Abstract
A novel sodium alginate-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acryl amide)/clinoptilolite hydrogel nanocomposite was prepared via free radical polymerization method, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. Grafting and component interactions were evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic method. Adsorption properties of the both hydrogel samples in the aqueous solution of methylene blue (MB) dye were also investigated. Further investigations showed that methylene blue adsorption kinetic data followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Also, adsorption equilibrium data were better fitted by a Freundlich isotherm. Finally the hydrogel nanocomposite designed in this work is distinguished by significantly higher adsorption capability, reusability, and stability making it an economical and successful adsorbent to remove MB dye from aqueous solutions.
