| Abstract: | The increasing global water demand and widespread water pollution necessitate innovative and sustainable treatment solutions. This thesis explores the development and characterization of a nanocomposite bio-absorbent made from cellulose extracted from sawdust, aimed at improving water purification processes. Cellulose, due to its natural abundance, biodegradability, and renewability, serves as a promising material for this purpose. The study focuses on enhancing its adsorption capacity for removing pollutants, particularly Methylene Blue dye. The research includes a comprehensive literature review on cellulose and nanocomposites, followed by the synthesis and characterization of cellulose nanocomposites using technique of UV-Visible spectroscopy. Laboratory experiments investigate the influence of parameters such as contact time, adsorbent mass, initial dye concentration, and solution pH on adsorption efficiency. The results demonstrate rapid initial adsorption with equilibrium achieved quickly. Increasing the adsorbent mass enhances the removal rate but decreases efficiency due to site saturation. Optimal adsorption occurs in neutral to basic pH conditions. These findings confirm that cellulose nanocomposites offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional water treatment methods. |
