High efficiency of treated-phengite clay by sodium hydroxide for the Congo red dye adsorption: Optimization, cost estimation, and mechanism study.

Wastewater textile dye treatment is a challenge that requires the development of eco-friendly technology to avoid the alarming problems associated with water scarcity and health-environment. This study investigated the potential of phengite clay as naturally low-cost abundant clay from Tamgroute, Morocco (TMG) that was activated with a 0.1 M NaOH base (TMGB) after calcination at 850 °C for 3 h (TMGC) before its application in the Congo red (CR) anionic dye from the aqueous solution.

Novel insights into crystal violet dye adsorption onto various macroalgae: Comparative study, recyclability and overview of chromium (VI) removal.

In this study, effective biomaterials were prepared from marine macroalgae, namely Fucus spiralis (F.S), Ulva intestinalis (U.I), and Corallina officinalis (C.

Application of Taguchi method, response surface methodology, DFT calculation and molecular dynamics simulation into the removal of orange G and crystal violet by treated biomass.

In this work, the efficiency of the treated plant (TPCE) as an effective biosorbent for removing the orange G (OG) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from aqueous solution was investigated. TPCE was characterized by FT-IR, S, pH and SEM-EDX. The influence of parameters such as bioadsorbent dose, contact time, initial concentration, temperature and pH was tested using Taguchi experimental design (TED) with L orthogonal array (five parameters in two levels).

Efficient removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution using memory effect property of layered double hydroxide material.

Treating wastewater containing pollutants with layered double hydroxide (LDH) material attracts excellent interest. LDH materials are known by the memory effect property, which leads to the reconstruction of the LDH structure after its calcination and rehydration. In this study, LDH material was prepared, calcined, and then rehydrated in an aqueous Cr(VI) solution.

An efficient and adsorption of methylene blue dye on a natural clay surface: modeling and equilibrium studies.

The present research work revolves around the evaluation of the elimination of the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution by the exploitation of natural clay (TMG) from South-East Morocco. Several physicochemical techniques were used to characterize our TMG adsorbate, namely, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis, and zero charge point (pHpzc). The morphological properties and elemental composition of our material were identified using scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer.

Synthesis, characterization, and comparative study of MgAl-LDHs prepared by standard coprecipitation and urea hydrolysis methods for phosphate removal.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), known as a class of anionic clays, have attracted considerable attention recently due to their potential applications in different areas as catalyst materials, energy materials, and adsorbent materials for environmental remediation, especially for anionic pollutant removal. In this study, magnesium aluminum layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) was synthesized by two methods: standard coprecipitation and urea hydrolysis. Their textural properties and morphologies were examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential (DTG) analysis, and point of zero charge (pH).
