Abstract

In this study, the preparation of low-cost, eco-friendly adsorbent Poly (Acrylic acid -acryl amide)/Moringa plant, (AAc-AM)/MO hydrogel composite, the composite preparation via free radical polymerization by using Specific ratios between (AM/AAc) as a monomer and moringa plant. The innovator adsorbent was estimated to be characterized by TGA and FT.IR, TEM, and FE-SEM. A suite of adsorption tests was studied using the Optimal conditions like contact time, pH solution, the concentration of the Drug, and weight of the hydrogel composite. The adsorption capacity decreased from (8.11 – 4.123 mg/g ) when the importance of the hydrogel composite increased from (0.025-0.15 g), demonstrating the number of adsorption increases with increased pH, that increased adsorption capacity with continuous in a base medium. The adsorption isotherms of hydrogel composite could be illustrated well by the Freundlich Langmuir and Timken equations. The process of Drug adsorption on hydrogel composite depended on Freundlich isotherms more than Langmuir and Timken equations.
