Adsorption isotherms,kinetic, and desorption studies on removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous solutions by polymeric adsorbent

Adsorption of Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) on aminopyridine modified poly(styrene‐alt‐maleic anhydride) crosslinked by 1,2‐diaminoethane as an ion exchange resin has been investigated in aqueous solution. Adsorption behavior of these metal ions on the resin was studied by varying the parameters such as pH (2–6), adsorbent dose (0–4.0 g/L), contact time (0–240 min), and metal ions concentration (20–300 mg/L). Adsorption percentage was increased by increasing each of these parameters. The isotherm models such as: Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich were used to describe adsorption equilibrium. The results showed that the best fit was achieved with the Langmuir isotherm equation, yielding maximum adsorption capacities of 81.30, 49.02, and 76.92 mg/g for Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II), respectively. The pseudo‐first‐order, pseudo‐second‐order, and intra‐particle diffusion kinetics equations were used for modeling of adsorption data and it was shown that pseudo‐second‐order kinetic equation could best describe the adsorption kinetics. The intra‐particle diffusion study revealed that external diffusion might be involved in this case. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 41642.     

Characteristics and factors influencing Pb(II) desorption from a Chinese clay by citric acid

Soil contamination by heavy metals has attracted worldwide attention, since its highly toxicity and potential threaten to the human health. Thus, in this study, the desorption behaviors of Pb(II) by citric acid from a Chinese clay were evaluated. According to the results, Pb(II) removal percentage reached around 60% within 2 h. The acidic condition, relative high concentration of citric acid and contamination levels were found to be beneficial for Pb(II) desorption. During the desorption process, the originally fixed Pb(II) was first replaced by H⁺, especially at low selectivity sorption sites. The released Pb(II) was then chelated by organic ligands from citric acid.     

Adsorption characterization of lead(II) and cadmium(II) on crosslinked carboxymethyl starch

The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions with crosslinked carboxymethyl starch (CCS) was investigated as function of the solution pH, contact time, initial metal‐ion concentration, and temperature. Isotherm studies revealed that the adsorption of metal ions onto CCS better followed the Langmuir isotherm and the Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm with adsorption maximum capacities of about 80.0 and 47.0 mg/g for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions, respectively. The mean free energies of adsorption were found to be between 8 and 16 kJ/mol for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions; this suggested that the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions onto CCS occurred with an ion‐exchange process. For two‐target heavy‐metal ion adsorption, a pseudo‐second‐order model and intraparticle diffusion seem significant in the rate‐controlling step, but the pseudo‐second‐order chemical reaction kinetics provide the best correlation for the experimental data. The enthalpy change for the process was found to be exothermic, and the ΔS^θ values were calculated to be negative for the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions onto CCS. Negative free enthalpy change values indicated that the adsorption process was feasible. The studies of the kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics indicated that the adsorption of CCS was more effective for Pb(II) ions than for Cd(II) ions. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymer‐grafted banana (Musa paradisiaca) stalk as an adsorbent for the removal of lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions from aqueous solutions: kinetic and equilibrium studies

This study examined the effectiveness of a new adsorbent prepared from banana (Musa paradisiaca) stalk, one of the abundantly available lignocellulosic agrowastes, in removing Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent (PGBS‐COOH) having a carboxylate functional group at its chain end was synthesized by graft copolymerization of acrylamide on to banana stalk, followed by functionalization. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of solution pH, ionic strength, contact time, metal concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature. A pH range of 5.5–8.0 was found to be effective for the maximum removal for both Pb(II) and Cd(II). Metal uptake was found to decrease with increase in ionic strength due to the expansion of the diffuse double layer and, more importantly, the formation of some chloro complexes (since NaCl was used in the adjustment of ionic strength), which do not appear to be adsorbed to the same extent as cations [M²⁺ and M(OH)⁺]. The kinetic studies showed that an equilibrium time of 3 h was needed for the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on PGBS‐COOH and adsorption processes followed a pseudo‐second‐order equation. The Langmuir isotherm model fitted the experimental equilibrium data well. The maximum sorption capacity for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions was 185.34 and 65.88 mg g^?1, respectively, at 30 °C. The thermodynamic parameters such as changes in free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) were derived to predict the nature of adsorption. The isosteric heat of adsorption was found to be independent of surface coverage. Adsorption experiments were also conducted using a commercial cation exchanger, Ceralite IRC‐50, for comparison. Synthetic wastewater samples were treated with the adsorbent to demonstrate its efficiency in removing Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from industrial wastewaters. Acid regeneration was tried for several cycles with a view to recovering the sorbed metal ions and also restoring the sorbent to its original state.

Characterisation and adsorption properties of oxalate-loaded hematite composite for Cd(II) and Pb(II) adsorption: Equilibrium models,thermodynamic and kinetic studies

In this study, different reagents have been examined to improve the adsorption ability of hematite for the removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The best adsorption result has been obtained using oxalate-loaded hematite. The equilibrium isotherm studies show the best result was attained in the Langmuir model for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. Therefore, homogeneous adsorption is dominated, which was emphasised by three-parameter-isotherm models. The experimental data fit well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Pb(II) adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous, but the Cd(II) adsorption was exothermic and unspontaneous.     

