Abstract
This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a copper-based layered double hydroxide (Cu-LDH) composite via the coprecipitation method. The composite material aimed to effectively remove the anionic dye “Coomassie Brilliant Blue” (CBB) and exhibit antibacterial properties against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using various techniques. The adsorption of CBB dye was investigated by studying various physicochemical variables, including contact time, pH of the dye solution, and initial dye concentration. The optimal dosage and contact time for efficient CBB dye removal were determined as 0.07 g and 10 min, respectively. The results showed that Cu-LDHs exhibited a high adsorption capacity for CBB dye, with a maximum removal efficiency of 85% which could be achieved within 10 min, and the Cu-LDHs improved an experimental adsorption capacity at equilibrium qmax = 80 mg/g. The adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir isotherm model provided a good fit to the equilibrium data, indicating monolayer adsorption. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of Cu-LDHs was assessed against various bacterial strains using a diffusion method. The results demonstrated the inhibitory effects of Cu-LDHs and CBB-Cu-LDHs on bacterial growth at a dosage of 10 mg, indicating the potential of Cu-LDHs as antibacterial agents. The underlying mechanisms responsible for dye adsorption and antibacterial activity were discussed.
