Silver Nanoparticles Loaded Activated Carbon Synthesis Using Clitorea Ternatea Extract for Crystal Violet Dye Removal

Abstract

Dyes are coloured compound which are widely used in textile, painting, rubber, cosmetics, plastics and leather industry to colour their products. However, the irresponsibility of certain manufacturer results in producing dye waste and channel it to water resources had become one of the biggest challenges in water pollution. In this study, an effective solid adsorbent derived from sustainable sources for adsorption capacity study was produced which is silver nanoparticles loaded activated carbon (Ag NPs – AC) to remove crystal violet (CV) dye. Adsorption process are cost – effective, simple and flexible with various dye pollutants. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was synthesized from Clitorea Ternatea flower extract that utilizes functions as stabilizing agents for silver nitrate (AgNO3) to promotes environmental friendly with no toxic chemicals produced and loaded in activated carbon (AC). Characterization of Ag NPs was analysed using UV-Visible which correspond to peak at 408 nm and XRD analysis. Four peaks values for silver at 2θ of 38.19°, 44.43°, 64.57°, 77.43° and average crystallite size of Ag NPs and Ag NPs – AC were calculated to be 16.11 nm and 36.13 nm respectively that were obtained from XRD pattern. The adsorption capacity of Ag NPs – AC was analysed and the optimum conditions were determined using different parameters which are the Ag NPs - AC ratio (1.0 g), contact time (240 min), adsorbent dosage (30 mg) and pH of CV dye (10). The highest percentage removal of CV dye using Ag NPs – AC was recorded up to 97% at 240 min with 30 mg dosage. Ag NPs – AC as adsorbent is a promising advanced materials in removing water pollutants with viable conditions and can applied in the wastewater treatment industry.

Synthesis of Iron Nanoparticles Using Psidium guajava Leaf Extract and It’s Role in Crystal Violet Dye Removal

“…The contact period's equilibrium duration of 60 min has been chosen in order to facilitate future research on the adsorption of PG-FeNP with other parameters. The gradual shift in dye removal percentage after 60 minutes is caused by a decreasing concentration gradient and diffusion rate with an increase in contact duration [8].…”

“…[2]. The precipitate is then dried in a vacuum at 65°C after centrifuging at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

The Effect of Preparation Method on Anthocyanin Contents from Lpomoe Batatas (L.) Lam as Intelligent PH Indicator

“…Anthocyanin is a type of plant-based natural dye with various application. Anthocyanin had been used as nanoparticles synthesizing agent [7] and active ingredients in conventional herbal remedies [8] and functional food [9]. Meanwhile, as pH indicator, properties such as non-toxicity, water solubility, visibility to human eye, calorimetric pH sensitivity, anthocyanin-rich extracts were increasingly being used in the food business as replacement for synthetic pH indicator like FD&C Red No.40 (Allure red) [10].…”

Q-Switched Erbium-Doped Fiber Laser Generation using Titanium Aluminum Carbonitride Ti3Al(C0.5N0.5)2 Saturable Absorber

“…Nanomaterials have numerous advantages over traditional materials due to their unique properties at the nanoscale which include enhanced properties, improved performance, increased efficiency, better durability, and reduced waste. Overall, nanomaterials have a wide range of applications and are being increasingly used in many areas of science and technology [5][6][7]. From the perspective of photonics, the 2D nanomaterial based SAs have aroused great interest recently due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties and strong quantum confinement.…”
