A unique aspect of this research lies in the combination of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanofibers with Auo@PPh2-PIILP to create a nanogold composite (NGC). This NGC has proven to be highly efficient in removing methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. The prepared nanogold composite NGC was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX), and Elements Distribution Mapping (EDM). Several factors were examined in batch adsorption experiments to determine their impact on dye adsorption. These factors included the initial pH range of four to eight, the dosage of NGC adsorbent ranging from 0.001 to 0.008 g, the initial concentration of MB dye ranging from 10 to 50 mg L−1, and the contact period ranging from 10 to 80 min. It has been observed that NGC is more efficient in removing MB from polluted water. The results of the pseudo-second-order model show good agreement between the calculated adsorption capacity (qe)cal. (4.3840 mg g−1) and the experimental adsorption capacity (qe)exp. (4.6838 mg g−1) values. Experimental findings suggest a monolayer capping of MB dye on the NGC surface with a maximum adsorption capacity Qm of 18.622 mg g−1 at 20 °C, indicating that it is well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. |
