Selectivity Assessment of a Novel Molecularly Imprinted Polymer in DyesMixture and Separate Aquous Solution

Molecularly imprinted polymers are a dominant category of adsorbents used in various fields including dye removal.These polymers are well-known for their outstanding specific recognition capabilities, allowing them to be used forthe detection and separation of specific target molecules among other analogous analytes. In this study, therecognition ability of a previously reported adsorbent was assessed in various conditions, focusing on its efficiencyin detecting and absorbing a specific dye. Removal of Sunset Yellow (C.I. ۱۵۹۸۵) was assessed solely and in a dyemixture. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be ۲۰.۹ mg/g, which can be attributed to the greatspecific recognition ability of the synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer. The selectivity factor was calculatedto be ۳.۶ and ۱.۴ in separate dye solution and mixture of dyes, respectively, making the adsorbents a great candidatefor further wastewater treatment applications.
