Removal of Congo red dye from industrial effluents using metal oxide-clay nanocomposites: Insight into adsorption and precipitation mechanisms

Removal of Congo red dye from industrial effluents using metal oxide-clay nanocomposites: Insight into adsorption and precipitation mechanisms

The efficacy of magnesium oxide (MgO)-bentonite clay nanocomposite particles (MgO nanoparticles embedded in powdered bentonite clay) for water and wastewater treatment applications is examined herein. Congo red (CR), a widely used azo dye, was used as the model contaminant. For CR concentrations ≤12...
