Removal of Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solutions by Ferromagnetic Fe/Ni Nanoparticles

Authors

Abstract:

Herein, the removal of methyl orange (MO), a monoazo dye, from aqueous solutions was investigated using bimetallic ferromagnetic Fe/Ni nanoparticles (NPs) with the average particle size of 12-16 nm. The effect of contact time, pH, temperature, and Fe/Ni dosage on dye removal process was investigated. The results showed that 60 mg of Fe/Ni NPs at 25 oC and pH= 1 can remove 99.5% of 50 mg/L dye solution within 15 min. The MO removal follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics with the rate constant of 0.4114 g mg-1 min-1. The chromophore structure of the dye was broken down in the presence of Fe/Ni NPs. The Fe/Ni NPs were prepared by simple co-reduction method and characterized by several techniques including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, scanning tunneling microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer.NPs.

Removal of natural organic matter from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation

Natural organic matter (NOM) affects some qualitative parameters of water such as color. In addition, it can deteriorate the performance of water treatment process including coagulation, adsorption, and membranes. NOM also reacts with chlorine in the chlorination process and may form disinfection by-products. The present study was carried out in laboratory-scale in a batch system using a cylind...
