Removal of methylene blue using MnO₂@rGO nanocomposite from textile wastewater: Isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics studies.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the adsorptive removal of methylene blue dye, which is commonly used in textile industries, was investigated using the MnO₂@reduced graphene oxide (rGO) adsorbent. The sonication-assisted synthesis from rGO nanosheets and MnO₂ nanoparticles resulted to the MnO₂@rGO nanocomposite with improved physicochemical properties. The characterization results showed the improved surface area, porous structure and adsorption sites from the nitrogen adsorption-desorption studies, improved morphology from the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and the improved crystal structure from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The improved physicochemical properties on the MnO₂@rGO nanocomposite played a significant
