Show more >The polluted water, mixture of chemicals and dyes, discharged by various textile and paper industries, is a serious problem for the environment, peculiarly the water. Dyes are stable to light, heat and oxidizing agents and are usually biologically non-degradable, which makes them complicated environmental pollutants. To examine the removal of dye from water, a three-dimensional poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and eosin Y were used, respectively, as a dye retention support and pollutant. The study of the interaction between dye and a hydrophilic polymer networks by the conformational modeling using computer software represents the goal of the present work. Both the swelling and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry studies show that the pollutant was well retained by the porous polymer network PHEMA. The conformational study of the system composed of polymer network/dye shows that the interaction of the oxygen (O) and bromine (Br) of eosin Y with the hydrogen (H) of the PHEMA depends on the polymer porosity that was varied by the cross-linking rate of the three-dimensional polymer networks. The results obtained by this work can be applied to improve the retention efficiency of such material for use in wastewater application.Show less >
