In this study, amino-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes ( MWCNTs - NH 2) were successfully synthesized via an improved method and used for removal of organic dyes in aqueous solution. The synthesized MWCNTs - NH 2 were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), etc. The adsorption capacity and selectivity of MWCNTs - NH 2 for organic dyes was evaluated using rhodamine B ( RhB ), malachite green (MG), methyl orange (MO) and congo red (CR) as models. The selective adsorption toward anionic dyes was found for the MWCNTs - NH 2, and MO was selected as a typical anionic dye to deeply investigate the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamics study revealed that the adsorption of MO onto MWCNTs - NH 2 was spontaneous, exothermic and physisorptive in nature. The results indicated that MWCNTs - NH 2 are promising nanomaterials for removal of anionic dyes from industrial wastewater.

The magnetic adsorbent, Fe3O4@[Ni(HL)2]2H2[P2Mo5O23]·2H2O (Fe3O4@1), is synthesized by employing the nanoparticles Fe3O4 and polyoxometalate hybrid 1. Zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) curves show that the blocking temperature of Fe3O4@1 was at 120 K. Studies of Fe3O4@1 removing cationic and anionic dyes from water have been explored. The characterization of Fe3O4@1, effects of critical factors such as dosage, the concentration of methylene blue (MB), pH, adsorption kinetics, isotherm, the removal selectivity of substrate and the reusability of Fe3O4@1 were assessed. The magnetic adsorbent displayed an outstanding removal activity for the cationic dye at a broad range of pH. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm models revealed that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@1 was mainly governed via chemisorption. The maximum capacity of Fe3O4@1 adsorbing substance was 41.91 mg g−1. Furthermore, Fe3O4@1 showed its high stability by remaining for seven runs of the adsorption-desorption process with an effective MB removal rate, and could also be developed as a valuable adsorbent for dyes elimination from aqueous system.
