Özet

Drinking water is continuously contaminated by industrial dyes waste. Therefore, this issue continues to attract public attention due to the health and environmental concerns associated with toxic dyes. In this work, novel adsorbents (Zr-TP-H and Zr-TP-C-H) consisting of zirconium butoxide/terephthalate/hydrolyzed with and without cellulose in 1:2:0:4 and 1:2:1:4 mol ratio were synthesized in ethanol using sol-gel method. The prepared new organic-inorganic hybrid compounds as adsorbents were characterized by a combination of FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, and BET analysis methods. Then, their removal behaviors for methylene blue (MB) dye were systematically investigated. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that the adsorption process between these new adsorbents and MB dye conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, demonstrating a hybrid chemical adsorption process. As expected, the maximum adsorption capacity of the hybrid material Zr-TP-C-H was higher than Zr-TP-H.
