Abstract
In this study, nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized using the Pechini sol-gel method and modified with sodium docusate surfactant. The modified nanoparticles showed an enhanced adsorption capacity of 384.62mg/g for crystal violet dye, compared to 237.53mg/g for unmodified NiFe2O4. Characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The adsorption process was spontaneous, exothermic, and followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Optimal conditions for maximum dye removal were achieved at pH 10, 50min, and 298K. Additionally, the synthesized adsorbents demonstrated excellent regeneration and reusability over five adsorption-desorption cycles with minimal efficiency loss.
