Abstract

This study explores the hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of novel, green, reusable aluminium metal–organic aerogels (Al-MOAs) designed for wastewater treatment. Using aluminium nitrate nonahydrate as metal precursor, glutaric acid and phloroglucinol as organic linkers, two aluminium metal–organic aerogels [Al-MOA (1) and Al-MOA (2)] were synthesized followed by thermal. The successful synthesis of aerogels was confirmed via IR, FE-SEM, EDX, and powder XRD analyses. The FE-SEM analysis revealed microporous surface favorable for Victoria blue dye adsorption and catalytic applications in phenol degradation. The effects of key parameters such as pH, time, and the concentration of Al-MOA (1) and (2) on dye adsorption efficiency were studied. The Al-MOAs also demonstrated catalytic efficiencies in phenol degradation indicating potential in wastewater treatment. Optimal adsorption efficiency was observed at 3 pH demonstrating 99% dye removal by Al-MOA (1). Additionally, in dye adsorption, Al-MOA (1) and (2) highlighting the potential for multiple reuse cycles, thus offering a sustainable, green, cost-effective approach towards wastewater treatment. This study contributes to the development of advanced, non-toxic, insoluble, reusable, sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment utilizing metal–organic aerogels.
