Preparation, characterization and application of CS@PDA@Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite as a new magnetic nano-adsorber for the removal of metals and dyes in wastewater.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop a novel magnetic chitosan/dopamine/Fe₃O₄ nano-adsorber (CS@PDA@Fe₃O₄) for the removal of heavy metal ions and organic dye molecules from aqueous solution. CS@PDA@Fe₃O₄ was prepared by surface modification of PDA/Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with chitosan using IPTES as the cross-linker. The surface structure, composition, and properties of the CS@PDA@Fe₃O₄ nano-adsorber were characterized by elemental (EDS), spectroscopic (XRD, XPS, and FT-IR), magnetic intensity (VSM), surface and morphological (TEM and SEM) analyses. In order to study its adsorption behavior, equilibrium and kinetics studies were carried out through batch experiments. Additionally, the influences of the pH value, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time were also evaluated. The CS@PDA@Fe₃O₄ nano-adsorber exhibited high adsorption capacity especially for Cu(ii), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 419.6 mg g^-1. The experimental data were well described by the Langmuir isotherm kinetic models.

Project description:With the rapid advancement of the dye and textile industry, there has been increasing concern regarding the contamination of wastewater with dyes and its potential influence on human health. Therefore, the removal of dye pollutants from wastewater has become a matter of significant importance. In this study, a magnetically responsive iminodiacetic acid-functionalized graphene oxide (IDA-GO@Fe3O4) nanocomposite was utilized for the adsorption of both cationic and anionic dyes. The IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and thoroughly characterized using several analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR, TGA and BET analysis. The prepared magnetic nanocomposite had a much higher thermal stability than pure graphene oxide. The negatively charged surface of the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite made it an excellent candidate for removing cationic dyes. The effects of various factors, including pH, initial concentration (isotherms), amount of adsorbent, and contact time (kinetics), on adsorption efficiency were investigated. The optimal conditions for the removal of methylene blue were determined to be 0.005 g of adsorbent, a pH of 10, and a contact time of 160 minutes. In contrast, the optimal conditions for the removal of methylene orange were found to be 0.005 g of adsorbent, a pH of 2, and a contact time of 120 minutes. Experimental data shows that the adsorption capacity for MB is reported as 437.10 mg g-1 at pH 10, while for MO it is 165.65 mg g-1 at pH 2. Furthermore, the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The proposed adsorption mechanism of MB and MO dyes onto the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite involve various interactions, such as electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, n-π, and π-π interactions. Importantly, the IDA-GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite exhibited outstanding recyclability, retaining its effectiveness even after five successive cycles for MB. This suggests a straightforward method for developing high-performance IDA-GO@Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites for efficient wastewater purification and environmental remediation applications.

Project description:Water scarcity is now a serious global issue resulting from population growth, water decrease, and pollution. Traditional wastewater treatment plants are insufficient and cannot meet the basic standards of water quality at reasonable cost or processing time. In this paper we report the preparation, characterization and multiple applications of an efficient photocatalytic nanocomposite (CoxNi1-xFe2O4; x = 0.9/SiO2/TiO2/C-dots) synthesized by a layer-by-layer method. Then, the photocatalytic capabilities of the synthesized nanocomposite were extensively-studied against aqueous solutions of chloramine-T trihydrate. In addition, reaction kinetics, degradation mechanism and various parameters affecting the photocatalytic efficiency (nanocomposite dose, chloramine-T initial concentration, and reaction pH) were analyzed in detail. Further, the antimicrobial activities of the prepared nanocomposite were tested and the effect of UV-activation on the antimicrobial abilities of the prepared nanocomposite was analyzed. Finally, a comparison between the antimicrobial abilities of the current nanocomposite and our previously-reported nanocomposite (CoxNi1-xFe2O4; x = 0.9/SiO2/TiO2) had been carried out. Our results revealed that the prepared nanocomposite possessed a high degree of crystallinity, confirmed by XRD, while UV-Vis. recorded an absorption peak at 299 nm. In addition, the prepared nanocomposite possessed BET-surface area of (28.29 ± 0.19 m2/g) with narrow pore size distribution. Moreover, it had semi-spherical morphology, high-purity and an average particle size of (19.0 nm). The photocatalytic degradation efficiency was inversely-proportional to chloramine-T initial concentration and directly proportional to the photocatalyst dose. In addition, basic medium (pH 9) was the best suited for chloramine-T degradation. Moreover, UV-irradiation improved the antimicrobial abilities of the prepared nanocomposite against E. coli, B. cereus, and C. tropicalis after 60 min. The observed antimicrobial abilities (high ZOI, low MIC and more efficient antibiofilm capabilities) were unique compared to our previously-reported nanocomposite. Our work offers significant insights into more efficient water treatment and fosters the ongoing efforts looking at how pollutants degrade the water supply and the disinfection of water-borne pathogenic microorganisms.

Project description:The formation of binary nanohybrids consisting of environmentally benign components, γ-Fe2O3, chitosan (CS), and Ag (Ag-γ-Fe2O3@CS) (CSIOAg), containing very low concentration of Ag NPs (≤1.2 μM), has been reported. In the as-synthesized nanohybrids, the presence of γ-Fe2O3 (8.5 ± 0.8 nm) and Ag (5.9 ± 0.5 nm) are revealed by optical, XRD, TEM, and XPS analyses, and their presence in cubic phase is determined by XRD and SAED measurements. The catalytic activity of CSIOAg has been analyzed by performing the reduction of certain toxic dyes. Under all kinetic conditions, the reaction is attended by an induction period, which is reduced upon increasing [Ag] and [Dye] in a specific concentration range, as well as temperature, suggesting restructuring of the surface prior to reduction. In case of methyl orange (MO), the reduction results in its cleavage to produce N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine and sodium sulfanilate in a significantly higher (>97%) yield in a bimolecular reaction between MO and BH4 -. The duration of induction period is regularly decreased and the rate of reduction (k app) increases linearly with increasing Ag in the wide concentration range (0.03-2.4 μM). The reduction takes place with a second-order rate constant of 2.7 × 104 dm3 mol-1 s-1, which is >3.5-fold higher than that in the absence of chitosan (IOAg) under identical experimental conditions. The kinetics of reduction of MO is controlled by the nature and extent of its adsorption on the catalyst surface. The weaker binding between MO and Ag catalyst only allows its effective reduction. The XPS analysis of CSIOAg and IOAg containing the same amount of Ag (1.2 μM) showed its higher amount on the surface of CSIOAg (0.12%) as compared to that of IOAg (0.09%). Detailed kinetic analysis of MO reduction, performed under pseudo-kinetic conditions for both the nanohybrids revealed them to follow Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model and exhibited the recyclability up to 10 cycles with fairly high reaction efficiency and TOF, suggesting it to be a sustainable green nanosystem.
