Abstract
In the current article di-aldehyde alginate (DAA) crosslinking gelatin (Ge) hydrogel was prepared and investigated for stabilizing silver nanoparticles. DAA/Ge decorated silver nanoparticles hydrogel was characterized by IR, XRD, TGA, SEM and AFM. The outcomes demonstrate that silver nanoparticles with uniform sizes were homogenously distributed through DAA/Ge hydrogel. DAA/Ge decorated silver nanocomposite was examined for the rejection of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. Comparing with DAA/Ge hydrogel, the nanocomposite has high efficiency for removal of MB. The highest MB removal efficiency was observed at pH 7 and the adsorption process is well described by pseudo-second order and Langmuir adsorption model with adsorption capacity of 625 mg/g. Our results proved that the DAA/Ge/Ag nanocomposite could be used for removal of MB from decontaminated solutions.
