Modified magnetite nanoparticles with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as superior adsorbent for rapid removal of the disperse dyes from wastewater of textile companies
This paper reports application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) as a novel adsorbent for removal of two types of disperse dyes, including disperse red 167, and disperse blue 183, from wastewater of textile companies. The effect of parameters including type of surfactant, pH of solution, surfactant concentration, and amount of salt, was investigated and optimized. The obtained results showed that the ratio of initial dye concentration to CTAB amounts has critical effect on removal processes so that removal efficiencies higher than 95% can be achieved even at high concentration of dyes as high as 500 mg l-1 when the ratio is optimum. Removal of dyes is very fast, and equilibrium is reached at times less than 10 min even for high concentration of the dyes. Very high adsorbent capacity (as high as 2000 mg g-1) was yielded for maximum tested concentration of the dyes (500 mg g-1). The obtained result was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis data. This study showed that CTAB coated Fe3O4 NPs is a very efficient adsorbent for removal of dyes from wastewater of textile companies and has high capacity under optimum conditions.
Removal of dye from polluted water using novel nano manganese oxide-based mat...Dr. Md. Aminul Islam
Dyes are priority pollutants, commonly found at significant concentrations in textile effluents. The presence of dyes stuffs in wastewater can cause severe problems to aquatic life and human beings. Therefore, the removal of dyes from wastewater is important in order to minimize their hazardous effects on the environment. One way of removing dyes is to use nanosized manganese oxides (MnOs). To date, there has been much work reported on the use of nanosized MnOs as sorbents for dyestuffs. They are promising sorbents for commercial use due to their amorphous nature, high specific surface areas (SSA), mesoporous structure, and low to the moderate point of zero charge (pHPZC). This review summarizes the toxicity and recent advances for removing dyes from wastewater using nanosized MnO sorbents. The article also describes the various experimental parameters necessary for adsorption optimization, such as adsorption time, pH, initial dye concentration, amount of sorbent and temperature. Adsorption mechanisms investigated by various modeling approaches are also discussed. In particular, it was observed that much work has been reported on the use of birnessite and its composites for dye removal. There are many papers reporting on the use of MnO in batch mode dye removal, but very few that report on the use of MnO in continuous column removal systems. Therefore, there is still a considerable need for further research to develop effective and economical large scale MnO column systems for commercial use.
Comparative Study for Adsorptive Removal of Coralene Blue BGFS Dye from Aqueo...IJERA Editor
Textile industries represent biggest impact on the environment due to high water consumption and waste water discharge as government control water pollution by setting strength regulation for waste water discharge, removal of color from waste water becomes more and more essential and attractive. Adsorption technology is very efficient in treatment of textile effluent. In this paper comparison of adsorption phenomena of textile dye Anthraquinone blue onto two different adsorbents MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 amorphous powder has been studied for removal of said dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Anthraquinone blue on adsorbents occurs by studying the effects of adsorbent amount, dye concentration, contact time and pH of solution. All results found that MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 provide a fairly high dye adsorption capacity, which combined with their fulfilment of pollution control board’s standards, lack of pollution, lower environmental hazard and low-cost makes them promising for future applications. The present work also provides information on optimum value of different operating parameter for dye removal by two adsorbent.
Decolorization of mixture of dyes: A critical reviewGJESM Publication
Water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. This natural resource is becoming scarce, making
its availability a major social and economic concern. Use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. About 17 - 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. These effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cause acute toxicity to the receiving water bodies, as these comprised of various types of toxic dyes, which are difficult to remove. Decolorisation of textile wastewater is therefore important before releasing it into the nearby local waterways. It therefore becomes essential to degrade the toxic chemicals of textile wastewater, so as to avoid the hazardous environmental effects. Several treatment methods have been employed to embark upon the problem of dye removal but degradation becomes further more difficult for effluents containing dye matrix. The
review study has been an attempt to present the different diversified attempts used for decolorisation of a mixture of dyes.

