The copolymer beads prepared by suspension polymerization were decorated with MnO 2 nanoparticles and successfully implemented for the e cient removal of toxic organic contaminants from water. Copolymer-MnO 2 nanocomposite was further analysed using XRD, SEM, and optical microscope. The SEM images showed the surface characteristics of MnO 2 nanoparticles on copolymer beads. The e ciency of the copolymer-MnO 2 nanocomposite for the removal of model pollutant methylene blue and rhodamine B is then analysed by changing the concentration of pollutant. The results obtained exhibited 18.45 mg/g for methylene blue adsorption and 3.125 mg/g for rhodamine B. The adsorption equilibrium results were tted to Langmuir adsorption isotherm for both methylene blue and rhodamine B adsorption. The desorption studies were performed for ve consecutive cycles and material was showing good regenerating capacity towards both organic pollutants. The obtained results show that copolymer-MnO 2 nanocomposite is an e cient material for the removal of organic contaminants from wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
