κ-Carrageenan/triazin-based covalent organic framework bionanocomposite: Preparation, characterization, and its application in fast removing of BB41 dye from aqueous solution

Abstract

A novel and high efficient adsorbent was prepared based on an environmentally friendly substrate, κ-carrageenan, and a triazine-based covalent organic framework as a co-adsorbent component. Combining these two precursors leads to an effective nanocomposite for removing Basic blue 41 dye from aqueous media. After confirm the structural of prepared composite by various analysis, the adsorption properties were investigated. The optimum conditions were obtained in: pH: 7, temperature: 25 °C and contact time: 210 min; and adsorbent dosage of 10 mg. According to the isotherms study, the basic blue 41 dye adsorption was matched to the Longmuir model with single-layer mechanism. The kinetic of adsorption was studied and fitted with pseudo-second order model with R² = 0.971. From the results the maximum adsorption capacity of 833 mg/g was obtained in 15 min and the reusability tests showed 24% decrease in yield after three cycles.
