Adsorption of a textile dye from aqueous solutions by carbon nanotubes

Abstract: Multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes were used as adsorbents for the removal of Reactive Blue 4 textile dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterised using Raman spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of pH, agitation time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied. In the acidic pH region, the adsorption of the dye was favourable using both adsorbents. The contact time to obtain equilibrium isotherms … Show more

“…Therefore, the maximum adsorption capacities were 502.5 and 567.7 mg g -1 for MWCNT and SWCNT. The enthalpy (∆H°) of adsorption implied which adsorption was the process that was an endothermic and the consequence of enthalpy was consistent with an electrostatic interaction of an adsorbent with the dye [37].…”

“…It is so efficient of fading for many dyes. Afterwards, iron (Fe) (ll) or iron (Fe) (lll) oxalate ion, UV light and Hydrogen peroxide have received a focus of lightening for especially synthetic dyes [37][38][39]. But about of the silt generation is a major disadvantage of this technique through flocculation of molecules of dyes.…”

“…It is well known that the use of microwave route for the preparation of powdered catalysts presents as great advantages short synthesis time and production of high surface area particles, being this last characteristic of great importance for catalytic purposes 24,25 . NiFe 2 O 4 is a cubic oxide with a typical inverse spinel structure and has attracted much interest because of its fascinating magnetic and electromagnetic properties 26 , while the MWCNTs have attracted increasing research interest as dye adsorbent 27 , support for enzyme immobilization 28 and catalyst support 29 .…”

“…The most effi cient method used for the quickly removal of dyes from the aqueous solution is the physical adsorption [8]. Biosorbents, such as wood sawdust [9], waste-biomass [10], delonix regia [11], agricultural solid waste [12], are able to remove effi ciently the colour from water.…”
