Abstract In this study, iron manganese composite oxide (FeMnOx) were integrated with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) to synthesize an effective adsorbent for acid orange (AO) and basic violet (BV), two widely used organic dyestuffs belonging to anionic and cationic, respectively. Among all the composites evaluated, the F eMnOx-MWCNTs with Fe–Mn ratios of 1:1 and load ratio of 45% achieved superior adsorption capacity than others, and was selected as the best adsorbent. The Characterization data indicated that the physicochemical properties and structural characteristics of FeMnOx-MWCNTs have changed obviously after modification, with larger specific surface area and richer groups. The maximum adsorption capacity of AO (403.23 mg/g) and BV (165.29 mg/g) could be attained under optimal conditions: 300 min, 0.05 g adsorbent dosage, 100 mg/L dyes and pH 2.0 (for AO) or pH 10.0 (for BV). Moreover, the adsorption kinetics of the two dyes were both well fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetics model, and the adsorption isotherms agreed well with the Freundlich model for AO while Langmuir model for BV. Moreover, the FeMnOx-MWCNTs with optimal FeMnOx content showed relatively higher final adsorption amount and faster adsorption rate, thus better fitting with the kinetics. A mechanism was proposed that physical adsorption is the dominator during the process. The results indicated that the introduction of F eMnOx into the MWCNTs significantly enhanced the dye removal efficiency, providing a promising method for the improvement of carbon nanometer adsorbents.
