Development and Characterization of an Eco-friendly Stishovite Clay-manganese Dioxide Nanocomposite for Efficient Dye Removal from Wastewater
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 4 (2024) pp. 295-303
Abstract
The contamination of water bodies with artificial dyes causes serious health and ecologicalconcerns. The discharge of dyes into water systems from various industries, including textiles, paper, and others, causes significant ecological disturbances and poses health risks to humans. This study deals with the development of eco-friendly Nano composite made with stishovite clay and MnO2 for the purpose of removing dye pollutants from wastewater through adsorption. The composite's adsorptive capabilities are improved by the addition of MnO₂, while the stishovite clay serves as a stable matrix. The various material characterization technique was employed both stishovite clay and Nano composite sample. X-ray diffarction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis were all employed to characterize the nanocomposite thoroughly. XRD confirmed the presence of crystals, whereas FT-IR revealed excellent incorporation of MnO₂, with vibrational peaks unique to the composite structure. SEM and TEM revealed improved surface shape and dispersion of MnO₂ nanoparticles, leading to an increase in surface area. The BET study demonstrated a substantial increase in both the pore volume and surface area, a critical factor in the enhancement of dye adsorption capability. According to the results, the stishovite-MnO₂ nanocomposite is a long-term, environmentally friendly, and very effective way to deal with dye pollution.