Removal of Harmful Textile Dye Congo Red from Aqueous Solution Using Chitosan...IJERA Editor
Color is an important aspect of human life. Textile industries are the major consumers of dye stuffs. During coloration process, 10 to 15 percent of the dyes will be lost and this will be discharged with the effluents coming from textile industries. These are very difficult to degrade and they may degrade to form products that are highly toxic to human. Today, methods such as coagulation, flocculation, activated carbon adsorption, etc. are available for the removal of dyes. These are all quite expensive and difficult to degrade. Chitosan is a natural hetero polymer derived from chitin. Chitosan has proved to be effective in removing hazardous compounds from environment due to its multiple functional groups. It is available as flakes and powder. In the present work, chitosan beads were prepared and modified with a cationic surfactant CTAB for the removal of dye Congo Red. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of CTAB concentration, contact time, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH. Batch equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. Bach kinetic data were analyzed using Pseudo first order kinetic model and pseudo second order kinetic model.
The textile dyeing industry consumes large quantities of water and produces large volumes of wastewater from different processes in dyeing and finishing processes. The low-cost, easily available naturally prepared coagulants like moringa seed powder, maize seed powder, green bean powder and tamarind seed powder as an alternative to recent expensive coagulant methods for reactive dye removal has been investigated in this study. Various process parameters like pH, coagulant dose, flocculation time and also its optimization were exploited. The maximum percentage color removal was found to be 80.26, 78.30, 74.04, 72.68 and 70.53 for moringa, corn, aluminium sulphate, green bean and tamarind, respectively, at pH 9.0, coagulant dose of 30 mgL-1, flocculation time 120 min. The sludge volume index (SVI) was calculated for these parameters including process optimization. Natural coagulants were better coagulant than aluminium sulphate which corresponds to color removal and sludge volume index.

The exhaustion capacities were quite high as compared to the breakthrough capacities and were found to be 217, 211, 104, 126, 233, 248, 267 mg/g for meldola blue, crystal violet, chrysoidine G, methylene blue, ethyl orange, metanil yellow, acid blue 113, respectively and 25.6, 72.2, 82.2 and 197.3 mg/g for phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol, respectively
Adsorption of dye from aqueous solutions by orange peel with Chitosan nanocom...Open Access Research Paper
This research focused on the development of adsorbents based on cheap, abundant, and locally available agricultural wastes in Tamil Nadu to adsorb dye from an aqueous solution. The goal of this study was to explore if chitosan-modified orange peel could be utilized as an adsorbent to remove colours from wastewater and if it could be employed as a traditional wastewater treatment approach in the textile sector. Using agricultural peel in decolouration technology has a lot of potential in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. Super nanocomposite is made from orange peel waste combined with chitosan nanoparticles. The purpose of this batch adsorption experiment was to determine the effects of adsorbent dosages, pH, and temperature on dye adsorption from wastewater. The experiment showed that the maximum amount of dye adsorbed was 53.3mg/g at pH 6.9 with a Temperature (of 600 C) and the adsorbent dose amount of adsorbent was 1.0g/L. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was used to investigate the equilibrium adsorption behaviour. The usage of orange peel with Nanocomposite as an adsorbent for the adsorption of methylene blue dye from solutions was demonstrated in this work. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in orange peels, chitosan, chitosan orange peel, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with orange peel waste were identified using FTIR, TGA, and SEM techniques. Different types of Langmuir I, Langmuir II, Langmuir III, Langmuir IV, and the Freundlich model as adsorption isotherm models were investigated.

Photocatalytic application of TiO2/SiO2-based magnetic nanocomposite (Fe3O4@S...Iranian Chemical Society
In this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by TiO2/SiO2-based magnetic nanocomposite. Textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. This manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using TiO2/SiO2-based nanocomposite (Fe3O4@SiO2/TiO2) under UV irradiation. This magnetic nanocomposite, as photocatalytically active composite, is synthesized via solution method in mild conditions. A large range of cationic, anionic and neutral dyes including: methyl orange, methylene blue, neutral red, bromocresol green and methyl red are used for treatment investigations. Neutral red and bromocresol green have good results in reusing treatment. The high surface area of nanocomposites improve the kinetic of wastewater treatment. In this method, by using the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, TiO2-based photocatalyst could be separated and reused for 3 times. The efficiency of this method is respectively 100% and 65% for low concentration (10 ppm) and high concentration (50 ppm) of neutral red and bromocrosol green after 3 h treatment. The efficiency of treatment using the second used nanocomposite was 90% for 10 ppm of the same dyes.
Removal of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons from WaterIJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Unsaturated cyclic aromatic compounds that are present at high concentrations in the crude oil, are including benzene, toluene and xylene. They can be an important source of water pollution. Benzo pyrene indicate the presence of these compounds in contaminated water into the environment. These compounds into the environment as a result of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels as a source of natural or man-made. These compounds are highly carcinogenic effects that enter the body through the air or food will be available. The use of columns filled with water from organic absorbent material is highly effective in removing the material. The use of nanoparticles for the removal of these contaminants is very appropriate that these coatings use to extract and measure the batch of hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic of samples of contaminated water. The Nanocomposites can be produced easily and in addition to longevity of good stability as well. Zeolite nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are from other suitable methods. Carbon nanotubes are a lot of electrons on the surface that can be paired with aromatic pollution. The aromatics as electron acceptor and electron donor sheets of graphene to act as the effective removal of aromatic pollutants play an important role. In this paper the Titania in photocatalytic process use to remove contaminants to harmless by-products and recycling is much better than other known methods.The Cyclodextrin Mesostructured Silica Nanoparticles and magnetic Nano particle are suitable to remove PAHs from water resources too that is very simple to use. Hope that using the nanoparticles have a big change in removal of water and sanitation
SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND ADSORPTION TECHNIQUE FOR THE TREATMENT OF PESTICIDE EF...civej
Solvent extraction and adsorption techniques are effective methods for the removal of pesticides like DDT
and Dicofol from the waste water. Study was conducted using 3 different solvents- Ethylene dichloride
(EDC), Monochlorobenzene (MCB) and Hexane to optimise parameters like effluent to solvent ratio,
agitation speed, agitation time and settling time to attain maximum removal of pesticides by solvent
extraction process. MCB was found to be the best solvent when compared to other two solvents using the
optimised parameters. The activated carbon (8 x30) is an effective adsorbent for the removal of DDT and
Dicofol. The material have good adsorptive capacity and follows Freundlich model. The optimum
adsorbent dose was observed as 2 gm/100ml and optimum contact time needed to reach the equilibrium
was observed as 3 hr. Column study was conducted with the synthetic effluent after solvent extraction.
Combination of solvent extraction process and adsorption technique was very effective for the removal of
Dicofol and DDT with an efficiency of 99 % and 97 % respectively.

