Abstract

Modified nano-silica with Bismuth and Iron adsorbent was synthesized to be used as an effective adsorbent material for methylene blue (MB) removal from water solution. The prepared samples were characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD and TEM. The effect of experimental parameters such as pH, contact time and initial concentration on adsorption treatment were studied. Results indicated that the optimum conditions for maximum adsorption of 20 mg/L MB were: contact time of 20 minutes, pH= 5-6 and 8 gr/L adsorbent, the remaining MB in solution was 1.75%. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were employed to model the experimental results and the Freundlich isotherm was the best-fitting models for the experiment results. The kinetic data were also analyzed through pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model well depicted the kinetics of dyes adsorption on adsorbent.