Use of a selective extractant-impregnated resin for removal of Pb(II) ion from waters and wastewaters: Kinetics,equilibrium and thermodynamic study

Adsorption of Pb(II) ion by a novel extractant-impregnated resin, EIR, was studied as a function of various experimental parameters using batch adsorption experiments. The new EIR was prepared by impregnating gallocyanine (GCN) onto Amberlite XAD-16 resin beads. The EIR was characterized by nitrogen analysis and SEM micrographs. The new EIR showed excellent selectivity factor values (α) for Pb(II) adsorption respect to other metal ions. The effects of some chemical and physical variables were evaluated and the optimum conditions were found for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm was fitted with the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity (q_max) of EIR for Pb(II) ions was found to be 367.92 mg g⁻¹. The kinetic studies showed that the intra-particle diffusion is the rate-controlling step. Also, the intra-particle diffusion coefficients, D_ip values, were of the order of 10⁻¹² m² s⁻¹. The values of enthalpy (ΔH°) were positive, which confirms the endothermic nature of adsorption process. Also, the positive entropy changes (ΔS°) were showed that the randomness increased along with the adsorption process. In addition, the obtained negative values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) indicated feasible and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process at different temperatures. The new adsorbent was very stable so that it can be successfully used for many consecutive cycles without significant loss in its adsorption capacity.     

Biosorption of Pb(II) using Gundelia tournefortii: Kinetics,equilibrium, and thermodynamics

In this paper, the feasibility of Gundelia tournefortii was studied as a novel, high-capacity biosorbent for removing lead ions from synthetic wastewater in a batch system. The effects of various parameters such as temperature, initial concentration, initial pH, biosorbent dosage, and contact time were investigated. Based on batch results, the optimum operating conditions were found to be pH 5, biosorbent dosage of 25 mg, and temperature of 20°C in the range of lead initial concentrations from 5 to 100 mg/L. The equilibrium contact time was 60 min. The biosorption mechanism can be well described by the Langmuir isotherm with a monolayer maximum adsorption capacity of 144.928 (mg/g) at 20°C and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic studies proved that the sorption process was physical, spontaneous, feasible, random, and exothermic. In the second step, the ability of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the adsorption capacity of Gundelia tournefortii for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution was examined. The model was developed using a three-layer feed-forward back-propagation (BP) network with 5, 12, and 1 neurons in the first, second, and third layers, respectively. The Levenberg–Marquardt BP training algorithm (LMA) was found to be the best BP algorithm with a minimum mean squared error of 0.000867 and a minimum relative squared error of 0.032771. The comparison between the results of ANN and experimental data showed that ANN has a superior performance (R²= of 0.998) in the prediction of the Pb(II) removal process.     

Adsorption on activated alumina. II — kinetic behaviour

The kinetics of adsorption of water vapour, dimethyl ether, isobutylene, and methanol on activated alumina have been investigated by gravimetric uptake rate and breakthrough curve measurements. Intraparticle diffusivities were determined by matching the experimental response curves to appropriate theoretical models. At low concentration the kinetic-behaviour is straightforward. The sorption rate is controlled by macropore diffusion with contributions from both the Knudsen and molecular mechanisms, depending on the conditions. For water vapour at higher pressures beyond the point of inflection of the isotherm there appears to be a significant contribution from surface diffusion.     

Lead(II) Adsorption from Aqueous Solution by Poly(ethylene terephthalate)-g-Acrylamide Fibers

In this study, a reactive fibrous adsorbent was prepared by graft copolymerization of Acrylamide (AAm) onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers and the adsorption properties of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution by the reactive fibers were examined by batch equilibration technique. The effects of graft yield, pH, adsorption time, initial ion concentration and adsorption temperature on the adsorption amount of Pb(II) ion was studied. The results show that the adsorption amounts of Pb(II) ion increased with grafting yield, shaking time, initial ion concentration and adsorption temperature. Adsorption of Pb(II) ion was strongly affected by pH. A Lagergren pseudo-second-order was the model that best described the adsorption mechanism. It was found that the adsorption isotherm of the Pb(II) ion fit Langmuir-type isotherms. From the Langmuir equation the adsorption capacity was found as 39.57 mg/g fiber for Pb(II) ion for the copolymer with a graft yield of 15.7%. Quantitative desorption of Pb(II) from reactive fibers were found to be 96% by 5 M HNO₃. Five adsorption–desorption cycles demonstrated that the reactive fibers were suitable for repeated use without considerable change in adsorption capacity. The results of the thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption processes was endothermic and spontaneous.

