Abstract

This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of magnetic zeolite (FSM-Zeo) using starch, magnesium oxide, and Fe3O4. Various analyses, including BET, FTIR, SEM, EDS, XRD, Zeta potential, and VSM, were conducted to assess the properties of FSM-Zeo. The adsorption capacity of FSM-Zeo was investigated for methyl violet (MV-2B) and direct black 22 (DB-22) in both single and binary dye solutions. Key parameters such as adsorbent amount, initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature, initial pH, and ionic strength were examined in the single system. Kinetic and isotherm studies revealed that DB-22 and MV-2B adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, Freundlich and Langmuir models were confirmed for MV-2B and DB-22 adsorption on FSM-Zeo, respectively. In the binary system, the presence of MV-2B enhanced the adsorption of DB-22, resulting in higher removal compared to the single dye solution. A synergistic effect was observed due to the interaction between DB-22 and MV-2B, promoting the adsorption of DB-22 on FSM-Zeo.
