Pollution Removal Performance of Chemically Functionalized Textile Waste Biochar Anchored Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Adsorbent

Abstract

Preparation of adsorbent materials in powder and polymeric composite form was achieved by controlled carbonization of ZnCl2 pretreated textile waste at low temperatures. Structural and surface properties of carbonized textile waste samples (CTW) and polymeric composites were prepared by the addition of CTW to PVDF-DMF solution at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 mass% ratios analyzed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and BET analysis. Adsorption performances of powder and composite adsorbents were investigated for MO dye removal from an aqueous solution. Zn-CTW obtained with carbonization of ZnCl2 treated textile waste at 350 °C presented 117.5 mg/g MO removal. Those were higher than CTW-350 and CTW-400. The presence of 1545 cm-1 band at the IR spectrum of Zn-CTW proved the formation of functional groups that increase dye adsorption performance with honeycomb-like pores on the surface. Zn-CTW reflected its properties onto the PVDF matrix. Improved porosity percentage, BET surface, and dye adsorption of Pz20 were recorded as 105.3, 15.22 m2/g, and 41 mg/g, respectively, compared with bare PVDF. Disposal of textile waste and preparation of functional activated carbon were achieved in a low-cost and easy way. Zn-CTW loaded PVDF composites are promising materials to use as a dye removal adsorbent from water or filtration membranes.
