dc.description.abstractSynthetic dyes are highly endangering the environment and widely contributing to the water pollution. Congo red is also a synthetic dye with which many research works have been done to remove Congo red (CR) using adsorption technology. However, the adsorption capacity is still unsatisfactory. This work deeply investigated the CR removal utilizing engineered nanosilica, derived from paddy husk. The engineered nanosilica was produced from paddy husk at 700 °C for 6 h following the activation process using CaCl2 at 500 °C for 30 min. Adsorptive experiments were done under a set of experimental conditions (dosage, 0.5 g/L; pH 6; rpm 150; holding time 24 h) to identify the best adsorption capacity. The engineered nanosilica with the highest adsorptive capacity (Qe), among other adsorbents considered, (Qe of raw paddy husk -18.48 mg/g; Qe of biochar -25.42 mg/g; nanosilica - 48.53mg/g; and engineered nanosilica - 57.2 mg/g) was chosen for further studies: kinetics, thermodynamics, isotherm, and rate limiting analysis, so as to understand the mechanism of adsorption of engineered nanosilica for CR removal. Additionally, to understand the functional properties of engineered nanosilica, the point of zero charge (pzc) and FTIR analysis were performed. Results revealed that the addition of the catalyst (CaCl2) improved surface functional groups (oxygen containing functional groups) remarkably. Moreover, the removal of CR declined with raising temperature, representing endothermic adsorption process. Pseudo-second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model were highly suitable for explaining the adsorptive mechanism of engineered nanosilica for CR removal. The frst-time use of Boyd’s external difusion model clearly explained the strong involvement of chemisorption process in the removal of CR by the novel engineered nanosilica. All in all, the engineered nanosilica is an effective, environmentally benign, and afordable biomaterial to remove CR from polluted water.en_US
