| Abstract | Mass production and consequent accumulation of plastic wastes in the environment urges the development of technologies for the efficient plastic wastes utilization and valorization to materials and products to support circular economy. Here, we report a novel conversion of PET plastic to a magnetic microparticles adsorbent prepared by co-precipitation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with oligomeric products of PET aminolysis. The obtained adsorbent represents highly water-dispersible oligo(terephthalamide) particles of several tens mu m size embedding magnetic nanoparticles randomly distributed in the organic matrix. The PET-derived magnetic adsorbent was used for the rapid and facile magnetic separation of an anionic dye (Congo Red, CR) from dye simulated water samples. The adsorbent containing plenty of amine groups showed superb adsorption capacity for CR of ca. 780 mg/g which is pH dependent and optimal at pH 6.5. Furthermore, the microparticular, non-aggregative state of the adsorbent coupled with its magnetic functionality provided rapid saturation of the adsorbent with dye by ca. 70% of the equilibrium adsorption capacity within 5 min and possibility of instantaneous removal from solution by a magnet. The proposed here material design addresses simultaneously the problem of plastic wastes utilization and preparation of cost-effective and efficient adsorbents for environmental cleaning purposes. |
