Abstract

In this paper, pectin-MnO2 and pectin-SnO2 nanocomposites were prepared at various compositions (3%, 5%, 7%, and 10%, pectin was the main component) using a chemical precipitation method in calcium chloride (CaCl2, 10% w/v). The prepared materials were analyzed using Fourier –Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. SEM topographies showed that the addition of MnO2 and SnO2 to pectin affects the morphology characteristics. EDX revealed that Mn element was present in pectin-MnO2 nanocomposite with relative weight of 2.4%. However, Sn element was found in pectin-SnO2 nanocomposite with relative weight of 6.85%. XRD result demonstrated SnO2 tetragonal structure in pectin-SnO2 nanocomposite and tetragonal crystal structure in pectin-MnO2 nanocomposite. The prepared nanocomposites were applied for the oxidative degradation of calmagite (an azoic dye) using H2O2 as an oxidizing agent by changing initial calmagite concentration, H2O2 dose, and temperature. The initial calmagite solution was not affected by H2O2 alone or pectin-MnO2 and pectin-SnO2. Pectin-MnO2 nanocomposite displayed the highest decolorization yield (100%) after only 5 min of reaction (C0 = 30 mg/L, H2O2 = 8 mL/L, pH = 6, T = 20 °C). The decolorization process fitted well to the first-order kinetic model. The activation energy (Ea), calculated during calmagite degradation using the system pectin-MnO2 nanocomposite /H2O2, was small (Ea = 4.55 kJ/mol) confirming the efficiency of the proposed system for the decomposition of azoic dye molecules in aqueous medium.
