EXPLORING MIL-53 (Al) ADSORPTION EFFICIENCY FOR INDIGO CARMINE DYE

Abstract

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industrial areas, including plastic, textile, and food. However, they are a major environmental problem due to their negative effects on water quality and living organisms. To address one of these problems, MIL-53 (Al) is served as an adsorbent for removing indigo carmine dye, being widely used in textile industries. The synthesis of MIL-53 (Al) was carried through the hydrothermal method and different synthesis conditions were studied to find the best adsorbent to remove indigo carmine. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDS were used to assess materials. Isotherm models and kinetic models were investigated for indigo carmine adsorption, revealing that the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided best fit to data. The highest adsorption capacity was calculated as 145 mg/g. The study contributes valuable insights into the adsorption of indigo carmine by MIL-53 (Al).
