A green and facile modification of red mud waste with MIL-100 (Fe) for multi-pollutant adsorption from wastewater: isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of modified red mud with MIL-100 (Fe) as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
• Developed a composite of activated red mud and MIL-100 (Fe).
• Conducted adsorption studies to assess effectiveness for multiple pollutants.
• Analyzed adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics.
• The modified red mud showed high efficiency in removing multiple pollutants.
• Adsorption data fit well with established isotherm models.
• Kinetic studies indicated rapid pollutant uptake.
