Abstract

In this study, the removal of methyl violet 2B (MV-2B) using conventional and sono-assisted adsorption was investigated. A magnetic adsorbent (KCZF) supported zinc ferrite and copper ferrite was prepared using kaolin. Various analyses, such as BET, SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, zeta potential and VSM, were performed to determine the structure of KCZF. The BET analyses indicated that specific surface area was 86.56 m2/g. The magnetization saturation value for KCZF was determined as 4.85 emu/g. The removal of MV-2B for conventional adsorption was found to be 79.7% at original pH, in a KCZF amount of 0.8 g/100 mL, an initial MV-2B concentration of 20 mg/L, a contact time of 120 min and at a temperature of 20 °C. On the other hand, sono-assisted adsorption of MV-2B was found to be 88.8% at a KCZF amount of 0.6 g/100 mL, an initial MV-2B concentration of 20 mg/L, a contact time of 30 min, original pH and at a temperature of 20 °C. The results revealed that sono-assisted adsorption exhibited higher efficiency compared to conventional adsorption, with a shorter contact time to reach equilibrium. Based on the results, it was determined that the Langmuir isotherm model was suitable for describing the conventional adsorption of MV-2B, while the Freundlich isotherm model was found to be more appropriate for the sono-assisted adsorption of MV-2B onto KCZF. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best description for both conventional and sono-assisted adsorption of MV-2B onto KCZF.
