Title Biochar-based nanocomposite from waste tea leaf for toxic dye removal: From facile fabrication to functional fitness
Year 2022
Published
Abstract The present study utilized discarded tea leaf waste to produce 'Tea leaf biochar' (TLB) as the functional matrix for the fabrication of hybrid nanocomposite (nAg-TC), with colloidal deposition of silver nanoparticles (nAg) via modified chemical co-precipitation, for treatment of dye-laden wastewater. The chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and morphology of nAg-TC, and active surface functional groups involved in adsorption were identified using BET, FESEM-EDX, FTIR, TGA, XPS, and XRD. The nAg-TC matrix was found to be heterogeneous, mesoporous, thermostable, with rich in active surface functional groups (-OH, =NH, =CH, C=C, C=O, C=N, and C=C), and nAg as a dopant material. The dye adsorption results indicated the maximum removal efficiency (RhB = 95.89%, CR = 94.10%) at 300 K for rhodamine B (RhB) and Congo red (CR) concentrations of 25 mg L-1 and 22.5 mg L-1, respectively. The present investigation agreed with Freundlich isotherm (R-CR(2):0.991; R-RhB(2):0.993) and pseudo-second order kinetic (R-CR(2):0.999; R-RhB(2):0.999) model, indicating overall adsorption of RhB and CR through spontaneous and exothermic chemisorption on the heterogeneous surface of nAg-TC. The mechanism of RhB and CR adsorption was complex where nAg-TC, possessing the synergistic effects of TLB and nAg, showed surface complexation, electrostatic attraction, and H-bonding, leading to chemisorption. Study showed excellent reusability of spent nAg-TC, and commendable treatment efficiency for dye-laden real industrial effluents. The study exhibits substantial techno-economic feasibility of adsorbent and translates the principles of circular economy into synthesis of value-added products through sustainable management of biowaste and bioresource.