The SiO2@FeSO4 nano composite system was carried out between 10 to 15 min in oil bath (70-80 °C) under solvent-free condition in excellent yields in addition this protocol can be used for industrial scales. This method offers some advantages in term of clean reaction conditions, easy work-up procedure, short reaction time, applied to convert α-diketones to α-diketoximes (as longer than other carbonyl compounds), α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to corresponding oximes and suppression of any side product. So we think that NH2OH•HCl/SiO2@FeSO4 nano composite system could be considered a new and useful addition to the present methodologies in this area. Structure of products and nano composite elucidation was carried out by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Photocatalytic degradation of some organic dyes under solar light irradiation...Iranian Chemical Society
Nanoparticles of the ZnO and TiO2 were synthesized and the physicochemical properties of the compounds were characterized by IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD patterns of the ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles could be indexed to hexagonal and rutile phase, respectively. Aggregated nanoparticles of ZnO and TiO2 with spherical-like shapes were observed with particle diameter in the range of 80-100 nm. These nanoparticles were used for photocatalytic degradation of various dyes, Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene blue (MB) and Acridine orange (AO) under solar light irradiation at room temperature. Effect of the amount of catalyst on the rate of photodegradation was investigated. In general, because ZnO is unstable, due to incongruous dissolution to yield Zn(OH)2 on the ZnO particle surfaces and thus leading to catalyst inactivation,the catalytic activity of the system for photodegradation of dyes decreased dramatically when TiO2 was replaced by ZnO.
Si-Imidazole-HSO4 Functionalized Magnetic Fe3O4 Nanoparticles as an Efficient...Iranian Chemical Society
An efficient and simple method for the preparation of Si-Imidazole-HSO4 functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Si-Im-HSO4 MNPs) and used as an efficient and reusable magnetic catalysts for the regioselective ring opening of epoxides under green conditions in water. This catalyst was used for the ring opening of epoxide corresponding to the thiocyanohydrins and azidohydrines. Compared to the classical ring opening of epoxides, this new method consistently has the advantage of excellent yields, short reaction times, and methodological simplicity.
Effect of the pillar ligand on preventing agglomeration of ZnO nanoparticles ...Iranian Chemical Society
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of highly porous materials. On this regard, two nano porous metal-organic frameworks of [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(H2O)2∙(DMF)2]n (1) and [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(dabco)]·4DMF·1⁄2H2O (2), (1,4-bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) were synthesized and characterized. They were used for preparation of ZnO nanomaterials. With calcination of 1, agglomerated ZnO nanoparticles could be fabricated, but by the same process on 2, the tendency of ZnO nanoparticles to agglomeration was decreased. In addition, the ZnO nanoparticles prepared from compound 2 had smaller diameter than those obtained from compound 1. In fact, the role of organic dabco ligands in 2 is similar to the role of polymeric stabilizers in formation of nanoparticles. Finally, considering the various applications of ZnO nanomaterials such as light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, photodiodes, gas sensors and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), it seems that preparation of ZnO nanomaterials from their MOFs could be one of the simple and effective methods which may be applied for preparation of them.

These kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. Therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of SAPs can guide us to manufacture a sulfonated mesostructures compatible with reaction type and conditions. In the present review, some of the important SAPs, their reactivity and mechanism of functionalization are discussed.
Modification of mesoporous silica SBA-15 with different organic molecules to ...Iranian Chemical Society
The recognition of the biologically and environmentally important ions is of great interest in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. The fluorescent sensors as a powerful optical analytical technique for the detection of low level of various analytes such as anions and metal cations have been progressively developed due to the simplicity, cost effective, and selectivity for monitoring specific analytes in various systems. Organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials have important advantages as solid chemosensors and various innovative hybrid materials modified by fluorescence molecules were recently prepared. On the other hand, the homogeneous porosity and large surface area of mesoporous silica make it a promising inorganic support. SBA-15 as a two-dimensional hexagonal mesoporous silica material with stable structure, thick walls, tunable pore size, and high specific surface area is a valuable substrate for modification with different organic chelating groups. This review highlights the fluorescent chemosensors for ionic species based on modification of the mesoporous silica SBA-15 with different organic molecules, which have been recently developed from our laboratory.
Antibacterial ethylene propylene rubber impregnated with silver nanopowder: A...Iranian Chemical Society
Following our interest in reaching for a molded rubber article with possible detergent contact applications, durable silver nanopowder (AgNP) is synthesized by arc discharge, then mixed with varying ratios of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), affording novel AgNP@EPR nanocomposites. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of AgNP as well as AgNP@EPR show no trace of impurity, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates an average diameter of 50 nm for the former. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images while confirm the SEM results, show quite a few 5 nm AgNP particles lying beside some micro crumbs. Our DC arc discharge technique involves explosion of movable silver anode and static cathode by a current pulse between 5 to 10 A cm-2. A solution blending method is employed for preparation of AgNP@EPR nanocomposites. The AgNP is first dispersed in toluene using an ultrasonic homogenizer, and then thoroughly mixed with EPR in the same solvent whose removal gives nanocomposites of 2, 4, 6 and 8 vol% AgNP in EPR, showing strong antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Photo-electrocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes prepared with two-step anod...Iranian Chemical Society
To improve the photo-catalytic degradation of salicylic acid, we reported the fabrication of ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays by a simple and effective two-step anodization method and then these TiO2 nanotubes treated in a methanol solution under UV light irradiation. The TiO2 nanotubes prepared in the two-step anodization process showed better photo-catalytic activity than TiO2 nanotubes prepared in one-step anodization process. Also, compared with TiO2 nanotubes without the UV pretreatment, the TiO2 nanotubes pretreated in a methanol solution under UV light irradiation exhibited significant enhancements in both photocurrent and activity. The treated TiO2 nanotubes exhibited a 5-fold enhancement in photocurrent and a 2.5-fold increase in the photo-catalytic degradation of salicylic acid. Also the effect of addition of persulfate and periodate on the photo-catalytic degradation of salicylic acid were investigated. The results showed that the degradation efficiency of salicylic acid increased with increasing persulfate and periodate concentrations. These treated TiO2 nanotubes are promising candidates for practical photochemical reactors.
Oxidized multi walled carbon nanotubes for improving the electrocatalytic act...Iranian Chemical Society
In the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by 7,8-dihydroxy-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2H)-one (DTD) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OCNTs) is described for determination of levodopa (LD), acetaminophen (AC) and tryptophan (Trp) by a simple and rapid method. At first, the electrochemical behavior of DTD is studied, then, the mediated oxidation of LD at the modified electrode is investigated. At the optimum pH of 7.4, the oxidation of LD occurs at a potential about 330 mV less positive than that of an unmodified carbon paste electrode. Based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the oxidation current of LD exhibits a linear range between 1.0 and 2000.0 μM of LD with a detection limit (3σ) of 0.36 μM. DPV was also used for simultaneous determination of LD, AC and Trp at the modified electrode. Finally, the proposed electrochemical sensor was used for determinations of these substances in human serum sample.
Selective Oxidation of Cyclohexene, Toluene and Ethyl Benzene Catalyzed by Bi...Iranian Chemical Society
Bis-(L-tyrosinato)copper(II) was reacted with 3-(chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane functionalized silica that has infused magnetite to yield a magnetically separable catalyst in which the copper carboxylate is covalently linked to the silica matrix through the silane linkage. The immobilized catalyst has been characterized by spectroscopic studies (such as FT-IR, EPR, Magnetic Measurement, SEM) and chemical analyses. The immobilized catalytic system functions as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for oxidation of cyclohexene, toluene and ethyl benzene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (as an oxidant) and sodium bicarbonate (a co-catalyst). The reaction conditions have been optimized for solvent, temperature and amount of oxidant and catalyst. Comparison of the encapsulated catalyst with the corresponding homogeneous catalyst showed that the heterogeneous catalyst had higher activity and selectivity than the homogeneous catalyst. The immobilized catalyst could be readily recovered from the reaction mixture by using a simple magnet, and reused up to five times without any loss of activity.
A powerful and convenient reaction procedure for the C-N coupling reaction (the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction), yielding products of N-arylanilines and N-arylamines in both conventional heating and microwave irradiation has been reported. The protocol utilizes a stable and new supper ferromagnetic nanoparticle chelating N-heterocyclic dicarbene palladium(II) complex (Pd-NHC) as catalyst which helps/allows us to complete the reaction with only 0.002 mol% Pd producing high yield products. We also examined the reusability of the catalyst. It was found that the catalyst could be recovered by external magnetic field and reused for seven times without obvious loss in catalytic activity.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4
NPs) as a novel adsorbent for removal of two types of disperse dyes, including disperse red 167, and disperse blue 183, from wastewater of
textile companies. The effect of parameters including type of surfactant, pH of solution, surfactant concentration, and amount of salt, was
investigated and optimized. The obtained results showed that the ratio of initial dye concentration to CTAB amounts has critical effect on
removal processes so that removal efficiencies higher than 95% can be achieved even at high concentration of dyes as high as 500 mg l-1
when the ratio is optimum. Removal of dyes is very fast, and equilibrium is reached at times less than 10 min even for high concentration
of the dyes. Very high adsorbent capacity (as high as 2000 mg g-1
) was yielded for maximum tested concentration of the dyes (500 mg g-1
).
The obtained result was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis data. This study showed that CTAB coated Fe3O4 NPs is a very efficient
adsorbent for removal of dyes from wastewater of textile companies and has high capacity under optimum conditions.

