The presence of synthetic dyes in water causes serious environmental issues owing to the low water quality, toxicity to environment and human carcinogenic effects. Adsorption has emerged as simple and environmental benign processes for wastewater treatment. This work reports the use of porous Fe-based composites as adsorbents for Acid Red 66 dye removal in an aqueous solution. The porous FeC and Fe/FeC solids were prepared by hydrothermal methods using iron sulfates and sucrose as precursors. The physicochemical properties of the solids were evaluated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy coupled with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared s (FTIR), Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopies, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and magnetic saturation techniques. Results indicated that the Fe species holds magnetic properties and formed well dispersed FeO nanoparticles on a carbon layer in FeC nanocomposite. Adding iron to the previous solid resulted in the formation of γ-FeO coating on the FeC type structure as in Fe/FeC composite. The highest dye adsorption capacity was 15.5 mg·g for FeC nanocomposite at 25 °C with the isotherms fitting well with the Langmuir model. The removal efficiency of 98.4% was obtained with a pristine Fe sample under similar experimental conditions.
水中合成染料的存在会导致严重的环境问题,这是由于水质差、对环境有毒性以及对人类有致癌作用。吸附已成为一种简单且环境友好的废水处理工艺。这项工作报道了使用多孔铁基复合材料作为吸附剂,用于去除水溶液中的酸性红66染料。多孔FeC和Fe/FeC固体通过水热法制备,使用硫酸铁和蔗糖作为前驱体。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜结合能谱仪(SEM-EDS)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼光谱和穆斯堡尔光谱、氮气吸附-脱附等温线、电子顺磁共振(EPR)和磁饱和技术对固体的物理化学性质进行了评估。结果表明,铁物种具有磁性,并且在FeC纳米复合材料的碳层上形成了分散良好的FeO纳米颗粒。在之前的固体中添加铁会导致在FeC型结构上形成γ-FeO涂层,如在Fe/FeC复合材料中那样。在25°C时,FeC纳米复合材料对染料的最高吸附容量为15.5 mg·g,等温线与朗缪尔模型拟合良好。在类似的实验条件下,原始铁样品的去除效率为98.4%。
