Abstract
In this study, copper nanowire (NW-Cu) was used as an adsorbent to remove hazardous azo dye (methyl orange). Copper nanowires were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of related factors such as pH, sonication duration, dye concentration and adsorbent amount on methyl orange dye removal was tested. To optimize the absorption process, the response surface method and the central composite design using three levels and four effective factors were used. The highest removal percentage (89.1) was obtained in optimal conditions of 16 mg/L dye concentration, pH = 6, 16 minutes of sonication time and 18 mg of absorbent. After optimization, kinetics and isotherms were studied. The results of isotherm, kinetics and thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption is done using the Langmuir isotherm model with a correlation coefficient of 0.991 and the quasi-quadratic kinetics model with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. Copper nanowire can be used as an effective and cost-effective adsorbent to remove methyl orange from industrial wastewater.
