Abstract

In this paper, urethane polycarboxylate (UPC) as a novel adsorbent was synthesized and characterized. Dye removal ability of UPC from aqueous solution of single and binary systems was studied. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to characterize UPC. Basic Blue 41 (BB41), Basic Red 18 (BR18), and Basic Violet 16 (BV16) were used as cationic dyes. Dye removal isotherm and kinetic were evaluated. The effect of UPC dosage, initial dye concentration, and inorganic anions on dye removal was investigated. The capacity of UPC to remove BB41, BR18, and BV16 were 333 mg/g, 278 mg/g, and 222 mg/g, respectively. Dye removal kinetics and isotherm using UPC were fitted with the pseudo-second order and Langmuir model, respectively. The results showed the UPC might be used as a dye adsorbent to treat multicomponent systems containing cationic dyes.
