Abstract

In this study, chitosan-coated magnetically nanoparticles were used to remove the Reactive Red 120 dye from aqueous solution. Chitosan is one of the most famous biological polymers that can be used as adsorbent in the removal of color pollutants. Magnetic Fe₃O₄nanoparticles synthesized by mixing FeCl₃.6H₂O and FeCl₂.4H₂O were coated on low molecular weight chitosan polymer. Magnetic nanoparticles coated with chitosan were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetomer (VSM) analysis. The effect of three parameters of pH, dye concentration, and the adsorbent dosage on adsorption was investigated. Under these conditions, the optimal adsorption was obtained at pH = 4, initial dye concentrations = 150 mg/l, and the adsorbent dosage of 2 g/l. Adsorption data were adapted to Langmuir and Freundlich isothermic models. The results showed that the data obtained from the dye adsorption on the chitosan-coated magnetically nanoparticles fit better with Langmuir model.
