Abstract:
The iron metal-organic framework composite with chitosan (CS/MOF-235) was synthesized using a solvothermal method and its synthesis was confirmed by surface area, PZC, XRD, FESEM, XPS, TGA, TEM, EDX mapping and EDX analysis. The chitosan composite of the iron metal-organic framework (CS/MOF-235), MOF-235 and chitosan were used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 2857-2326 mg/g for CS/MOF-235, 357 - 236 mg/g for MOF- 235 and 209-171 mg/g for chitosan (CS) which reveal that the adsorption capacity of CS/MOF-235 is almost 8 and 14 times greater than MOF-235 and chitosan respectively. The adsorption selectivity of the (CS/MOF-235) towards the dye was in the order MO > MB. Moreover, hydrogen bonding, pi-pi bonding, pore-filling, electrostatic interactions and chemisorption were proposed as possible mechanisms for the removal of dyes onto CS/MOF-235. The intraparticle diffusion and Richenberg models confirmed that the adsorption process was jointly controlled by the pore and film diffusion. The negative values of the isosteric heat of adsorption (?H) fall with surface coverage indicating that a lesser amount of heat is required for the greater uptake of dyes.
