Abstract :
Background and objective: Each year about billion tons of dyes from textile and dyeing industry are discharged in the wastewater, which they are the most dangerous chemicals. Then removing this dyes from wastewater requires proper treatment before being released into the environment. The aim of this study is to evaluate and determine the possibility of using absorbent obtained from the Fe3O4-Oak as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution.
Material and Methodology: FTIR analysis was used to investigate the presence of magnetite iron in the oak structure. In these tests, a batch system was used for the absorption process. The effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of dye and time as key parameters were evaluated. Also, the isotherm models were used to study the experimental adsorption data.
Findings: The results that increasing pH increases the removal rate and the highest adsorption was obtained at pH 7. The Langmuir, Freundlich, temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models were used to evaluate experimental data and obtained results indicated that the Langmuir isotherm and Dubinin–Radushkevich models is better than other models with data obtained. Finally, the results of this study indicate that used absorbent have high efficiency for removal of methylene blue. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model well depicted the kinetics of dyes adsorption on adsorbent.
Discussion and Conclusion: This study has been showed that the present adsorbent has a good case for removing dye from wastewater and also, having the magnetic property of the adsorbent will cause more rapid regeneration.