INTRODUCTION
Treatment and disposal of dye-contaminated wastewater
is among the most serious environmental problems faced by
the textile, dyeing, printing, ink, and related industries. Dyes
are known as pollutants that not only affect aesthetic merits
of environment, but also reduce light penetration and
photosynthesis, and some of them are considered toxic and
even carcinogenic to human health [1]. The presence of
minute amounts of dyes in water (less than 1 ppm for some
dyes) is highly visible and undesirable [2]. Over 100,000
commercially available dyes exist and more than 7 × 105
tones are annually produced [3,4]. Among different dyes,
disperse dyes are widely used in variety of industries, such
as textiles, paper and leather. Disperse dyes are non-ionic

aromatic compounds, scarcely soluble in water but soluble
in organic solvents. The majority of them are Azo and
anthraquinone dyes. In addition, these dyes can be used to
synthesize fibers such as polyester, nylon, acetate, cellulose
and acrylic [5].
As the regulations of worldwide have grown stricter, the
effluents of textile and related industries have to be treated
carefully before discharge. This has resulted in a demand
for environmentally friendly technologies to remove dyes
from effluents. Numerous approaches, including biological
treatment [6], coagulation/flocculation [7], ozone treatment
[8], oxidation [9], membrane filtration [10], electrochemical
processes [11], photocatalytic degradation [12] and
adsorption [13], have been developed to remove these
compounds from colored effluents. Among them,
adsorption techniques offer significant advantages over
other removal techniques, since the former methods are

