Abstract:

In order to develop an efficient and renewable magnetic biomass-based adsorbent, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/chitosan (CS) magnetic aerogel was synthesized via a combination method of floating droplet and freeze-thawing, in which MCC and CS worked as the network frameworks, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles endowed the magnetic property. The morphology and chemistry performance of MCC/CS magnetic aerogel were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and its removal performance for Congo Red was discussed. The results showed that when 1.0 g Fe3O4 nanoparticles was incorporated, MCC/CS magnetic aerogel present a porous network structure with lamellar accumulation and good magnetic response with Fe3O4 nanoparticles evenly distributed on the lamellar frames. The optimal adsorption conditions for Congo Red were found to be pH 5.0, dye initial concentration 400 mg/L and MCC/CS magnetic aerogel dosage 0.5 g/L. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetics equation and Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of MCC/CS magnetic aerogel for Congo Red was estimated to be 304 mg/g. The regeneration study demonstrated that the adsorption capacity retained about 86.5% of its initial level at the 5th sequential regeneration cycle, indicating that MCC/CS magnetic aerogel can be used as a high-efficient and renewable biomass-based adsorbent for dye wastewater treatment.
