Study on adsorption of direct yellow dye by ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite

ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite was synthesized by oil-in-water microemulsion method and its adsorption properties were studied. To investigate adsorption properties, direct yellow dye was used as a pollution model. Synthesized powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The concentration of direct yellow is analyzed by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer with maximum absorption wavelength of direct yellow 415 nm. Maximum adsorption of %95 was obtained in 10ppm of direct yellow solution for ZnO/%50ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite that calcined at 400˚C.
