The uniqueness of this work is the comparison of manganese ferrites/ polyaniline (Mn x Fe 3 À x O 4 /PANI) produced using K 2 S 2 O 8 as an oxidant for aniline with the efficacy of spinel manganese ferrite with various Mn 2+ ratios for the polymerization of aniline. The structural and morphological properties of the nanocomposites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. XRD results confirmed the formation of a single-phase cubic spinel structure with a lattice constant of approximately 8.3 Å. The surface enriched by Mn 2+ exhibited an enhanced valence of +3 and +4, increased lattice oxygen content, facilitated ferrite reduction, and improved the oxidative performance of Fe 3+ . The saturation magnetization decreased with an increase in Mn +2 ratios and PANI contents. The nanocomposites exhibited excellent adsorption of Lanaset Brown B dye, which was investigated as a model textile dye. Various adsorption capacities (q max ) for the nanocomposites were calculated in a range of 122.39-215 mg/ g, depending on the synthesis conditions. Optimization parameters, such as pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration, as well as reusability, were described. The Langmuir isotherm is a better model for describing the adsorption process of the nanocomposites. An evaluation of thermodynamic parameters suggests the sorption process is feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic.
