Abstract:
Dye wastewater discharged from industries has caused serious environmental problems. The recent decade has witnessed adsorption technology emerging as an advanced dye wastewater treatment method with great potential Therefore, we fabricated two kinds of magnetic porous adsorbents (HSF and HSVF) with different specific surface areas and activity sites. Both of which exhibit excellent performance with remarkable dye adsorption capacities, especially HSVF. We further investigated their adsorption kinetic and isotherm in detail. Therein, HSVF showed a nice desorption capacity, and it could be recycled rapidly by magnetism, which exhibited the advantages of effective, easy operation, and low cost. In addition, their adsorption kinetic and isotherm were further studied and compared in detail. The results revealed that introducing strong active sites could improve both the adsorption capacity and rate effectively even though sacrificing part of specific surface areas, indicating that active sites might play a dominant role during the dye adsorption process.
