摘要

This study explores the enhancement of methylene blue (MB) adsorption from aqueous solutions using hydroxyapatite (HAp) grafted with aminotrimethylphosphonate (AMP). Leveraging Morocco's natural phosphate resources, HAp was synthesized and modified with varying concentrations of AMP (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) to evaluate its adsorption performance. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis indicated a reduction in particle size with increasing AMP content, which improved the dispersion and stability of the HAp particles. Zeta potential measurements revealed that AMP grafting reduced the negative surface charge, particularly in acidic conditions, favoring the adsorption of the cationic MB molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed increased crystallinity in the AMP-grafted composites, which provided a more stable adsorbent structure. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed successful AMP incorporation, leading to changes in the vibrational modes of key functional groups. The equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe) of the composites increased with AMP content, with the HAp + 20% AMP composite achieving the highest qe of approximately 0.0854 mg/g, demonstrating the effectiveness of AMP grafting in enhancing the adsorption properties of HAp. These findings suggest that AMP-grafted HAp composites are highly efficient adsorbents for methylene blue removal, offering a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment.
