ABSTRACT
Wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly important due to the potential shortage of pure drinking water in many parts of the world. Adsorption offers a potential technique for the uptake of contaminants and wastewater purification. In the last two decades, several efforts have been made to remove fast green (FG) dye from wastewater via different adsorbent materials. However, adsorption capacity shown by these adsorbents is low and time-consuming. Herein, we have synthesized for the first time a new powdered adsorbent ZnOS+C, modified zinc peroxide with sulfur and activated carbon to effectively remove FG dye from wastewater. Results of batch adsorption experiments have suggested that ZnOS+C has the maximum adsorption potential of 238.28 mg/g for FG dye within 120 min of adsorption equilibrium for a wide range of pH ranging from 2 to 10 pH. The adsorption process conforms to the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting a multilayered adsorption process on the outer surface of ZnOS+C. The adsorption kinetics study indicates that the kinetics of the reaction are the intraparticle diffusion model. Briefly, this study shows proof of the application of ZnOS+C powder as a new eco-friendly adsorbent with extremely high efficiency and high surface area for removing FG dye.
