چکیده
background nowadays, removal of heavy metals from the environment is an important problem due to their toxicity. objectives in this study, a modified method was used to synthesize chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (ccmn) to be used as a low cost and nontoxic adsorbent. ccmn was then employed to remove hg2+ from water solutions. materials and methods to remove the highest percentage of mercury ions, the box-behnken model of response surface methodology (rsm) was applied to simultaneously optimize all parameters affecting the adsorption process. studied parameters of the process were ph (5-8), initial metal concentration (2-8 mg/l), and the amount of damped adsorbent (0.25-0.75 g). a second-order mathematical model was developed using regression analysis of experimental data obtained from 15 batch runs. results the optimal conditions predicted by the model were ph = 5, initial concentration of mercury ions = 6.2 mg/l, and the amount of damped adsorbent = 0.67 g. confirmatory testing was performed and the maximum percentage of hg2+ removed was found to be 99.91%. kinetic studies of the adsorption process specified the efficiency of the pseudo second-order kinetic model. the adsorption isotherm was well-fitted to both the langmuir and freundlich models. conclusions ccmn as an excellent adsorbent could remove the mercury ions from water solutions at low and moderate concentrations, which is the usual amount found in environment.

متن کاملRemoval of Congo red from aqueous solutions using nano-Chitosan
It is now recognized that adsorption using low-cost adsorbents is an effective and economic method for water decontamination. Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of the naturally occurring biopolymer chitin which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in the world after cellulose. In this study, the capacity of the chitosan nanoparticles was studied for the removal of the anionic Congo red...
متن کاملRemoval of Selenium from Aqueous Solutions Using Magnetite Nanoparticles as Adsorbent
Selenium (Se) is a problematic contaminant for many regions worldwide. Adsorption is by far the most researched and most promising method in treating Se laden waters. The major limitations in using those adsorbents are the preferential adsorption for either selenite (SeO3) or selenate (SeO4) and interferences by anions such as phosphates. The objective of this study was to remove Se from aqueou...
