The adsorption of navy blue and yellow F3G dyes in waste water of
dyeing fabric having ability for anti NIR detection device by Ni-Zn layered
hydroxide salt (LHS) and Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been studied
in this work. Ni-Zn LHS was synthesized by hydrolysis method using nickel
acetate and zinc acetate salts as precursors. Mg-Al LDH was synthesized by coprecipitation
method of magnesium nitrate and aluminum nitrate salts. Waste
water of fabric dyeing for anti NIR detection device was obtain through
hydrothermal process of mixed solution of navy blue and yellow F3G. To obtain
optimum adsorption condition for each dye on each adsorbent, variation of
acidity, concentration of dye and interaction time has been done. It has been
also studied the ability of adsorbent to reused.
The result showed that optimum adsorption condition of navy blue and
yellow F3G on Ni-Zn LHS and Mg-Al LDH was at pH 3 and 4, respectively. The
optimum interaction time for navy blue and yellow F3G on Ni-Zn LHS was 120
and 150 minutes, respectively, while that for navy blue and yellow F3G on Mg-Al
LDH was 90 and 120 minutes. Adsorption of both disperse dyes by the two
adsorbents followed Ho pseudo second order kinetics. Adsorption equilibrium of
navy blue on both adsorbent followed Freundlich isotherm adsorption, while
that of yellow F3G followed Langmuir isotherm adsorption. When applied to
adsorb dyes in waste water, Ni-Zn LHS has better capability than Mg-Al LDH, as
indicated by its adsorption capacity as high as 52.33 mg/g, while that of Mg-Al
LDH was 30.54 mg/g. Calcination of the already used adsorbent increased the
adsorption capacity of Mg-Al LDH to 84.75 mg/g, but decreased the adsorption
capacity of the Ni-Zn LHS to 42.65 mg/g
