Development of Mg–Al–La tri-metal mixed oxide entrapped in alginate for removal of fluoride from wastewater

Abstract: New biopolymer beads, composite of Mg–AL–La tri-metal oxides and alginate, were synthesized, characterized and tested for their fluoride removal efficiency from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 30.9 mg g−1.

“…Adsorption isotherms are represented as the number of adsorbate molecules per unit mass of adsorbent as a function of equilibrium concentration in bulk solution at a constant temperature. In this study, adsorption of fluoride onto FACN was carried out, and four isotherm models were tested, which are tabulated in Table S1, namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and D–R isotherm. …”

“…Δ = − G nRT (30) where n is Freundlich constant. Using the above equation, the plot of ln K d vs −1/T, ln C e vs 1/T, and ln K L vs −1/T is shown in Figure 8(A,B) and Figure 9A.…”

“…First, the distribution constant (L/g) was used; Equation (7), defined it as the ratio between the adsorption capacity of the biomass and the concentration of adsorbate in the solution at equilibrium. The value of to be used is obtained by plotting vs. q e and extrapolating to zero [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Second, the same distribution coefficient was used, transformed into dimensionless by multiplying it by the biomass concentration [ 18 ], as in Equation (8): which extrapolates to zero vs. q e .…”

“…15/147,437 (2014)]. While entrapment of adsorbents using alginate beads has been extensively investigated for the uptake of various metals (Wang et al 2017), few studies have focused on the uptake of phosphate from solution. Sujitha and Ravindhranath (2017) reported an exceptionally high phosphate adsorption capacity of 133.3 mg=g by calcium alginate beads doped with active carbon derived from the Achyranthes aspera plant.…”
