Abstract

The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were prepared using the co-precipitation method. The magnetically modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were obtained by the same method. The magnetic nanoparticles were used as adsorbents for methyl orange (MO) removal from aqueous solutions. The surface properties of adsorbents were analyzed by XRD, TGA, FTIR, and SEM. The adsorption was carried out on batch type. The kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamics parameters were obtained by experimental results. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at pH 3 for both of the adsorbents. Theoretical adsorption capacities were found as 0.31 mg/g for SPION and 10.54 mg/g for MWCNT/SPION composites from Langmuir isotherm parameters. The MWCNT/SPION composites can adsorb 95% of methyl orange from water. The kinetic parameters and thermodynamic parameters were calculated.
