ABSTRACT
Water pollution has become one of the most acute environmental problems. One of the pollutants coming to water bodies from industries are dyes, which are harmful to human health, living organisms, and the esthetic appearance of water. Most dyes are toxic, carcinogenic, rarely biodegradable, and highly soluble in water. Therefore, industrial wastewater treatment has become important. Adsorption technique of removal of dyes from water is simple, efficient, and inexpensive as compared to other techniques. Adsorption efficiency depends on the type and surface area of adsorbents. Iron-rich coal fly ash (IRCFA)-Polydopamine (PDA)@ Silver (Ag) nanocomposite was prepared by separating the iron-rich part (IRCFA) from coal fly ash and coated with polydopamine. IRCFA was mixed with 10 mM tris buffer solution containing 1 g dopamine. The prepared IRCFA-PDA was added to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, heated at 60 °C, and then 30 mL of flower waste extract was added to this solution. Solid IRCFA-PDA@Ag was obtained, and the prepared nanocomposite was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from water. The nanocomposite used was prepared by a cost-effective method and has high reusability, separability, and fast regeneration ability. The mechanism of removal of MB dye has been discussed in detail.