50
more economical, simpler [14], and capable of efficiently
treating dyes in more concentrated form [15]. Also,
especially based on environmental point of view, adsorption
techniques do not lead to secondary sludge disposal
problems [16,17]. Although activated carbon is widely used
as an efficient adsorbent for dye removal from colored
waters owing to its excellent adsorption abilities, it suffers
from several drawbacks such as high price of both its
manufacturing and regeneration, and it is also ineffective
against disperse and vat dyes [18,19]. Hence, instead of
activated carbon, alternative low-cost, novel locally
available adsorbents are currently used for removal of
textile dye effluents from aqueous solutions. Sepiolite
[20,21], zeolite [22], waste metal hydroxide sludge [23],
smectite [24], bentonite [25], Sorrel’s cement [26], modified
mesoporous silica [27], orange peel [28],
polymethylacrylate grafted chitosan [29], magnetic alginate
beads [30] and modified magnetic nanoparticles [31,32] are
some adsorbents used in this respect.
Recently, nanometer-sized materials have attracted
substantial interest in the scientific community because of
their special properties [33]. These materials have been used
in various scientific fields such as biotechnology,
engineering, biomedical, environmental, and material
sciences [34-37]. Application of nanoparticles (NPs), as
novel adsorbents for pollutant removal, is gaining research
interest [38-42]. Compared with micrometer-sized particles,
NPs offer a significantly higher surface area-to-volume ratio
and a short diffusion route, resulting in high extraction
capacity, rapid extraction dynamics, and high extraction
efficiencies [43,44]. Super paramagnetic NPs such as Fe3O4
are attracted to a magnetic field but retain no residual
magnetism after the field is removed. This property makes
them particularly suitable for pollutant removal since no
centrifugation or filtrations of the sample are then needed
after treatment (in comparison with non-magnetic NPs).
In order to enhance commercial application of magnetic
nanoparticles (MNPs) as adsorbents in batch contact and
column processes for removal of dyestuffs, several chemical
modification methods, such as magnetic silica modified
with amine group [45], magnetic multi-wall carbon
nanotube nanocomposite [46], cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide (CTAB) coated magnetic nanoparticles [47], and
magnetic alginate beads [48] have been applied to improve
its removal efficiency as well as its selectivity. For removal
and recovery of dyes from solution, surfactant coated MNPs
such as CTAB offer several potential advantages such as
high extraction capacity, rapid separation, easy elution and
recovery of dyes, and simple and convenient procedures.
In this study, adsorption efficiency of CTAB coated
MNPs as a cationic surfactant was investigated for removal
of two disperse dyes (disperse red 167 and disperse blue
183) from aqueous solution. For this purpose, first the
effects of variables influencing the removal of dyes were
evaluated. Then, under optimum conditions, removal of
dyes was investigated in wastewater samples from textile
industry.
EXPERIMENTAL
Chemicals and Apparatus
In this study, all of the used chemicals were analytical
reagent grade. Disperse red 167 and disperse blue 183 were
obtained from Department of Colorant Manufacture, Iran
Color Research Center (Tehran, Iran), with analytical grade
and were used without further purification. The chemical
structure and λmax of the dyes are tabulated in Table 1. Ferric
chloride (FeCl3.6H2O), ferrous chloride (FeCl2.4H2O),
sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), CTAB, triton X-114 (TX-
114), methanol, acetone and hydrochloric acid were
prepared from Merck Company (Darmstadt, Germany). The
water used throughout this work was double distillated
water. The dye stock solution was prepared by dissolving
accurately weight of dyes in double distillated water. The
working solutions were obtained by diluting the stock
solution to the required concentrations in water. In order to
adjust the acidity of solutions, sodium hydroxide or
hydrochloride acid solutions were used.
All pH measurements were performed with a WTW
Inolab pH meter (Weilheim, Germany). A
thermogravimetric analyzer PL-STA from PL-Thermal
Science Company (London, England) was utilized to
confirm high capacity of the adsorbent. The
spectrophotometric measurements were carried out with
UV-Vis. spectrophotometer CECIL CE-7200 (Cambridge,
England) at the respective λmax value of each dye, 559 nm
for disperse blue 183 and 469 nm for disperse red 167. The
dye solutions were stirred using a motor-stirrer (Heidolph,

Germany) by glassware stirrer. A temperature-controlled
shaker was applied for shaking at the constant temperature.
A super magnet with 1.4 Tesla magnetic fields (10 × 5 × 4
cm) was used for magnetic separation.
Synthesis of MNPs
The MNPs were synthesized by chemical co-
precipitation method, using a reactor designed in our
research group recently [49]. First, 10.4 g of FeCl3.6H2O,
4.0 g of FeCl2.4H2O and 1.7 ml of HCl (12 M) were
dissolved in 50 ml of deionized water in a beaker degassed
with nitrogen bubbling for 20 min. Five hundred ml of 1.5
M NaOH solution was degassed (15 min) and heated to 80
ºC in the reactor. Then, the acidic solution was added
dropwise into the NaOH solution in 30 min under the
nitrogen gas protection and vigorous stirring (1000 rpm)
using the glassware stirrer. During the whole process,
temperature of the solution was maintained at 80 ºC and
nitrogen gas was used to prevent intrusion of oxygen. After
completion of the reaction, the obtained MNPs precipitate
was separated from the reaction medium by magnetic field.
It was subsequently washed with 500 ml of deionized water
four times. Finally, the obtained NPs were re-suspended in
500 ml of the degassed deionized water. The pH of obtained
suspension was 11.0 and concentration of the generated NPs
in suspension was estimated to be about 10 mg ml-1
. The
obtained NPs were stable at least for one month. The
synthesized MNPs were characterized using a scanning
electron microscope (SEM), infrared radiation (IR) and X-
ray diffraction (XRD) as discussed previously [49].
Dye Adsorption Procedure
Extraction of dyes was carried out according to the
following procedure: (1) 40 ml aqueous solution of the dyes
(40 mg l-1
) was prepared in a 100 ml beaker by addition of
the appropriate amount of stock solution of the dyes; (2) 1.0
ml of the NPs suspension (containing 10 mg of Fe3O4 NPs)
was added to the dyes solution; (3) pH of the solution was
adjusted to the desired value and surfactant was then added
into the dye solution; (4) the mixture of solution was stirred
to enhance the efficiency of dye adsorption by increasing
mass transfer; (5) by the use of a strong magnet after dye
adsorption, Fe3O4 NPs was separated quickly (1 min) from
the sample solution; (6) the residual dye concentration in the

