Ultrasonic Assisted Adsorption of Rhodamine B (RhB) Dye by Albizia Stem Bark Lebbeck Modified by Fe2 (MoO4)3 Nanocomposite Synthesis: Experimental Design Methodology

applicability of Albizia Stem Bark Lebbeck Modified by Fe2 (MoO4)3 nanocomposite synthesis for removing Rhodamine B dye from aqueous solutions has been reported. Identical techniques including BET, IR, XRD, EDX, and SEM have been utilized to characterize this novel material. Also, the impacts of variables including initial Rhodamine B dye concentration (X1), pH (X2), adsorbent dosage (X3), and Sonication time (X4) came under scrutiny using central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The values of 10 mg L^-1, 0.025g, 6.0, 5.0 min were considered as the ideal values for Rhodamine B dye concentration, adsorbent mass, pH value, and contact time respectively. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data were fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R^2: 0.999) with maximum adsorption capacity (qmax: 98.0 mgg^-1) respectively. Thermodynamic parameters (R2: 0.998, ΔG°: -95.58 kJ mol^-1, ΔH°: - 29.24 kJ mol^-1, ΔS°: -131.49 kJ mol^-1 K^-1) also indicated Rhodamine B dye adsorption is feasible, spontaneous and exothermic. The overall results confirmed that Albizia Stem Bark Lebbeck Modified by Fe2 (MoO4)3 nanocomposite could be a promising adsorbent material for Rhodamine B dye removal from aqueous solutions.
