Özet

This study aims to prepare different possible composites using hBN and chitosan in varying ratios and compare them with each other. Composites c/hBN:100/0, c/hBN:75/25 and c/hBN:50/50 were prepared in varying mass ratios. Depending on the changing mass composition, the characterization results are presented in comparison with each other. The surface structures were observed by SEM analysis. FTIR analysis was used for functional group determination. Surface and pore identification was carried out by BET analysis. Crystalline formations were revealed by XRD analysis. True density values were determined by pycnometric analysis. Also, the RB 49 dye removal behavior of the composites was examined and compared with each other. c/hBN:100/0 and c/hBN:75/25 showed the highest removals at pH 4 and as 86.53 and 90.2%, respectively, while c/hBN:50/50 showed it at pH 3 and as 86.59%. The highest adsorption capacities were determined as 105.28, 160.71 and 159.01 mg/g for c/hBN:100/0, c/hBN:75/25 and c/hBN:50/50, respectively at 0.3 g/L dosage. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and intraparticle diffusion model fitted well with the processes over time. The Freundlich isotherm model was found to be compatible with the processes. The positive ΔH and ΔS values and negative ΔG values of each process were presented.
