Nanocomposites composed of mixed iron and aluminium oxide (Fe2O3-Al2O3), have been synthesized by hydrothermal method, and further used as adsorbent for the adsorptive decolorization of Congo red dye from an aqueous system. The as-prepared nanomaterials were sintered at 500 degrees C and 1000 degrees C, to obtain pure Fe2O3-Al2O3 mixed composites. The XRD studies confirmed the formation of pure and crystalline FeOOH-AlOOH (as-prepared), gamma-Fe2O3-Al2O3 at 500 degrees C and alpha-Fe2O3-Al2O3 phases at 1000 degrees C. The morphology and size of the obtained nanocomposites were characterized by SEM and TEM. Effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of adsorbate have been studied. The optimum pH for maximum removal of Congo red in all the three phases of nanocomposites was found to be 7. The maximum removal capacity was 498 mg/g for gamma-Fe2O3-Al2O3 phases. Among the three different adsorbents, gamma-Fe2O3-Al2O3 shows complete removal within 15 min of contact time. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
