ABSTRACT
The present research deals with the synthesis and viability of Sawdust biochar/Fe3O4 nanocomposite
toward textile waste water treatment. The structure, functionality, and morphology of the nanocomposite
were determined by FT-IR, powder XRD, and SEM. Removal of the textile dye Reactive Blue 21 (RB21)
was almost 75% under optimum conditions. The value of Langmuir dimensionless separation factor
RL indicated a favorable adsorption (0 < R L < 1). Langmuir constant (KL, i.e., 0.15) symbolizes that there
is high affinity of the adsorbent for the adsorbate. The value of Freundlich constant was found to be
2.78 (n>1), hence denoting favorable sorption. The negative values for free energy indicated a spontaneous
reaction. Positive value for enthalpy suggested the endothermic nature of adsorption. The kinetic data
showed a pseudo first-order kinetic model. The calculated value of qt agreed with the experimental
value of qt at equilibrium. The results depicted that sawdust biochar/Fe3O4 nanocomposites are efficient
adsorbents for removing RB21 and has potential application in treatment of textile wastewater.
