Rapid Adsorption of Copper(II) and Lead(II) by Rice Straw/Fe3O4 Nanocomposite: Optimization, Equilibrium Isotherms, and Adsorption Kinetics Study

Abstract: Rice straw/magnetic nanocomposites (RS/Fe3O4-NCs) were prepared via co-precipitation method for removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to find the optimum conditions for removal of ions. The effects of three independent variables including initial ion concentration, removal time, and adsorbent dosage were investigated on the maximum adsorption of Pb (II) and Cu (II). The optimum conditions for the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) were obtained (100 a… Show more

“…It was considered that the increase of the ions concentration could restrict the number of adsorption sites in the CT and CTH hydrogel composites. So, at lower initial concentrations of the metal ions, sufficient adsorption sites were remained for the sorption of heavy metal ions, while increasing metal ion concentration provided decreased percentage. It indicated a decrease in the percentage for the removal of each ion.…”

“…The bigger the ionic radius, the stronger the adsorption of the ion was since the hydration capacity of that ion is smaller, resulting in weaker binding of the ion and water phase. Also, the preference adsorption exhibited for Pb(II) over Cd(II) and Cu(II) ion may due to the difference hydrated energy as was found in the order of −1481, −1807, and −2100 kJ/mol for Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II), respectively …”

“…Through recent years, heavy metal ion, such as copper, present in the environment, particularly in water resources, was becoming as one of the major concerns because of their toxicity, tendency to accumulate in living organisms, wide spread presence and nonbiodegradability [2], [3]. Heavy metals as distinguished as carcinogens that are effective towards humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can easily enter the food chain in so many ways that can cause harmful effects over their life span with gradual accumulation in living organisms [4]. In particular, lead pollution can cause anemia, chronic headaches, diarrhea, cancer, mental retardation, kidney diseases and can damage the nervous system and reproductive.…”

“…Also, the excess amount of copper intake will result to growth in the liver and will create gastro-intestinal [5]. Therefore, before disposing the heavy metals in aquatic environments, it is necessary to remove it first [4].…”

“…Secondly, appropriate equations, methods and theories are used to generate adsorption isotherms that are then matched with the experimental data, to provide a mathematical representation of the adsorption results. Once acceptable isotherms derived from a theory or an empirical correlation [3,[11][12][13] for both pure and binary gas systems are obtained, and parametrised the adsorbed gas mole profiles with corresponding pressure are used in a simulator to predict a long term gas concentration profile.…”
