Abstract:
The manganese ferrite spinel was synthesized by co-precipitation. The nano sized manganese ferrite characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron micrograph (SEM), tunneling electron micrograph (TEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. The adsorption ability of malachite green (MG) from the aqueous solution by manganese ferrite was investigated. It was found that pH value of 2 and contact time 30 min is favorable for adsorption of malachite green by manganese ferrite. The adsorption process follows second-order kinetics and Arrhenius behavior.