supernatant clear solution was determined
spectrophotometrically using the calibration curves. The

where C0 and C are the initial and residual concentrations of

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Effect of pH
Surface charge of MNPs can be changed as a function of
sample pH. Thus, at various pH conditions, different
mechanisms can occur. In the present study different
surfactants including cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS), and
non-ionic (TX-114) were used to evaluate removal
efficiency of the dyes as a function of samples pH. So, the
influence of pH on adsorption efficiency of dyes was
studied over a range of pH values from 4 to 11 for TX-114
coated MNPs, from 3 to 8 for SDS coated MNPs, and from
5 to 11 for CTAB coated MNPs. The adsorption efficiency
of the dyes is illustrated in Fig. 1a to Fig. 1c for different
surfactant coated MNPs. Figure 1a indicates that the
maximum adsorption efficiency of SDS coated MNPs is
achieved at pH = 3. By increasing the pH, the sorption
amount decreased. This can be attributed to the fact that
when the pH level is below from its zero point charge (PZC
6.5), the surface of MNPs is positively charged [50]. In this
condition, SDS molecules can be easily adsorbed on
positively charged surface of MNPs via electrostatic
attraction forces. By increasing pH, the Fe3O4 surface
becomes negatively charged such that the strong
electrostatic repulsion can occur between SDS molecules
and the negatively charged MNPs surface.
Figure 1b demonstrates that the adsorption efficiency of
TX-114 coated MNPs is independent of pH. This parameter
remains nearly constant (lower than 50%) over the initial
pH ranges of 4-11. This can be attributed to the fact that the
surface of MNPs is positively or negatively charged under
acidic or alkaline conditions, respectively. Under this
circumstance, non-ionic surfactants such as TX-114 cannot
easily interact with the charged surface.

Figure 1c shows removal efficiency of CTAB coated
MNPs as a function of sample pH. The result indicates that
maximum adsorption efficiency occurs at pH = 8. By
increasing pH from 5 to 8, the sorption efficiency increased
dramatically before reaching its maximum value at pH = 8.

When pH increases, the MNPs surface becomes negatively
charged so that the strong electrostatic attraction between
CTAB molecules and the negatively charged MNPs surface
is high enough to produce a great adsorption affinity for
disperse dyes.
In conclusion, maximum removal efficiency can be
achieved at pH = 3 with SDS and pH ≥ 8 with CTAB.
Removal under alkaline conditions is most favorable.
Stability of MNPs in acidic pH is lower than that in alkaline
conditions and MNPs can be easily oxidized under acidic
condition and lose their magnetization up to 35% [51].
Influence of CTAB Concentration
Adsorption of ionic surfactants such as CTAB onto the
surface of metal oxides is a favorable process. Depending
on the amount of added surfactants, it can form different
structures on surface of metal oxides [39,40]. Figure 2
depicts the adsorption efficiency of disperse dyes as a
function of the amount of CTAB added. At low
concentrations of CTAB, the adsorption efficiency of the
disperse dyes on the surface of MNPs is low. In contrast, by
increasing CTAB concentration, the adsorption efficiency
increases remarkably. An increase in adsorption efficiency
can be explained by the gradual formation of hydrophobic
hemimicelles on the surface of MNPs which can increase
the adsorption efficiency of the dyes. Similar results have
been reported in the literature [52-54]. Hemimicelles consist
of monolayer of surfactant adsorbing head down on a
positively charged mineral oxide surface. Maximum
removal was obtained when CTAB concentration was 5.0 ×
10-5
M for disperse blue 183 and 2.5 × 10-5
M for disperse
red 167. These results suggest that the removal behaviors of
the disperse dyes are related to their hydrophobic properties.
By increasing the number of chloro-substitutes, these
properties raise.
Kinetic of the Adsorption Process
In order to study the adsorption kinetic, removal of dyes
under optimum conditions (pH = 8.0 and CTAB
concentration were 5.0 × 10-5
M for disperse blue 183 and
2.5 × 10-5
M for disperse red 167) was investigated by
fixing adsorbent dose, and contact times were varied in the
range of 5-60 min. Also, the dye concentrations were varied
between 80-200 mg l-1
. Figure 3 shows removal efficiency

of disperse red 167 as a function of contact time in different
initial dye concentrations. Same results were obtained for
disperse blue 183. It is evident that removal efficiency of
the dye decreases when initial dye concentration in the
solution increases. On the other hand, the results showed
that removal rates of dyes are very fast and adsorption
equilibrium is reached in 5 min for all of the five

