Abstract

In this work we report the comparative study of the dye adsorption behavior of a Pectin-based terpolymer gel, pectin-graft-(poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid)-co-acrylamide) (Pec-g-poy(AMPS-co-AAm)) and its nanocomposite with ZnO, (Pec-g-poy(AMPS-co-AAm)/ZnO) from aqueous solutions. Both the hydrogel systems have been synthesized using microwave irradiation technique through free radical polymerization. Swelling behavior of the systems was studied in buffer solutions of pH ranging from 1.2 to 13 and maximum swelling was observed in neutral medium. The equilibrium swelling of parent gel was found to be 28.12 g/g whereas it was 16.54 in the case of nanocomposite. Cationic dye, crystal violet, is employed to assess the adsorption efficiency of the gel samples from aqueous solutions. The influence of initial dye concentration was investigated. A maximum adsorption of 329 and 568 mg/g has been observed for the parent gel and the nanocomposite respectively. The presence of ZnO is observed to enhance the adsorption capacity of Pec-g-poy(AMPS-co-AAm) gel considerably. The kinetic studies revealed a second order adsorption process with high rate of initial adsorption in the case of the nanocomposite when compared to the parent gel and the isotherm studies reveals that the adsorption process fits well into Langmuir model. The evaluation of thermodynamic parameters indicated the adsorption process to be exothermic and spontaneous. Desorption studies under acidic condition showed that almost 96% of the adsorbed dye molecules could be desorbed to the stripping solution of pH 1.2 which support the use of these hydrogel systems for the repeated use as adsorbents for cationic dyes.
