Response surface methodology, and artificial neural network model for removal of textile dye Reactive Yellow 105 from wastewater using Zeolitic Imidazolate-67 modified by FeO nanoparticles.

The applicability of Zeolitic Imidazolate-67, Modified by FeO Nanoparticles, was studied for removing textile dye Reactive yellow 105 from wastewater by adsorption method using response surface methodology (RSM). For the adsorption characterization of the adsorbent used in HE-4G dye adsorption, BET, FTIR, XRD, and SEM analyses were performed. The impacts of variables, including initial HE-4G dye concentration (), pH (), adsorbent dosage (), and sonication time (), the highest removal efficiency as 98%, 10 mg/L initial concentration, pH 6, 0.025 g adsorbent dosage, and 6.0 min time respectively. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data it, that data were for the Langmuir isotherm, pseudo-second-order kinetics, and maximum adsorption capacity (105.0 mg/g), respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicated HE-4G dye adsorption is feasible, spontaneous and exothermic. Promising treatment capabilities of the ZIF-67-FeONPs have been during the comparative adsorption removal of HE-4G dye from DI water against spiked natural water samples and synthetic Na, K, Ca, and Mg solutions. The observed outcome is the suitability of the artificial neural network model as a tool for mean square error, (MSE = 0.53, and = 0.9926) for removing HE-4G dye. Results that ZIF-67-FeONPs, like being recyclable, and cost-efficient made it a promising absorbent for wastewater.
