Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Azo and anthraquinonic dyes constitute 90% of organic colorants.
  • Conventional dye removal techniques are often costly and uneconomical due to regeneration challenges.
  • There is a need for cheaper and more effective adsorbent materials for dye removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for three specific textile dyes: Cibacron Orange P-4R, Cibacron Red P-4B, and Cibacron Black PSG.
  • To evaluate the selective adsorption capabilities of these MIPs.
  • To explore the application of dye-imprinted polymers in solid-phase extraction for textile wastewater treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of MIPs using methacrylic acid (for red and orange dyes) or acrylamide (for black dye) as monomers.

  • Methanol:acetonitrile mixture used as a porogen during polymer synthesis.
  • Equilibrium-adsorption batch method employed to assess selective recognition and adsorption efficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • MIPs demonstrated significant selective adsorption for the target dyes compared to nonimprinted polymers (NIPs).
    • Adsorption percentages were: Cibacron Black PSG 65% (MIP) vs. 25% (NIP), Cibacron Red P-4B 72% (MIP) vs. 18% (NIP), and Cibacron Orange P-4R 45% (MIP) vs. 10% (NIP).
    • The developed dye-imprinted polymers proved effective as solid-phase extraction materials for selective dye adsorption from industrial wastewater.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular imprinting is a viable strategy for creating selective adsorbents for textile dyes.
    • MIPs offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for removing specific dyes from wastewater.
    • These materials show potential for application in textile factory wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.
