnetism. These materials continue to be evaluated the for removing methylene blue and Congo red in the water. The results show that the synthesized composite materials can selectively adsorb methylene blue and Congo red, thereby showing the potential application of magnetic composite materials in the field of wastewater treatment.
In this paper, the hydrotalcite Mg-Al/CO3 material was synthesized successfully with an Mg/Al molar ratio of 2:1 by the co-precipitation method. SEM images, XRD patterns and FTIR Spectra and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectra (EDX) of the material were analyzed. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and kinetic models of the phosphate adsorption process on the hydrotalcite material Mg-Al/CO3 were investigated. The experimental data were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. The phosphate adsorption on the material was well fitted to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 46.95 mg/g with the material sample was calcined at 600oC. The kinetic data obtained at different concentrations have been analyzed using a pseudo-first-order and a pseudo-second-order equation. The experimental data fitted very well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
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.
