Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is one of synthetic dyes used as a biological stain, antifungal, and antiprotozoal material in fish farming industry, even though the growing concern of its health hazards. For the first time TiO2/ZnS nanocomposites with boost adsorption properties for MG removal were synthesized through the simple successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. TiO2 with 80/20 heterogeneous anatase/rutile phase was prepared afterwards various contents of ZnS were deposited over TiO2 via SILAR. The samples were analyzed using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, HRTEM, DRS, zeta potential, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements. The impact of adsorption parameters; initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time on the MG elimination were investigated. The adsorption studies confirmed that the nanocomposite is characterized with low adsorbent dose 0.125 g/L, high dye removal 95.2%, and fast adsorption equilibrium time 10 min. Various adsorption kinetic models; Weber-Morris intraparticle diffusion, pseudo-first order, Elovich, pseudo-second order, were studied. The Dubinin–Radushkevich showed better conventionality than Langmuir and Freundlich isother model. High adsorption capacity (1118.6 mg/g) of mesoporous TZS2 is attributed to the synergistic effect of large surface area (350 m2/g) and highly negative surface charge (− 33.7 mV).
