Abstract

The adsorption of malachite green on ethylenediamine—mixed metal oxide composite (MMC) was investigated through a batch study to explore the possibility of removing malachite green from an aqueous solution. MMC has been synthesized by the co-precipitation-induced grafting method and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area, and point of zero charge (pHzpc). Malachite dye adsorption was optimized concerning essential physio-chemical parameters such as variation in contact time, alteration in pH, variable concentration, and temperature. The process follows a combined pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.999) and Freundlich isotherm models (R2 = 0.996). The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 574.71 mg/g. Adsorption of dye onto MMC was found to be spontaneous (ΔG = − 4.84 kJ/mol), and endothermic with the value ΔH = 15.72 kJ/mol. Methanol/water solution was found suitable for regenerating the adsorbent. When compared with relevant adsorbents, MMC was found better and more promising adsorbent under ambient conditions. Thus, an energy-efficient and atom economic protocol for the synthesis of ethylenediamine fabricated bimetallic oxide has been achieved with excellent dye removal capacity from water.
