Abstract
Copper chitosan attached to a magnetic synthetic nonwoven textile was manufactured using a simple, rapid, and green procedure employing chitosan dissolved in diluted acetic acid and treatment with copper sulfate solution. The prepared copper–chitosan-modified textile exhibited peroxidase-mimetic activity which was subsequently used for the degradation (decolorization) of important organic dyes, namely methylene blue, Congo red, and Bismarck brown Y, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. After 5 h of treatment at 22 °C, 87.5%, 79.5%, and 87.7% dye removal were observed for methylene blue, Congo red, and Bismarck brown Y, respectively. The textile bound catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture after the process is completed.
