Abstract
The removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from water was investigated using synthetic nano-clay magadiite (SNCM). SNCM was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment under autogenous pressure. A rosette-shaped single mesoporous magadiite phase with 16.63 nm average crystallite size and 33 m2.g-1 BET-surface area was recorded. The adsorption results indicated the pronounced affinity of the SNCM to the MB dye molecules which reached adsorption uptake of 20.0 mg MB dye/g of SNCM. The elimination of MB dye by the SNCM was kinetically and thermodynamically considered; a pseudo second order kinetic model was attained, and a spontaneous, chemical, and exothermic in nature was verified.
