Photodegradation of Acid red 18 dye by BiOI/ZnO nanocomposite: A dataset

Recent and Emerging Trends in Remediation of Methylene Blue Dye from Wastewater by Using Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Due to the increased demand for clothes by the growing population, the dye-based sectors have seen fast growth in the recent decade. Among all the dyes, methylene blue dye is the most commonly used in textiles, resulting in dye effluent contamination. It is carcinogenic, which raises the stakes for the environment. The numerous sources of methylene blue dye and their effective treatment procedures are addressed in the current review. Even among nanoparticles, photocatalytic materials, such as TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4, have shown greater potential for photocatalytic methylene blue degradation. Such nano-sized metal oxides are the most ideal materials for the removal of water pollutants, as these materials are related to the qualities of flexibility, simplicity, efficiency, versatility, and high surface reactivity. The use of nanoparticles generated from waste materials to remediate methylene blue is highlighted in the present review.

Experimental data on the adsorption of Reactive Red 198 from aqueous solution using Fe3O4 nanoparticles: Optimization by response surface methodology with central composite design

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles for Reactive Red 198 adsorption. The adsorbents were characterized by SEM and XRD. In this dataset, the influence of Reactive Red 198 dye concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on Reactive Red 198 dye adsorption by Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles was tested by central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles adsorbent was prepared by chemical co-precipitation. The process efficiency was achieved in optimal conditions including pH=7, adsorbent dosage equal to 0.5 g/L, initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L, contact time equal to 30 min, 88%. Overall, the data offer a facile adsorbent to remove Reactive Red 198 dye from aqueous solutions.
