Green magnetic carbon/alginate biocomposite beads from iron scrap waste for efficient removal of textile dye and heavy metal
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules(2024)
摘要
The circular economy can help enhance the value of industrial waste and remediate the environment. This study considers the application of iron scrap from steel production as a free resource to produce magnetic adsorbent beads to remove methylene blue dye and lead (II) ions from wastewater. Composite beads were prepared by incorporating iron scrap and activated carbon into a calcium alginate gel using a simple ‘mix and drop’ synthesis. The optimized magnetic beads were stable and offered a large specific surface area. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model, was 476.19 mg g−1 for methylene blue and 163.93 mg g−1 for lead (II) ions. This study places emphasis upon the zero-waste principle and employs a scalable synthetic approach for the conversion of waste iron scrap into an adsorbent material capable of delivering significant environmental benefits.
