摘要

The urgent necessity to create affordable adsorbents for the effective elimination of leftover contaminants from wastewater arises from the significant water pollution resulting from the excessive use of dyes. A novel chitosan (CS) /pullulan (PL) hydrogel, chemically cross-linked using polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE), exhibited high swelling capacity, excellent mechanical stability, and superior adsorption performance. Adsorption tests indicated that CS/PL-2 hydrogel attained a 93.23% removal efficiency for congo red (CR) dye at the concentration of 1000 mg/L. The adsorption capacity of CS/PL-2 hydrogel was investigated in relation to various factors, such as temperature, initial concentration, pH, contact time, and the quantity of adsorbent used. Adsorption kinetics for CS/PL-2 hydrogel were examined utilizing both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, with the findings demonstrating that physical adsorption primarily governed the process. The maximum adsorption capacity identified for CS/PL-2 hydrogel, as the Langmuir model, was observed to be 953.60 mg/g, and the thermodynamic analysis of adsorption suggested that the process occurs spontaneously. After five cycles of adsorption, the removal rate of CS/PL-2 hydrogel remained at 70%. In conclusion, this hydrogel adsorbent offers a practical solution for treating CR contaminated wastewater.
