| Abstract: | A hectorite (H) clay sample has been modified with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) using homogeneous and heterogeneous routes. Both modification methodologies resulted in similar products, named HHOM and HHET, respectively. These materials were characterized by CO2 gas adsorption, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic nuclei of carbon-13 and silicon-29. The effect of two variables (contact time and metal concentration) has been studied using batch technique at room temperature and pH 2.0. After achieving the best conditions for Cr(VI) adsorption, isotherms of this adsorbate on using the chosen adsorbents were obtained, which were fitted to non-linear Sips isotherm model. The maximum number of moles adsorbed was determined to be 11.63, 12.85 and 14.01 mmol g−1 for H, HHOM and HHET, respectively, reflecting the maximum adsorption order of HHET > HHOM > H. The energetic effects (ΔintH°, ΔintG° and ΔintS°) caused by chromium ion adsorption were determined through calorimetric titrations. |
