Design of a Composite Based on Polyamide Fabric-Hydrogel-Zinc Oxide Particles to Act as Adsorbent and Photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Surface-initiated photopolymerization has been run to synthesize a hydrogel with ZnO particles distributed uniformly along its structure, which has been loaded onto a polyamide fabric. Three samples have been obtained at different concentrations of zinc nitrate (10% (sample PA10); 20% (sample PA20) and 30% (sample PA30) of the weight of the fabric, respectively)) and subjected to gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of the adsorption parameters of the composite material on the removal Drimaren Rot K-7B dye from water has been studied. The Freundlich isotherm describes this process better than the Langmuir isotherm. As the results of the adsorption kinetics show, the process fits well with a pseudo-second-order equation and depe