concentrations tested. Thus, the obtained results cannot be
treated with conventional kinetic models. Therefore, it can
be concluded that saturation of adsorbent may occur at short
times or there is a correlation between amount of CTAB and
initial dye concentration. It is worthy to note that for initial
dye concentrations, amount of adsorbed dye was almost
constant (40 mg l-1
). So, this hypothesis was considered in
further studies.
Effect of Dye-to-CTAB Ratio on the Adsorption
Efficiency
Optimization of CTAB concentration was accomplished
for 40 mg l-1
of the dyes. Further studies showed that there is
a correlation between initial dye concentration and CTAB
concentrations.
Therefore, optimum CTAB concentration was
investigated for higher initial concentration of the dyes (≥
40 mg l-1
). The result showed that the ration of dye to
CTAB should be kept constant at optimum value to achieve
high removal efficiency (≥95%). Figure 4 shows the amount
of CTAB needed for removal efficiency of ≥95% for
different concentrations of the dyes. Under this
circumstances, maximum amount of tested dyes (500 mg l-1
)
can be removed with removal efficiency of ≥95. In this
condition, the adsorbent capacity of the MNPs of the dyes
can be 2000 mg g-1
. In order to confirm the high capacity of
the adsorbent, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) was done
on the dry adsorbent which already was contacted with 500
mg l-1
of the dyes (Fig. 5). Obtained results showed that at
temperatures lower than 450 ºC, near 70 mass% loss
occurres. This observation can be explained by thermal
decomposition of the dye and CTAB. Since amount of
CTAB is very low, it can be concluded that mass loss in TG
process is due to degradation of the dyes adsorbed on the
surface of the adsorbent. This phenomenon is a unique
event which completely differs from the literature data.
Salt Effect
Generally, effluents of textile and dyeing industries
contain a high concentration of salts, which may affect the
removal efficiency of the dye [51]. Therefore, influence of
salt concentration in range of 0-10% (w/v) on removal
efficiency of the dyes was considered. The results revealed
that removal efficiency of the dyes remained constant at
Fig. 4. Effect of dye to CTAB ratio on removal efficiency of
the dyes, condition: pH = 8.0, stirring time (5 min),
salt % (0 w/v).

even high concentration of the salt (10% (w/v)). This result
could be very valuable, because the method can be applied
to removal of dye from effluents containing high
concentrations of salt without dilution.
Desorption and Regeneration Studies
Desorption of the dyes from the CTAB coated MNPs
was studied using different kinds of organic solvents

(methanol, acetone, 50% (v/v) methanol in 0.1 M HCl, and
50% (v/v) acetone in HCl 0.1 M). The obtained results are
demonstrated in Fig. 6. Desorption ability of methanol was
found higher than that of the other solvents. This can be
explained by suitable solubility of CTAB and the disperse
dyes in methanol. Desorption efficiencies higher than 99%
were obtained in a short time (1 min) and in a one-step
elution using 2 ml of methanol. Further experiments showed
that MNPs can be regenerated by methanol and reused for
seven successive removal processes with removal efficiency
higher than 99%. Under higher removal cycles, removal
efficiency decreased maybe due to oxidation, losing and/or
dissolving some amounts of the NPs during the successive
steps.
Removal of Dyes from Textile Wastewaters
Under optimum conditions, removal of the disperse dyes
was studied from a dyeing vat. The dyeing vat contained 2.5
× 10-5
M of acetic acid. The results showed that these dyes
can be removed from the matrix with removal efficiency
higher than 99%. Therefore, the proposed method can be
directly applied to removal of the disperse dyes without
further treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
In the present study, the CTAB coated MNPs as an
efficient adsorbent were successfully applied to remove the
disperse dyes from aqueous solutions. The amount of dye
adsorbed was found to be dependent on solution pH,
surfactant concentration, and ratio of initial dye
concentration to surfactant concentration. The results
showed that initial dye to CTAB concentration ratio is very
important to achieve high removal efficiency (≥95%) at
high concentrations of the dyes. Under this circumstances,
maximum tested dyes (500 mg L-1
) can be removed with
removal efficiency higher than 95%. In this condition, the
adsorbent capacity can be as high as 2000 mg g-1
. When a
simulated textile effluent was used as adsorbate, the
adsorption efficiency did not change. Also, MNPs can be
reused for more than seven times without any loss in
absorption efficiency. Finally, the magnetic properties of the
MNPs allow their separation from the effluent by a simple
magnetic field, and lead to the development of a clean and
safe process for water pollution remediation in accordance
with the new requirements of ‘‘green chemistry’’.
