Abstract

Water pollution, particularly from dye effluents, poses a significant threat to water quality and ‎human health. This study investigated the methylene blue (MB) adsorption potential of a ‎manganese-benzene 1,4-dicarboxylic acid organic framework (Mn-MOF), synthesized using ‎reflux controlled solvothermal method. The Mn-MOF was characterized by scanning electron ‎microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared ‎spectroscopy (FTIR), and pH-point of zero charge (pHpzc) analysis. Batch adsorption ‎experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption capacity of Mn-MOF, with a focus on ‎the effects of contact time. Kinetic studies, including the pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-‎second-order (PSO), fractal pseudo-second-order (FPSO), and Webber-Morris intra-particle ‎diffusion (IPD) models, were employed to assess the adsorption mechanism and equilibrium ‎behavior. The results indicated that the PSO model best described the MB adsorption process, ‎with the FPSO model showing an r² value of 0.941. The low C value of 0.16 mg/g suggested ‎minimal contribution from intra-particle diffusion to the adsorption process. Given the ‎promising results, this study highlights the potential of Mn-MOF for dye wastewater ‎remediation‎.
