Water pollution caused by industrial dyes such as methylene blue, due to their chemical stability and negative environmental impacts, poses a serious challenge in wastewater management. This research focuses on the development of efficient adsorbents from activated carbon films prepared from oleaster seeds using the alginate gel method. To address brittleness and improve the mechanical properties of the adsorbent, 5 to 20
wt. % polyurethane was added. Activated carbon powder was prepared from oleaster seeds, and then the carbon film adsorbent was synthesized using sodium alginate and finally modified with polyurethane for the removal of methylene blue dye. Adsorption experiments were conducted under optimal conditions (pH=10, adsorbent dose 1 g/L, dye concentration 10 mg/L, temperature 25 °C, time 120 min). The AC-Alg-5 % PU adsorbent exhibited 89 % adsorption efficiency and a capacity of 27.17 mg/g. Analyses including FE-SEM, BET, and FTIR were performed. Examination of isotherms and kinetic models of adsorption indicate physical and chemical adsorption simultaneously, but the thermodynamic results of adsorption indicate the dominance of physical adsorption. This study demonstrates the potential of flexible activated carbon films modified with polyurethane and prepared from the low-cost oleaster seed material as an attractive option for industrial wastewater treatment and membranes applications.
