Abstract

The imperative to mitigate dye pollution from wastewater has propelled the exploration of efficient adsorbents. This study deals with the preparation and evaluation of Nb₂O₅-supported natural zeolite (NbX_NZ) for enhanced dye adsorption performance. A facile hydrothermal method was employed to prepare NbX_NZ with varying niobium precursor loadings. Comprehensive material characterization employing FESEM, EDX, TGA, XRD, and FTIR analyses elucidate the successful incorporation of Nb₂O₅, revealing altered morphological and thermal properties. The adsorption test exhibited a notable augmentation in adsorption capacity for Congo red dye, particularly with the Nb15_NZ sample, showcasing a nearly two-fold increase compared to the parent natural zeolite. The findings underscore the potential of NbX_NZ as promising materials for anionic dye adsorption, paving the way for advancing wastewater treatment solutions and further investigations into metal oxide-modified zeolites.
