Alumina-zirconia composite prepared by combustion method showed efficient removal of Congo red and Methylene blue from aqueous solutions, with adsorption mechanism influenced by pH. Adsorption kinetics followed Pseudo-second-order model, and isotherm models were Langmuir and Liu models.
Alumina-zirconia (Al2O3-ZrO2) composite was prepared by combustion method and used to remove Congo red and Methylene blue from aqueous solutions. It was characterized using SEM-EDS, XRD and gas adsorption techniques. The results obtained from gas adsorption and SEM agree with each other, showing meso- and macro-porosity of inter-agglomerate pores. The removal of the two dyes was pH dependent, acidic pH favoured Congo red removal, while basic pH favoured Methylene blue. The, mechanism of adsorption was not limited to electrostatic attraction between the adsorbent and the dye molecules. Adsorption kinetic of both dyes was consistent with Pseudo-second-order model. The data obtained fitted to Langmuir and Liu isotherm models, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 57. 50 and 53.44 mg g(-1) for Congo red and Methylene blue, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic. The mechanism of adsorption was elucidated using XRD and FTIR techniques.
