Abstract
Conventional powdered adsorbents often suffer from aggregation, difficult recovery, and poor reusability, limiting their practical application in wastewater treatment. In this study, a 3D-printed zeolite/MgAl layered double oxides (MgAl LDO) composite (3D-Ze/LDO) was successfully developed to overcome these challenges while offering dual-functional dye removal capabilities. Materials characterization, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, confirmed the successful formation of zeolite - LDO composite in the 3D-printed structure. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that both 3D-Ze and 3D-Ze/LDO achieved high methylene blue (MB) removal at approximately 98 %, while the incorporation of LDO significantly enhanced congo red (CR) removal from 67 % (3D-Ze) to 79 % (3D-Ze/LDO) due to the introduction of anion-exchange sites. Kinetic studies revealed that PSO kinetics best described both MB and CR adsorption, indicating a chemisorption-dominated process. Additionally, 3D-Ze/LDO exhibited good reusability over four adsorption cycles, demonstrating its stability and potential for practical applications. These findings highlighted the advantages of 3D-printed adsorbents in addressing the limitations of powdered materials while leveraging the dual-functionality of zeolite and LDO for efficient cationic and anionic dye removal.
