The present study immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to enhance the reactivity of nZVI and prevent its aggregation. This novel composite (nZVI/MWCNT) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that nZVI particles dispersed on the surface of the MWCNTs. The composite was used to remove the diazo dye Direct Red 23 from aqueous solution. The effects of nZVI to MWCNT mass ratio, nanocomposite content, solution pH, initial dye concentration and temperature were studied. The optimum nZVI/MWCNT mass ratio was 1:3. Batch experiments suggest that degradation efficiency decreased as the initial dye concentration increased and increased as the nanocomposite content increased, decreasing the pH from 8 to 4. The reaction followed a pseudo-first-order model under the operational conditions investigated in this study.

In this work, a design equation was presented for a batch-recirculated photoreactor composed of a packed bed reactor (PBR) with immobilised TiO2-P25 nanoparticle thin films on glass beads, and a continuous-flow stirred tank (CFST). The photoreactor was studied in order to remove C.I. Acid Orange 7 (AO7), a monoazo anionic dye from textile industry, by means of UV/TiO2 process. The effect of different operational parameters such as the initial concentration of contaminant, the volume of solution in CFST, the volumetric flow rate of liquid, and the power of light source in the removal efficiency were examined. A rate equation for the removal of AO7 is obtained by mathematical kinetic modelling. The results of reaction kinetic analysis indicate the conformity of removal kinetics with Langmuir-Hinshelwood model (kL-H = 0.74 mg L-1 min-1, Kads = 0.081 mg-1 L). The represented design equation obtained from mathematical kinetic modelling can properly predict the removal rate constant of the contaminant under different operational conditions (R2 = 0.963). Thus the calculated and experimental results are in good agreement with each other.

Background: To remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) predicated on reduced expanded graphene oxide (rEGO) was used as the activator of persulfate. Methods: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were used to investigate the surface morphology and to examine the surface elemental composition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the chemical compositions of the synthesized compound. In this study, the effects of pH (3-9), activator dose (0.4-1.6 g L-1), persulfate concentration (0.192-0.768 g L-1), and reaction time (0-60 minutes) on the removal of 10 mg L-1 MB were studied by nZVI -reduced expanded graphene oxide/persulfate (nZVI@rEGO/PS) process. Results: The maximum removal efficiencies of MB at optimum operational conditions (pH 3, activator dose = 1.2 g L-1, persulfate concentration = 0.576 g L-1, and reaction time = 20 minutes) by nZVI@rEGO/PS process was 96%. The chemical method was used to prepare expanded graphene. The volume of natural flake graphite increased about 25 times after the process. SEM image of the nZVI@rEGO showed the presence of nZVI placed on the EGO surface in chain structure with a diameter about 100 nm. The EDS analysis of the activator indicated the existence of Fe element to an amount greater than 50%. Conclusion: According to the results, nZVI@rEGO is considered as a promising activator of persulfate.

The nano-zero valent iron (nZVI) has been reported as an excellent material to decolourize the anionic dyes. Aggregation of nZVI tends to reduce its reactivity. Due to this reason, modifications of nZVI were applied by using bentonite. Bentonite supported nano-zero valent irons (B-nZVI) was synthesized by using reduction method of ferrous ions and sodium borohydride in presence of bentonite. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of composite nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) in decolorized of acid orange II from aqueous solutions. All the three adsorbent materials (nZVI, B-nZVI and bentonite) were characterized by physical, chemical, mineralogical and morphological properties such as Brunnaer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with auger electron spectroscopy (XPS-AES), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The batch adsorption tests for all adsorbent materials have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of both materials in dye removal. The five effects have been analyzed in Batch test among others concentration, dose, pH, kinetic and temperature. The study found in all effects, BnZVI (qe opt = 8.9286 mg/g) showed the higher adsorption capacity followed by nZVI (qe opt = 8.1224 mg/g) and bentonite (qe opt = 5.8469 mg/g). The effectiveness of B-nZVI was due to the dispersion of nZVI particles bentonite particles, consequently provided more sites for adsorption. This study discovered that B-nZVI has a high potential to be a low-cost adsorbent for decolorized anionic dye from synthetic dye wastewater.
