The nanoparticles zero-valent synthesis by black tea extract to remove rb 238 using synthetic and natural wastewater by packed bed reactor

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize nanoparticles of iron zero valences from black tea (BT-NZVI) and bentonite supported with black tea zero-valent iron (B-BT-NZVI) using black tea extract in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to remove the reactive blue pigment 238 (RB). 238) from water. The characterization tests for BT-NZVI and B-BT-NZVI were performed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The zeta potential in the stability of iron nanoparticles was also measured. For measuring the porous material's surface area, the Brunaune Emmett-Teller (BET) method was used the average diameter of iron nanoparticles was less than 50 nm. BT-NZVI and B-BT-NZVI were used as absorbents in the batch system study. Two adsorption balance models, Langmuir and Freundlich, are used to describe the adsorption process. The Freundlich model matches well with Reactive Blue 238 dye data and has proven successful in the adsorption process. Kinetic data acquired using the pseudo-first and pseudo-second model examined under optimal reaction conditions and a variety of NZVI concentrations. both batch and up-flow packed flow bed reactor with peroxide H2O2 can degrade dyes and utilized in industrial wastewater treatment.
