This study focuses on the comprehensive recycling and utilization of zinc ferrite, a by-product of wet zinc refining, for the treatment of azo dye wastewater. It explores the adsorption performance of various materials on Amido Black 10B and analyzes the factors that influence the adsorption process. Zinc ferrite derived from the by-products of wet zinc refining, zinc ferrite synthesized via calcination, and titanium dioxide prepared using the sol–gel method are utilized as adsorbents, specifically targeting Amido Black 10B. By adjusting factors such as calcination temperature, mixing ratio, initial pH, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, initial concentration, and reaction temperature, the effects on the adsorption of Amido Black 10B are studied. Additionally, the performance of composite materials consisting of different crystalline forms of titanium dioxide and purified zinc ferrite is examined. Furthermore, the adsorption process of Amido Black 10B by purified zinc ferrite/titanium dioxide is analyzed in terms of kinetics and thermodynamics. The results show that titanium dioxide and purified zinc ferrite, prepared at temperatures of 300 °C to 550 °C, achieve over 90% removal efficiency when co-adsorbing Amido Black 10B. The best performance is observed at a ratio of 4:6 for purified zinc ferrite to titanium dioxide, with removal efficiency exceeding 80%. The second-order kinetic model fits the adsorption data well, and higher initial solution concentrations lead to decreased adsorption rates. The adsorption process of purified zinc ferrite/titanium dioxide on Amido Black 10B is spontaneous, exothermic, and reduces system disorder. Higher temperatures negatively impact the adsorption process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
