Endosulfan Elimination Using Amine-Modified Magnetic Diatomite as an Adsorbent

Abstract

Pesticides are among the most dangerous developing toxins since they are very hazardous to the environment and threaten human health. In this study, researchers successfully manufactured surface-modified magnetic diatomite (m-DE-APTES) and used them as a sorbent to extract endosulfan from an aqueous solution. There is no other study like it in the scholarly literature, and the results are astounding. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), electron spin resonance (ESR), and surface area measurements were used to analyze magnetic diatomite particles with surface modification. According to the analysis results, magnetic diatomite has a wide surface area and a porous structure. Furthermore, m-DE-APTES has a higher endosulfan adsorption capacity (97.2 mg g−1) than raw diatomite (DE) (16.6 mg g−1). Adsorption statistics agree with Langmuir adsorption isotherm (R2 = 0.9905), and the adsorption occurred spontaneously at −2.576 kj mol−1 in terms of ΔGo. Finally, m-DE-APTES are a viable alternative adsorbent for removing pesticides from aqueous solutions.

“…C 0 (mg/L) is the starting concentration, C e (mg/L) is the equilibrium concentration of contaminant, m (mg) is the adsorbent dosage added to the solution, and V (ml) is the volume of the solution 56,57 .…”

Bionanocomposite MIL-100(Fe)/Cellulose as a high-performance adsorbent for the adsorption of methylene blue

“…Equilibrium data, commonly recognized as adsorption isotherms, are applied to define the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption isotherms describe how the adsorbed molecules or ions interact with the adsorbent surface [37][38][39][40][41][42] . In this work, Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were applied to investigate the adsorption of MB dye by MIL-100/Cell using Eqs.…”

“…İlk aşamada KO adsorbentinden 10 g tartılarak 1.7 L distile su içinde 12 saat süreyle 150 rpm karıştırma hızı ile yıkanarak safsızılıklar giderildi (Alacabey 2006;Erol et al 2019;Alacabey 2022c). Ardından karışımımız sıvı ve katı fazların birbirinden ayrılmasına kadar oda sıcaklığında dinlenmeye bırakıldı.…”
