abstract

in this study, the removal of cadmium and lead ions from aqueous solution by nanocrystalline magnetite was investigated. the nanocrystalline magnetite was synthesized by mechanochemical activation of hematite in a high energy planetary mill in argon atmosphere for 45 hours. the ability of the synthesized nanocrystalline magnetite for removal of cd(ii) and pb(ii) from aqueous solutions was studied in a batch reactor under different experimental conditions with different phs, contact times, initial metal ion concentrations and temperatures. the solution’s ph was found to be a key factor in the adsorption of heavy metal ions on fe3o4. the optimum ph of the solution for adsorption of cd(ii) and pb(ii) from aqueous solutions was found to be 6.5 and 5.5, respectively. the best models to describe the kinetics and isotherms of single adsorption were both the pseudo first and second-order kinetic models and langmuir models, respectively, indicating the monolayer chemisorption of cd(ii) and pb(ii) on fe3o4 nanoparticles. moreover, the thermodynamic parameters (i.e., ∆h°, ∆s°, ∆g°) were evaluated which indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic. the results suggested that the synthesized material (magnetite nanocrystalline particles) may be used as effective and economic absorbent for removal of cd(ii) and pb(ii) from aqueous solutions.

Removal of Lead Ions from Aqueous Solution by Sorptive-Flotation Using Limestone and Oleic Acid

A simple, rapid and economic procedure was presented to remove lead(II) from aqueous solution under the optimized conditions. It is based on the sorption of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions onto limestone fines (LS), which is an inexpensive and widespread over the globe, followed by flotation with oleic acid (HOL) surfactant. The different parameters (namely: solution pH, sorbent...

Removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) Ions from ‎Aqueous Solutions by Cadmium Sulfide ‎Nanoparticles

   In this study, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) were prepared, characterized and used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Using a batch adsorption method, the effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were studied and optimized. Removal efficiencies, higher than 98% were obtained for both the met...

Removal of copper ions from aqueous solution by tree fern.

Tree fern, an agricultural by-product, was used for the sorptive removal of copper ions from aqueous solution. The experimental data was analysed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson isotherms. The equilibrium sorption capacity of copper ions was determined from the Langmuir equation and found to be 11.7 mg/g. A batch sorption model, based on the assumption of the pseudo-second-order me...

Adsorption of Lead ions from aqueous solution by the dead biomass of nanoalgae Scenedesmus sp.

In attempts to remove toxic metal lead, distinct types of algae biomass have been scrutinized as alternatives to conventional physicochemical technologies. In this research, the absorption of  Lead by nanoalgae Scenedesmus sp. was studied at concentration of10 to 100 mg/L, pH 3 to 8, temperature 15 to 40 °C and exposure time of 10 to 60 minutes)in a batch culture system. The concentration of Le...
