Abstract

Magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (Fe3O4-CS MNPs) were synthesized by an improved one-pot hydrothermal method and applied for azo dye amido black 10B adsorption. The Fe3O4-CS MNPs were characterized by SEM, TEM, DLS, XRD, FTIR, TGA and VSM. The adsorptive behavior of amido black 10B on Fe3O4-CS MNPs was investigated using the UV-vis specteophotometric technique and the affecting parameters including solution pH, contact time, amido black 10B concentration and Fe3O4-CS MNPs amount were examined. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model with the saturated adsorption capacity of 124.8 mg/g at pH=2.0. The desorption experiment could be carried out using NaOH with the recovery of 91.78%. After five cycles, adsorption efficiency still reached 83.24%. The results showed that Fe3O4-CS MNPs possessed a simple synthesis route and excellent reusability, which have potential application in the adsorption of azo dye in environmental effluents.
