Synthesis of zeolite-based nano-composite hybrid hydrogel and its sorption capability on methylene blue

A nano-composite hybrid hydrogel was prepared by incorporating the nano-zeolite (synthesized Y-type and natural clinoptilolite) into a poly (AM-co-PA) hydrogel by the in situ polymerization method using N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide as organic cross-linker. The methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption properties of this hybrid hydrogel were investigated. The adsorptions of MB dye by the hydrogel increases as the loading of the nano-sized particles and dye concentration increases. The hybrid hydrogel and hydrogel without any inorganic nano-particle were investigated byFTIR. SEM and XRD were used to characterize the crystalline and microstructure of hybrid and organic hydrogels.
