Abstract
In this investigation, the color removal from synthetic wastewaters containing Acid Blue 29 (AB 29) dye was investigated by ZnF-based nanomaterials (ZnFe2O4) synthesized by the coprecipitation method in a batch system. SEM, FT–IR, and XRD analysis were used for the characterization of the nanoparticles (before and after adsorption), and the analysis results were compared with each other. The parameters such as pH, temperature, dye concentration, and nanoparticle dosage affecting color removal were examined systematically, and favorable color removal conditions were determined by the classical approach. From the experimental results, the favorable conditions with high removal efficiency for the adsorption were determined: removal temperature 35°C and the removal pH 2.0. At these experimental conditions, the adsorbed dye amount per unit mass of adsorbent and the percentage dye removal were determined as 1489.79 mg·g−1 and 98.83%, respectively. In the other part of the research, three different isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin) were used to examine the adsorption equilibrium data. Langmuir and especially Freundlich linear isotherm models provided the highest R2 regression coefficients, successfully. The kinetic data was evaluated by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic model approach. It was observed that pseudo-second-order kinetic model best represented AB 29-ZnF adsorption kinetic data. The determined thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG were proved that the AB 29-ZnF adsorption system was an exothermic (ΔH < 0), spontaneous, thermodynamically favorable (ΔG < 0), and stabilized system without any structural changes in sorbate and sorbents (ΔS<0).
