In this study, three-dimensional polyaniline/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite (PANI/PVAL/MMT) hybrid aerogels with easy separation performance and highly effective reusable adsorption on both anionic and cationic dyes were successfully fabricated by a simple in-situ polymerization method. The resulting hybrid aerogels showed a well-defined hierarchical structure with PANI nanofibers coated on the skeleton wall. The adsorption performance of the hybrid aerogels on anionic and cationic dyes was systematically studied, demonstrating their excellent adsorption capacity.
Fabrication of adsorbents with excellent adsorption capacity, outstanding stability, easy separation ability, excellent recyclability and widely generality for organic dyes removal from wastewater remains challenging. Herein, three-dimensional polyaniline/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite (PANI/PVAL/MMT) hybrid aerogels with easy separation performance and highly effective reusable adsorption on both anionic and cationic dyes were fabricated by a simple in-situ polymerization method. As-prepared hybrid aerogels were characterized via infrared and Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectra mapping, small and wideangle X-ray scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, mercury intrusion porosimetry and elemental analysis. The results showed that MMT particles were successfully incorporated into aerogel matrix. Well-defined hierarchical structure, where PANI nanofibers are coated on the skeleton wall, can be observed for PANI/PVAL/MMT when the incorporation amount of MMT was around 11.1 wt%. The adsorption performance of as-prepared hybrid aerogels on both anionic and cationic dyes was systemically carried out at different solution pH, adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentration. The data analysis showed that the adsorption process for PVAL/PANI/MMT aerogel for Reactive Black 5, methyl orange and safranin followed Freundlich isotherm and the maximum
