Coupled Adsorption-Photocatalytic Degradation of Crystal Violet under Sunlight Using Chemically Synthesized Grafted Sodium Alginate/zno/graphene Oxide Composite.
International journal of biological macromolecules(2018)
摘要
This research aimed to synthesize natural polymer nanocomposite and employ it for coupled adsorption-photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet. Sodium alginate-g-poly (acrylicacid-co-cinnamic acid) and its composites with ZnO nanorods and graphene oxide sheets were synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM and DR/UV-vis spectroscopy. The adsorption efficiency of samples for crystal violet has been studied in the dark. The effect of different parameters as pH, initial dye concentration, contact time and temperature on the adsorption efficiency of the synthesized sample has been examined. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption of all samples was well described by the pseudo-second order model and the equilibrium adsorption results fitted Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity achieved at pH 5.0 was 13.85 mgg(-1). Thermodynamic studies exhibited that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic in nature and leads to higher entropy. Coupled adsorption-photocatalytic degradation studies under sunlight showed an enhancement in the removal efficiency by 10%. In the case of sodium alginate-g-poly (acrylicacid-co -cinnamic acid)/ZnO/graphene oxide composite, the removal efficiency after 5 h under sunlight was 94% versus 84% in the dark.
