Adsorption Study of Heavy Metals Removal from Wastewater Using PVA- Nano Ferrite Composites
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of the present investigation is to synthesize Barium ferrite and Nickel ferrite Nanoparticles by co-precipitation method and these nanoparticles are used to prepare nanocomposites with poly vinyl alcohol (PVA). The composited nanoparticles are characterized by using FTIR, XRD and SEM. The synthesized nanoparticles are used as adsorbent to remove the heavy metals such as Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ from simulated industrial waste water. The experimental parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH have been studied on the percentage removal of metal ions. It is observed from the experiment, that 100% and 99.05% of Cu2+ has been removed by PVA-Barium and PVA-Nickel ferrite nanocomposites respectively. The experimental data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. The synthesized nanoparticles have greater potential for adsorption of heavy metal ions present in simulated industrial wastewater. These nanoparticles with polymeric composites can be effectively used as adsorbents in the commercial scale to achieve the desired goal of clean environment.

Bone charcoal, a mixed adsorbent containing around 10% carbon and 90% calcium phosphate, is mainly produced by thermal treatment of bones. Structurally, calcium phosphate in bone charcoal is in the hydroxyapatite form [1-2]. Traditionally, bone charcoal has been used to remove color in sugar solutions in the sugar refining industry. Recent studies use bone charcoal to adsorb radioisotopes of an...

An enhanced electrokinetic process for removal of metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) from an industrial wastewater sludge was performed. The electrokinetic experiments were conducted under a constant potential gradient (1.25 V cm(-1)) with processing fluids of tap water (TW), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and citric acid (CA) for 5 days. Results showed that metal removal efficiency of heavy metals f...
