Abstract

In this paper, the effect of SnO₂ impurity on the surface charge and adsorption properties of TiO₂ samples is investigated. The experimental value of the zero charge point for TiO₂ with 3%, 6% and 12% of SnO₂ equals 3.53, 3.97 and 3.2, respectively. The adsorption activity of the samples was studied on model solutions of the anionic dye – Congo red. The maximum adsorption capacity (q_exp) equals 24.6 mg/g for 3Sn/TiO₂, 25.0 mg/g for 6Sn/TiO₂ and 39.1 mg/g for 12Sn/TiO₂. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models were used to describe the adsorption mechanism of Congo red dye on the surface of Sn/TiO₂ samples. Based on the results of the studies of Congo red adsorption by the surface of titanium dioxide doped with Sn, all samples agree best with the Langmuir model. The correlation coefficients for the Langmuir isotherms are in the range of 0.9927 - 0.9996, while the values of R² for the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms are in the range of 0.721 - 0.8329 and 0.8283 - 0.9433, respectively. Experimental data obtained from adsorption isotherms show that the TiO₂ sample containing 12% SnO₂ is the most active. The best result of Congo red removal occurred at a concentration of C_o = 5 mg/l (% of removed dye ≈ 83% for 12Sn/TiO₂; 81% for 6Sn/TiO₂ and 71% for 3Sn/TiO₂). Therefore, the studied samples of TiO₂ doped with SnO₂ can be used as effective adsorbents of Congo red from aqueous solutions.
