Activated carbon with magnetic nanoparticles was prepared from the roots of Chrysopogon zizanioides by impregnating the biomass with Fe3+ followed by carbonization in a muffle furnace. To assist the carbonization process, Zn2+ ions were also taken along with ferric ions during impregnation. The pHZPC, density of surface functional groups, surface acidity constants and advanced characterizations like FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, SEM with EDAX, DLS, XRD and VSM analysis were carried out. The adsorption and natural sunlight induced photooxidation of two cationic dyes, namely, methylene blue and rhodamine B in presence of potassium persulphate were studied by varying parameters like time, dye concentration, pH of the dye solution, amount of magnetic activated carbon and concentration of persulphate ions. The adsorption capacities of methylene blue and rhodamine B were found to be 5.97 and 0.96 mg/g, respectively. Photocatalytic oxidation of the dyes was very rapid in the presence of persulphate with the observed rate constants being 5.3 × 10–3 min–1 for methylene blue and 13.0 × 10–3 min–1 for rhodamine B. The magnetic activated carbon is found to be effective even after five successive degradation experiments.

In this study, magnetic activated carbon (MAC) nanoparticles were coated with an organic hybrid of silicotungstic acid that makes MAC suitable for adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of dyes. The prepared composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Dye adsorption and photocatalytic properties of composite were examined by studying the decolorization of model dyes methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), and their mixture solutions. The results show that the composite can selectively adsorb MB molecules from binary mixtures of MB/MO or MB/RhB, and its adsorption capacity is enhanced as compared with the MAC. The composite is also, unlike MAC, a good photocatalyst in the degradation of dyes under sunlight, visible, and UV irradiation and can be separated by magnet, recovered and reused. Removal is via combination of adsorption and then photocatalytic degradation through direct oxidation by composite or indirect oxidation by •OH radicals. While the sunlight is not able to degrade alone MO and RhB solution in the presence of composite, it degrades the MO and RhB mixed with MB solution.
