Crystal violet removal using bimetallic Fe0–Cu and its composites with fava bean activated carbon

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI), bimetallic nano zero-valent iron-copper (Fe0– Cu), and fava bean activated carbon-supported bimetallic nano zero-valent iron-copper (AC-Fe0-Cu) are synthesized and characterized using DLS, zeta potential, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM. The maximum removal capacity is demonstrated...

description Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI), bimetallic nano zero-valent iron-copper (Fe0– Cu), and fava bean activated carbon-supported bimetallic nano zero-valent iron-copper (AC-Fe0-Cu) are synthesized and characterized using DLS, zeta potential, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM. The maximum removal capacity is demonstrated by bimetallic Fe0–Cu, which is estimated at 413.98 mg/g capacity at pH 7, 180 min of contact duration, 120 rpm shaking speed, ambient temperature, 100 ppm of C.V. dye solution, and 1 g/l dosage. The elimination capability of the H2SO4 chemical AC-Fe0-Cu adsorbent is 415.32 mg/g under the same conditions but with a 150 ppm C.V. dye solution. The H3PO4 chemical AC-Fe0-Cu adsorbent achieves a removal capacity of 413.98 mg/g under the same conditions with a 350 ppm C.V. dye solution and a 1.5 g/l dosage. Optimal conditions for maximum removal efficiency are determined by varying pH (3–9), time intervals (15–180 min), and initial dye concentrations (25–1000 ppm). Kinetic and isothermal models are used to fit the results of time and concentration experiments. The intra-particle model yields the best fit for bimetallic Fe0–Cu, H2SO4 chemical AC- Fe0–Cu, and H3PO4 chemical AC-Fe0-Cu, with corrected R-Squared values of 0.9656, 0.9926, and 0.964, respectively. The isothermal results emphasize the significance of physisorption and chemisorption in concentration outcomes. Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are employed to optimize the removal efficiency. RSM models the efficiency and facilitates numerical optimization, while the ANN model is optimized using the moth search algorithm (MSA) for optimal results.
