In this work, eco-friendly superabsorbent hydrogel (SAH) films based on cassava starch (CSt) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were successfully fabricated and optimized via a one-pot synthesis and UVphotopolymerization under an air atmosphere to obtain the highest swelling ratio (Seq) and to be employed as an effective adsorbent for removing methylene blue (MB). The optimal CSt-g-PAA film exhibited uniform porous structures with a high specific surface area (24.99 m2/g), acceptable Young’s modulus (60.9 MPa), and a relatively high Seq value (35,645% or 356 g/g). It also revealed selective adsorption toward MB dye. The adsorption process of MB onto CSt-g-PAA SAH followed the pseudo-secondorder and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm), partition coefficient (PC), and removal efficiency for MB adsorption were evaluated to be 1,044 mg/g, 4.08 mg/g.lM-1, and 95%, respectively, making the CSt-g-PAA SAH film one of the most efficient starch-based adsorbents for MB removal. Thermodynamic studies indicated spontaneous and endothermic adsorption. The plausible adsorption mechanism was mainly described by electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the prepared CSt-g-PAA SAH film displayed excellent reusability, remarkable biodegradability, good biosafety, and low cost. Therefore, it may be a promising and sustainable adsorbent for removing dye pollutants and enhancing the ecosystem.
