Abstract:
The adsorbents based on conductive polymer with different inorganic products have proven to be promising for the high removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. The nanocomposite of polyaniline/zirconium oxide was synthesized through the chemical polymerization using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to prove the synthesis of nanocomposite material. Polyaniline/Zinc Oxide nanocomposite was used as effective adsorbents for the removal of methyl orange from aqueous phase. The effects of different system variables such as initial dye concentration, temperature and contact time were investigated. The results indicated that Polyaniline/Zinc Oxide nanocomposite have considerable potential for the removal of methyl orange from aqueous solution.
