| description | In this paper, Fe3O4 and MgFe2O4 as magnetic samples were successfully synthesized by coprecipitation and combustion methods, respectively, to be used for adsorption of toxic methyl orange molecules from the aqueous solution. Characteristics of the synthesized samples were evaluated using various analyses. The results of crystalline and surface bonding assessment confirmed the successful synthesis of both samples with an appropriate structure. Moreover, Fe3O4 presented higher magnetic properties and surface area as well as lower pore diameter than MgFe2O4 sample. However, the maximum adsorption of methyl orange was obtained for MgFe2O4 (56.54 mg/g) which was around three times of Fe3O4 in the same conditions. This may be related to larger pore diameter of MgFe2O4 and the ease of access to the internal surface of the adsorbent by the adsorbate molecules. Among the evaluated isotherms, the predicted Freundlich model showed well correlation with actual results of the adsorption process and the process could kinetically explained by the pseudo-second-order equation. Thermodynamic investigation of the process showed the adsorption of methyl orange was exothermic and spontaneous. The results revealed that MgFe2O4 sample (qmax = 181.34 mg/g) can be suggested as a good adsorbent for the removal of toxic dyes and water pollutants. |
