Polymeric nanocomposites polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PAPV) and polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone-neodymium/zinc oxide (PAPV-NZO) were synthesized for the effective dye removal through adsorption process. Neodymium doped zinc oxide (NZO) with various proportions of neodymium were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and incorporated into the copolymer matrix via oxidative polymerization technique. NZO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphological features, and functional group linkages of the PAPV-NZO were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Acid red 52 dye was chosen as a synthetic toxic effluent to study the removal efficiency of the nanocomposites with different parameters viz. time, concentration, adsorbent dosage and pH. The studies were performed under visible light irradiation and the residual dye concentration was analyzed by UV-visible spectrophotometer. PAPV-NZO exhibited greater dye removal rate than PAPV due to the incorporation of NZO that enhanced the conducting nature, stability and surface area of PAPV-NZO. The optimum concentration of the dye and the adsorbent dosage of the PAPV-NZO were determined to be 80 ppm and 50 mg, respectively. At acidic condition of pH 2, the removal capacity of PAPV-NZO was found 99.6%. Kinetic and isotherm models have been studied on the optimum parameters to investigate the nature of the adsorption process. The process followed pseudo second order kinetics and was best suited to the Langmuir model. The maximum dye adsorption capacity of PAPV-NZO was estimated to be 159.36 mg g(-1). From the results, it can be assured that the PAPV-NZO can be effectively used for the removal of dye pollutants in water.
