Experimentally and theoretically approaches for disperse red 60 dye adsorption on novel quaternary nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive study that combined both experimental and computational experiments was performed to evaluate the usage of organo-metal oxide nanocomposite for the elimination of disperse red 60 dye (DR) from aqueous solutions. Chitosan was modified by Schiff base to form nanoneedles chitosan-4-chloroacetophenone derivative. The derivatives were then impregnated with CeO₂-CuO-Fe₂O₃ or CeO₂-CuO-Al₂O₃ metal oxides to prepare a novel quarternary organo-metal oxide nanocomposite. The novel nanocomposite, chitosan-4-chloroacetophenone/CeO₂-CuO-Fe₂O₃ (CF) and chitosan-4-chloroacetophenone/CeO₂-CuO-Al₂O₃ (CA) are cheap and effective nano adsorbents that can be used f
