Hydrogels in the removal of industrial pollution: Adsorption characteristics for the removal of a toxic dye from aqueous solutions

Pollution of water resources with various organic and inorganic pollutants is one of the biggest challenges of the present age. These infections seriously threaten human health and the lives of plants and animals. To minimize the mischievous effects of polluted water, technology-based smart treatment methods are necessary for sustainable equipping of drinking water. Application of (AAC-co-AM)-g-MCC hydrogels for the percentage removal of dye Methyl volute MV, from aqueous solutions have been studied. The synthesized (AAC-co-AM)-g-MCC hydrogels was described via FTIR, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The experiments held out in batch method effect of the factor like the solution of pH, initial concentration dye, and solution of temperature on the removal percentage of dye was studied. Contact time was done in ۱۲۰ min. The data appear that an amount of ۰.۰۸ g (AAC-co-AM)-g-MCC hydrogels showed maximum removal percentage capacity of dye (۱۰۰ mg L-۱). Maximum adsorption of MV dye was attained at pH ۶.۲.  It was further proven the adsorption dye onto (AAC-co-AM)-g-MCC hydrogels followed the isotherm Langmuir while the kinetics studies detect that each adsorption method was pseudo-second-order. The thermodynamic factors like enthalpy (∆Ho), change in free energy (∆Go), and entropy (∆So) were determined, and the values negative of ∆Go indicated that the method of removal was spontaneous at wholly values of temperatures. Further, the values of ∆Ho indicated the endothermic nature of the method of removal.
