    Journal: Int J Biol Macromol; 2021 Jan 15; 167():1076-1090. PubMed ID: 33186651.
    Abstract:
    The Basil seeds mucilaginous polysaccharide exhibits remarkable physical and chemical properties like high water-absorbing capacity, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The metal-organic frameworks are one of the most promising precursors made of metal clusters and organic connectors for the fabrication of advanced adsorbents due to their unique properties. In this study, the bionanocomposite of magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was successfully synthesized and applied to adsorb azo cationic and anionic dyes. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were pretreated with mucilage extracted from basil seeds to acquire negatively charged magnetite surface, followed by nucleation through attracting zinc cation, and then the growth of metal-organic frameworks which yields high-quality ZIF-8 crystals. The samples were characterized by Field Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. In the process of adsorption, influencing factors and recycling regeneration were discussed, and the adsorption mechanisms such as kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics were explored. The results of the adsorption process showed that maximum adsorption capacities were 9.09 and 13.21 mg/g for Methylene blue and Eriochrome Black T, respectively. The excellent reusability combined with its magnetic separation property makes the nanocomposite a promising adsorbent for the removal of cationic and anionic dyes.
