Abstract

Herein, MnFe2O4 binary oxides, including various percentages of Fe3O4 were synthesized using the chemical co-precipitation method. In order to determine the physicochemical properties, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analyses were used. Adsorbent dosage, pH of the solution, contact time, and adsorbate concentration were optimized during the adsorption process. It was found that the Langmuir isotherm model is the best kinetic model for adsorption. Finally, the mean adsorption energy, reproducibility, and spontaneity of the adsorbent were also estimated, which showed that the physical adsorption mechanism is dominant.
