| description | In this study, copper nanoparticles were synthesized from Trapa natans L. shells and loaded within polyamide-12 for use as an adsorbent. The synthesized nanocomposite was used for the first time to remove toxic methyl orange and brilliant green dye molecules from synthetic aqueous solutions. In order to characterize the plant-based nanocomposite, its functional groups, surface texture, elemental composition, structure, surface area, and crystallinity were determined. Adsorption efficiency was found to be affected by factors like pH (2–10), time (5–240 min.), and temperature (288–308 K). It was at pH 6 that the adsorbent reached the point of zero charge. During the adsorption process, electrostatic attraction played an influential role. Adsorption isotherms and kinetics data were well-fitted by Langmuir isotherms and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. A maximum adsorption capacity of 166.60 mg/gm was calculated for 93.90% methyl orange removal and 55.24 mg/gm for 97.30% brilliant green removal. The adsorption process was endothermic, spontaneous, and physical. The rapid desorption of dye molecules confirms the potential, and practicality of the nanocomposite as a promising adsorbent for decolorizing colored wastewater on an industrial scale. |
