Composite hydrogel was prepared by cross-link copolymerization of a mixture of acrylamide, and N,N-dimethylacrylamide using N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a cross-linking agent onto hydroxyethyl cellulose backbone. Several hydrogels (H{sub 1}–H{sub 5}) were prepared by varying the amount of acrylamide and N,N-dimethylacrylamide. Swelling characteristics in water of all the hydrogels were evaluated to identify the hydrogel having highest water swelling property. The hydrogel showing highest water swelling performance (H{sub 3}) was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and SEM studies. Swelling and deswelling kinetic studies of the hydrogel (H{sub 3}) were also carried out. The hydrogel (H{sub 3}) was used for the removal of congo red (CR), a toxic azo dye from its aqueous solution. Adsorption dynamics, kinetics and isotherms were also evaluated. The adsorption follows a pseudo second order kinetics, and the sorption data were well fitted with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The hydrogel (H{sub 3}) showed a high monolayer adsorption capacity (Q{sub m} = 102.4 mg g{sup −1}) for the CR dye adsorption. Graphical Abstract: .
