Equilibrium Studies in Adsorption of Hg(II) from Aqueous Solutions using Biocompatible Polymeric Polypyrrole-Chitosan Nanocomposite

Abstract: This article deals with the adsorption of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution on biocompatible polymeric polypyrrole-chitosan (PPy/CTN) nanocomposite. The Hg(II) uptake of PPy/CTN was quantitatively evaluated using sorption isotherms. In order to describe the isotherm mathematically, the experimental data of the removal equilibrium were correlated by either the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin equations. Results indicated that the Langmuir model gave a better fit to the experimental data than the other two equati… Show more

“…45 The values of ΔG°are all less than −40 kJ/mol, indicating that the adsorption of mercury ions by PPy-PANI/M-SBA-15 belongs to the chemical adsorption category. 46 However, the positive value of ΔH°reflects an endothermic property, which is consistent with the results obtained by the Langmuir model and the D−R model. 47 The positive value of ΔS°for mercury ions reveals that the increase of the randomness in the interface of the solid/solution and a high temperature is favorable for the adsorption of Hg(II).…”

“…Among these methods; adsorption has increasingly received more attention due to simplicity, cost-effectiveness and high feasibility of industrial application without yielding harmful by-products. The most common adsorbent materials are rice husk ash [9], bio-char [10,11], cellulose [3,12], algal biomass [13], lignin [14,15], carbon nanotube [16], activated carbon [17,18], chitosan [19] polypyrrole [20] titanium oxide [21] and alginate [22]. However, these adsorbents described above suffer from low adsorption capacities and separation inconvenience.…”

“…The common wastewater plant treatment is not efficient in removing toxic compounds such as dyes from water [ 4 ]. For the removal and determination of these toxic dyes from industrial effluent, different physical and chemical techniques are used such as chemical oxidation, chemical precipitation, adsorption, photocatalysis, microbial or enzymatic treatment, natural sorbent materials [ 5 ], mineral composite, chemical oxidation, coagulation–flocculation, irradiation, adsorption, precipitation, membrane technologies, a combination of an aerobic and anaerobic and ion exchange processes [ 6 ]. Therefore, all of these techniques have some drawbacks and problems such as high cost, large solvent consumption, large analysis time and tough sample preparation, etc.…”
