A Study of The Ability to Remove Textile Dye (Eosin Y) Using a Novel Nano Co-Polymer

Abstract

In this paper, a nanoparticle co-polymer was made through condensation polymerization, which releases water as a byproduct when one mole of glycerol and one mole of phthalic anhydride react at various temperatures and periods. DSC and FT-IR were used to analyze the nano co-polymer produced. Adsorbed textile dye Eosin yellowish from aqueous solutions was disclosed in this paper, along with measurements of the nano co-polymer's particle size by AFM and XRD. The nano co-polymer had a particle size of 69.42 nm according to the results of the AFM and 69.04 nm according to the results of the XRD. Three distinct concentrations of nano co-polymer (1 ppm, 3 ppm and 5 ppm) as well as three different temperatures (298 K, 308 K and 318 K) were examined for their effects on the adsorption process. It is clear that these variables are crucial to the process. The findings of the experiment demonstrated that the exothermic nature of the reaction was demonstrated by the fact that the amount of eosin yellow dye that could be adsorbed on the surface of this nano co-polymer decreased as temperature increased. The findings obtained demonstrated the great efficacy of nano co-polymer in the removal of yellowish eosin textile dye.
