Description
Summary:In this work, MgO.Se.Te nanocomposites was fabricated and applied as an inexpensive and effective treatment for malachite green. The materials were characterized for morphology, cryptography, surface area using different techniques. In addition, adsorption tests have been performed as a function of contact time, pH, and initial dye concentration to study their impact on the decolorization of malachite green via MgOSeTe nanocomposite. The result verified nanocomposite formation with crystallite size 10.5 nm and a relative surface area of 42.0525 m²/g. Meanwhile, the MgOSeTe nanocomposite was employed for malachite green removal in an aquatic solution. The findings revealed that the maximum adsorption capacity value was 30.67 mg/g. Furthermore, the adsorption was found to follow the Freundlich isotherm models and follow the pseudo-second-order kinetics.
