Heavy metals uptake from aqueous solutions and industrial wastewaters by humic acid-immobilized polymer/bentonite composite / T. S. Anirudhan in Chemical engineering journal, Vol. 156 N° 1 (Janvier 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Chemical engineering journal > Vol. 156 N° 1 (Janvier 2010) . - pp. 146-156 Titre : Heavy metals uptake from aqueous solutions and industrial wastewaters by humic acid-immobilized polymer/bentonite composite : kinetics and equilibrium modeling Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : T. S. Anirudhan, Auteur ; P.S. Suchithra, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 146-156 Note générale : Génie Chimique- Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humic  acid  Polymer/clay  composite  Heavy  metal  ion  Adsorption  Wastewater  Regeneration Index. décimale : 660 Résumé : This study explored the feasibility of utilizing a novel adsorbent, humic acid-immobilized-amine-modified polyacrylamide/bentonite composite (HA-Am-PAA-B) for the adsorption of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The FTIR and XRD analyses were done to characterize the adsorbent material. The effects of pH, contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, ionic strength and adsorbent dose on adsorption of metal ions were investigated using batch adsorption experiments. The optimum pH for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) adsorption was observed at 5.0, 9.0 and 8.0, respectively. The mechanism for the removal of metal ions by HA-Am-PAA-B was based on ion exchange and complexation reactions. Metal removal by HA-Am-PAA-B followed a pseudo-second-order kinetics and equilibrium was achieved within 120 min. The suitability of Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption models to the equilibrium data was investigated. The adsorption was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 106.2, 96.1 and 52.9 mg g−1 for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) ions, respectively, at 30 °C. The efficiency of HA-Am-PAA-B in removing metal ions from different industry wastewaters was tested. Adsorbed metal ions were desorbed effectively (97.7 for Cu(II), 98.5 for Zn(II) and 99.2% for Co(II)) by 0.1 M HCl. The reusability of the HA-Am-PAA-B for several cycles was also demonstrated.
