چکیده

بسیاری از رنگ‌های آلی مانند رنگ کاتیونی متیلن‌بلو به‌دلیل ساختار پیچیده آروماتیک و حلالیت بالا در آب، سمی، سرطانزا و غیر قابل تجزیه‌ زیستی می‌باشند، لذا حذف آنها از پساب ضروری است. در این تحقیق، سیلیس نانوحفره SBA-15  به‌روش هیدروترمال سنتز و سپس به‌روش پساسنتزی با گروه تک‌شاخه آمینی (NH2-SBA-15) و دندریمرآمینی ‌(MDA-SBA-15) عامل‌دار شد. اثر اصلاح سطح بر روی کارایی جذب رنگ متیلن‌بلو در سیستم ناپیوسته بررسی شد. ویژگی نانو جاذب‌های سنتز شده با استفاده از آنالیزهای XRD، FT-IR، SEM و BET انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که در شرایط یکسان، کارایی حذف متیلن‌بلو با استفاده از نانو جاذب MDA-SBA-15، 37 میلی‌گرم بر گرم است که به‌ترتیب 6/2 و 3/3 برابر بیشتر از این کارایی برای جاذب‌های NH2-SBA-15 و SBA-15 است. فرایند جذب با استفاده از چهار مدل‌ ایزوترمی لانگمیر، فروندلیچ، تمکین و دوبینین-رادکوویچ مدل‌سازی شد. همبستگی زیاد داده‌ها با مدل جذب لانگمیر بیانگر جذب تک لایه‌ای متیلن‌بلو بر روی MDA-SBA-15 است. پارامترهای حاصل از ایزوترم تمکین نشان داد که روند جذب با MDA-SBA-15 گرمازا است. کارایی بیش از 90 درصدی MDA-SBA-15 نسبت‌ به دو نانو جاذب دیگر در حذف رنگ متیلن‌بلو از محیط آبی نشان داد که می‌توان از آن به‌عنوان یک جاذب موثر در فرایند تصفیه استفاده نمود.

چکیده [English]

Many organic dyes such as Methylene Blue are toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable due to their aromatic complex structure and high solubility in water. It is, therefore, essential to remove them from effluents discharged into the environment. In this study, SBA-15 mesoporous silica was synthesized by the hydrothermal method and later functionalized with mono- amine (NH2-SBA-15) and dendrimer amine (MDA-SBA-15). Then, the effect of surface modification on adsorption efficiency of Methylene Blue was examined in a batch system. The prepared materials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and BET analyses. The results showed that, under identical conditions, removal efficiency with MDA-SBA-15 was 2.6 and 3.3 times higher than those achieved with NH2-SBA-15 and SBA-15, respectively. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubnin–Radushkevich isotherms. Equilibrium data was best described by the Langmuir isotherm models, indicating a monolayer adsorption process. Tempkin isotherm parameters indicated that the adsorption process by MDA-SBA-15 was exothermic. The removal efficiency of Methylene Blue from aqueous solutions by MDA-SBA-15 was more than 90%, which was higher than the efficiency achieved by other nano-sorbents. This showed that MDA-SBA-15 could be used as an effective adsorbent in wastewater treatment.
