description In this study, the in situ chemical polymerization process was used to synthesize polystyrene/magnetite nanocomposite (PS-DVB/ Fe3O4). The prepared composite was characterized by XPS, SEM, XRD, HRTEM, FT-IR, and TGA technique. The XPS as an essential elemental analysis tool proved the proposed general formulae of the prepared nanocomposite (PS-DVB/ Fe3O4). FT-IR data proved the functional groups in the proposed structural formula of the prepared nanomaterials. The thermal analysis confirmed the high thermal stability of the prepared core–shell polymer. XRD results prove the crystallinity and single phase. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the presence of Fe2O3 and PS-DVB/Fe3O4 composite has been confirmed by HRTEM. The particle size analysis was used to determine the distribution of particle size within the polymer matrix. The adsorption potential of Tartrazine azo dye from polluted water samples onto cross-linked (PS-DVB/Fe3O4) using fixed-bed adsorption column was investigated. The adsorption capacity of Tartrazine onto PS-DVB greatly improved when Fe3O4 is added to the porous composite of PS-DVB copolymer to be 0.15 mol with removal efficiency reach 98%. In this respect, the effect of liquid flow rate, initial Tartrazine concentration, and PS-DVB/Fe3O4 bed height on the adsorption technique's breakthrough features was taken. In this work, the mass transfer model, which involved the two parameters of τ (50% breakthrough time) and k (adsorption rate constant), was suggested for discussion the effect of PS-DVB/Fe3O4on such values. It was found that the adsorption capacity Qe and τ values were decreased with the flow rate increases. The flow rate had little effect, at least for the PS-DVB/Fe3O4, on the k value. On the other hand, both Qe and τ values decreased with increasing the initial Tartrazine concentration, whereas the k value was slightly increased. We concluded that the liquid flow rate, initial Tartrazine concentration, and bed height were1mL/min, 5 M, and 7 cm, respectively. Finally, the PS-DVB/Fe3O4 was a suitable Tartrazine adsorbent using a fixed-bed adsorption column, which fitted well with the mass transfer model.
