Abstract

This work focuses on an environmentally benign process for the removal of dyes and phosphate from water. Removal of dyes and phosphate by developing La(III)-bentonite@chitosan and La(III)-bentonite@polysulfone composite beads via phase inversion method has been delineated for the first time. The porosity and pore structures of polysulfone (PSf) beads were controlled through additives like La-Bnt. In this work, we have prepared the mentioned composite beads by a simple, facile, and scalable method. From the 20 mg/L phosphate feed concentration, we were able to remove 97.7% phosphate by La(III)-bentonite@polysulfone beads and 99.1% by La(III)-bentonite@chitosan beads. Whereas, the dye removal efficiency was obtained in the range of 79.2–99.4% for methyl violet (MV) dye from its 30 ppm feed solution. The study suggested that the prepared beads have the potential ability to be used for the removal of dyes and phosphate in environmental applications. We anticipate that designing and fabricating such low-cost composite materials will provide promising information for the removal of different pollutants from the water.
