In the context of mitigating the harmful impacts caused to the
environment, in particular the water pollution, by the indiscriminate
discharge of anionic dyes, this work reports the use of sodium titanate
nanotubes (NaTiNTs) functionalized with amine group (NaTiNTs-NH2),
obtained from the reaction of nanotubes with
3-aminopro-pyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), as adsorbent. The
physicochemical characterizations showed that APTMS interacts covalently
with the surface of NaTiNTs and the proposed adsorbent, NaTiNTs-NH2,
retained morphological and crystalline structure after the
functionalization. Remazol blue R (RB) was used as the model molecule of
anionic dye and the adsorption tests were carried outin the aqueous
solution, which showed that the matrix NaTiNTs-NH2 presents very high
adsorption capacity of RB dye (435.68 +/- 6.05 mgg(-1)) and the process
occurs at monolayer by chemisorption. The adsorption process is
thermodynamically favorable and exothermic in nature and. These results
suggest that NaTiNTs-NH2 can be used as an alternative adsorbent
material for the removal of anionic dyes in aqueous medium.
