Abstract
Magnetic nanocomposite of multi-walled carbon nanotube (m-MWCNT) was synthesized for adsorptive removal of methyl violet (MV) from aqueous solutions. The experiments were conducted using a central composite design (CCD) with the variables of adsorbent dosage (0.4-1.2 g/L), solution pH (3-9), contact time (10-42 min) and ionic strength (0.02-0.1mol L−1). Regression analysis showed good fit of the experimental data to a quadratic response surface model whose statistical significance was verified by analysis of variance. By applying the desirability functions, optimum conditions of the process were predicted as adsorbent dosage of 0.99g/L, pH=4.92, contact time of 40.98 minutes and ionic strength of 0.04 mol L−1 to achieve MV removal percentage of 101.19. Experimental removal efficiency of 99.51% indicated that CCD along with the desirability functions can be effectively applied for optimizing MV removal by m-MWCNT. Based on the study, the adsorption process followed Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model could realistically describe the dye adsorption onto m-MWCNT.
