Chitosan–Terephthalic Acid–Magnetic Composite Beads for Effective Removal of the Acid Blue Dye from Aqueous Solutions: Kinetics, Isotherm, and Statistical Modeling
Abstract:A terephthalic acid-modified chitosan−magnetic nanocomposite (Cs− Tp@Fe 3 O 4 ) was synthesized and characterized. The synthesized Cs−Tp@Fe 3 O 4 was used in a batch process for the adsorptive removal of the acid blue 25 (AB-25) dye in aqueous solutions. The kinetic data were subjected to the pseudo-first-order, pseudosecond-order, Elovich, and intra-particle diffusion models, while the equilibrium data were evaluated with the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin−Radushkevich isotherm models. The effects … Show more
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.
