Abstract
The nickel oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using the solvothermal method in the oleic acid to remove congo red via an adsorption process. Furthermore, for the first time, in this study subsequently regeneration of deactivated adsorbent by low-energy ultrasound waves as an inventive technique was investigated. The morphology, porosity, and crystallinity of the as-synthesized NPs were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Congo red, a water-soluble azo dye, is adsorbed by nickel oxide nanoparticles, reaching about 83.20% adsorption within two hours with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.0099 min−1. In the regeneration process, the nanoparticles regenerated by low-frequency ultrasound waves up to 94.35% within 35 min. The obtained data shows that the amount of regenerated nanoparticles increased with the intensity of ultrasonic irradiation. Most importantly, it can be recycled by ultrasound irradiation, which retains high performance in 3 cycles, proving its promising application for different environmental decontamination.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (IJEST) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of environmental science and technology, innovation, engineering and management.
A broad outline of the journal''s scope includes: peer reviewed original research articles, case and technical reports, reviews and analyses papers, short communications and notes to the editor, in interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental science and technology, both natural and man made.
The main aspects of research areas include, but are not exclusive to; environmental chemistry and biology, environments pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil, point and non-point sources pollution, heavy metals and organic compounds in the environment, atmospheric pollutants and trace gases, solid and hazardous waste management; soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites; environmental impact assessment, industrial ecology, ecological and human risk assessment; improved energy management and auditing efficiency and environmental standards and criteria.
