Green Synthesis of Iron-Nano-composite Capped by Ogbono Tree Leaves Extract to Remove 2-(N, N-dimethyl-4-aminophenyl) azobenzene carboxylic acid and Sodium-4-{[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl] diazenyl} benzene-1-sulfonate Colorants from Contaminated Water

Lately, green synthetic procedure have been acknowledged as notable pathway in iron oxide synthesis due to their magnetic environment and ability be recovered from reaction concoction using external magnetic field. Moreso, several organic colorants in industrial effluents are toxic and require removal before discharge. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to synthesize green iron-nano-composite capped by ogbono tree leaves (Ig-nZVI) extract to remove 2-(N, N-dimethyl-4-aminophenyl) azobenzene carboxylic acid (MR) and Sodium-4-{[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl] diazenyl} benzene-1-sulfonate (MO) colorants from contaminated water using appropriate standard methods. The nano-composites were categorized by visual observation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. Data obtained for adsorption study reveal that colourant removal was obtained at an optimal pH of 5. Colorant removal improved with increase in contact time, temperature and adsorbent doses to the maxima, then dropped thereafter. Freundlich isotherm model fitted the colorant removal process. Thermodynamic assessments show that removal of MR was endothermic, spontaneous while removal of MO was endothermic, spontaneous. These outcomes indicated that Ig-nZVI has prospects for removal of organic colorants in aqueous media. Hence, iron-nano-composite capped by ogbono tree (Ig-nZVI) leaves could also be advocated as a necessary, dependable, sustainable, and eco-friendly route to synthesize green nano-composites.Downloads