Adsorption and desorption of copper(II) from solutions on new spherical cellulose adsorbent

An investigation was conducted on the adsorption and desorption of copper(II) from aqueous solutions with a new spherical cellulose adsorbent containing the carboxyl anionic group. Various factors affecting the adsorption were optimized. The adsorption of Cu²⁺ ions on the adsorbent was found to be dependent on the initial time and pH, the concentration, and the temperature. The adsorption process follows both Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms and was found to be endothermic (ΔH = 23.99 kJ/mol). The Cu²⁺ ions adsorbed on the adsorbent can be recovered with a NaOH or HCl aqueous solution. The maximum percentage of recovery is about 100% when 2.4 mol/L HCl solution is used. In addition, only 7.2% of the adsorption capacity is lost after 30 replications of the adsorption and desorption. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigation of Pb(II) adsorption onto natural and synthetic polymers

Adsorption of toxic metal ion Pb(II) onto two different insoluble humic acids (IHAs) obtained from Beysehir (BIHA) and Ermenek (EIHA) low grade lignites and two synthesized terpolymers: styrene-divinylbenzene-methacrylic acid (SDBM) and styrene-divinylbenzene allylmethacrylate (SDBAM) were investigated and compared with commercial activated carbon (AC). The synthesized polymers were characterized by FTIR. Effects of pH (in neutral and acidic range), time, and initial metal concentration on the effectiveness of IHAs and terpolymers were determined. All synthesized adsorbents could adsorb Pb(II) with much higher capacity at half of the retention of AC in acidic medium. The adsorption capacities varied in the range of 51–76 mg g⁻¹. The affinity order of polymers in acidic medium for Pb(II) ions was observed as: SDBAM>SDBM>BIHA≈EIHA>AC. IHAs fit Freundlich model while SDB polymers were fitting Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacities in neutral medium were 48 mg g⁻¹ for SDBM and 15 mg g⁻¹ for BIHA. Desorption studies for the polymer of highest performance indicated that about 90% desorption was achieved at 5 h by using EDTA regenerant solution. The polymer can be used repeatedly in Pb(II) adsorption with close capacities to initial use. The higher selectivity of SDBAM to Pb(II) ions in multimetal solution was also indicated in the study. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012     

Adsorption of Ni(II) on ion exchange resin: Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies

This article describes the ion exchange of a heavy metal Ni(II) from aqueous solutions onto a Dowex HCR-S, cationic resin. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of various parameters such as pH, resin dose, stirring speed, temperature, contact time and initial Ni(II) concentration on the removal of Ni(II). Adsorption rate increased with the increase in initial nickel concentration, stirring speed and temperature. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms were measured for the single component system, and the experimental data were analyzed by using Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin, Khan, Sips, Toth, Koble-Corrigan and Radke-Prausnitz isotherm equations. The Sips equation appears to fit the equilibrium data. Different models were tested for their applicability. Adsorption kinetic data were modeled using the Lagergren pseudo-first-order, Ho??s pseudo-second-order and Elovich models. It was found that Ho??s pseudo-second-order model could be used for the prediction of the system??s kinetics. Thermodynamic activation parameters such as ??G*, ??S* and ??H* of the adsorption of Ni(II) on Dowex HCR-S cationic resin were also calculated.

Electrochemical removal of boron from water: Adsorption and thermodynamic studies

The present work provides an electrochemical removal of boron from water and its kinetics, thermodynamics, isotherm using mild steel and stainless steel as anode and cathode respectively. The various operating parameters on the removal efficiency of boron were investigated, such as initial boron ion concentration, initial pH, current density and temperature. The results showed that the optimum removal efficiency of 93.2% was achieved at a current density of 0.2 A dm^?2 at pH of 7.0. First‐, second‐order rate equations, Elovich and Intraparticle models were applied to study adsorption kinetics. Adsorption isotherms of boron on Fe(OH)₃ were determined and correlated with isotherm equations such as Langmuir, Freundlich and D‐R models. Thermodynamic parameters, such as standard Gibb's free energy (ΔG°), standard enthalpy (ΔH°) and standard entropy (ΔS°), were also evaluated by Van't Hoff equation. The adsorption process follows second‐order kinetics. The adsorption of boron preferably fits with Langmuir adsorption isotherm suggesting monolayer coverage of adsorbed molecules. The adsorption of boron onto Fe(OH)₃ was found to be spontaneous and endothermic. © 2011 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering     

Adsorption of Pb(II) Ions Using Humic Acid Coated Chitosan-Tripolyphosphate (HA-CTPP) Beads

A new humic acid (HA) based adsorbent was prepared by coating humic acid on chitosan tripolyphosphate (CTPP) beads. Humic acid-chitosan tripolyphosphate (HA-CTPP) beads thus obtained were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Swelling capacity studies of CTPP and HA-CTPP beads conducted in the pH range, pH = 1–10 showed that HA-CTPP beads are more stable against swelling than CTPP beads. Equilibration of HA-CTPP beads in water for different pH showed that leaching of HA from the beads is negligible and the beads are stable for adsorption applications. Adsorption of Pb(II) ions onto HA-CTPP beads were studied as a function of various operational parameters such as initial pH, metal ion concentration, and contact time. The results showed that HA-CTPP beads are suitable for Pb(II) ions adsorption and the kinetics of sorption very well fit into pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir model was found to be more suitable for explaining the observed adsorption data, giving a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 223.7 mg/g. HA-CTPP beads could possibly find application in the treatment of waste water contaminated with other toxic and/or heavy metals.
