In this study, an Al2O3/graphene oxide/halloysite nanotube (Al2O3/GO/HNT) nanocomposite has been synthesized and used as an adsorbent for the sequestration of cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic congo red (CR) dyes from wastewater.

An ultra-highly efficient Graphene Oxide/TiO2/Bentonite (GO/TiO2/Bent) sponge was synthesized using an in situ hydrothermal method. GO/TiO2/Bent sponge with a GO mass concentration of 10% exhibited the highest treatment efficiency of methylene blue (MB), combining adsorption and photocatalytic degradation, and achieved a maximum removal efficiency of 100% within about 70 min. To further prove the ultra-high removal capacity of the sponge, the concentration of MB in water increased to ten times the original concentration. At so high a MB concentration, the removal rate was still as high as 80% in 90 min. The photocatalytic mechanism of GO/TiO2/Bent sponge was discussed through XPS, PL and radicals quenching experiments. Here Bent can immobilize TiO2 and react with a photo-generated hole to increase the amount of hydroxyl radical; effectively enhancing the degradation of MB.GO sponge enlarges the sensitivity range of TiO2 to visible light by increasing the charge separation of TiO2 and reducing the recombination of photo-generated electron–hole pairs. Additionally, GO sponge with an interconnected porous structure provides an effective platform to immobilize TiO2/bent and makes them be easily recovered. The as-prepared sponge develops a simple and cost-effective strategy to realize the ultra-highly efficient treatment of dyes in wastewater.

Dyes are a type of pollutant that have been discharged into water streams by various industries and had harmful effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, present work was directed to recycle acrylic fibers waste to be used as an adsorbent to exclude dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) from dyes-polluted wastewater. Acrylic fibers waste was converted into membrane followed by chemical grafting with p-phenylenediamine monomer to form functional modified membranes. Afterwards, some characterization analyses; Fourier transform-infrared, scanning electron microscope, swelling behavior, and porosity properties were performed for the acrylic fiber grafted membrane (AFGM). For obtaining the best conditions that permit the highest adsorption capacity of the AFGM, some preliminary experiments followed by general full factorial design experiments were displayed. Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms and kinetic studies evaluations were applied. Results revealed that, the adsorption capacities of the AFGM were 61% for Methylene blue and 86% for Congo red that stated the high affinity of the AFGM to the anionic dyes. The reusability of the AFGM membranes in different cycles for 3Rs processes “Removal, Recovery, and Re-use” indicated the efficiency of the AFGM to be used in wastewater treatment.
