Thermodynamic evaluations revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic, and physically driven. The nanocomposites exhibited an outstanding selective adsorption behaviour towards MB from the mixture containing MB/RhB and MB/MO with separation efficiency of 99.10% and 77.34% for CaO-ES@GO, and 61.23% and 47.81% for CaO-FB@GO respectively. The particulate interaction mechanisms within the nanocomposites primarily involved π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, pore-filling, and electrostatic attraction. The cost analysis revealed that the developed nanocomposites are more economical for treating MB in a large-scale application. Based on the statistical analysis using response surface methodology (RSM), the contributing effects of temperature and adsorbent dosage, as well as the single effect of pH, had the most significant impact on MB removal. The nanocomposites demonstrate a promising potential for sustainable MB treatment.]]> Wed 20 Mar 2024 13:10:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47004 Tue 13 Dec 2022 11:13:24 AEDT ]]>
