Abstract

Here, we prepared bio-nanohydrogel nanocomposite (BHNC) using tragacanth gum (TG) as a renewable, green, and abundant polysaccharide. Vitamin C-functionalized carbon nanotube (VCFCNT) was prepared using microwave and ultrasound irradiation and then embedded into TG to increase TG's surface area and adsorptive ability. The obtained BHNCs were characterized using different techniques. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that microwave and ultrasound did not affect the structure of VCFCNT and TG. The results of methylene blue (MB adsorption) indicated that the best solution pH was 11, the contact time was 60 min, the MB concentration was 100 ppm, and the temperature was 40 ℃. The isothermal and kinetic calculations showed linear Langmuir (maximum adsorption capacity was 863 mg/g), and Dubinin-Radushkevich models matched better with the results. Based on thermodynamics, the process was spontaneous and exothermic with physical interactions. Finally, the process was mainly controlled by the film-diffusion model.
