Removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution using platinum nanopartcles/Zeolite-4A

Abstract: The effects of varying operating conditions on metals removal from aqueous solution using a novel platinum nanopartcles/Zeolite-4A adsorbent are reported in this paper. Characterization of the adsorbent showed successful production of platinum nanopartcles on Zeolite-4A using 3 Wt% platinum. The effects of operation conditions on metals removal using this adsorbent were investigated. The optimal metals adsorption was observed at pH 7, 0.1 g/10 mL dosage and 30 min contact time. Sorption data have been interpre… Show more

“…At pH 6.8, the functional groups have negative charges, which leads to the electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions, (metal ions), and negatively charged functional groups. 20 Also at higher pHs (pH > 6.8), the percentage of the removal of metal ions was decreased again, because lead and cobalt ions get out of the solution due to formation of hydroxide.…”

“…The fast adsorption at the initial stage was probably due to the interaction between Cd(II) ions (adsorbate) in the solution and active sites those available on the Zeolite-A (adsorbent) surface take place. The equilibrium of adsorption occur when all active sites on the surface of Zeolite-A were blocked by Cd(II) ions from solution [27].…”

“…For Langmuir adsorption isotherm models, the monolayer coverage of the adsorption surfaces and assumes that adsorption occurs on a structurally homogeneous adsorbent and the activity for all the adsorption sites was identical. The Freundlich expression is an empirical equation based on a heterogeneous surface [27]. The general form of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm was assigned as: C e /q e = (1/ k L q m ) + (Ce/ q m ) (Langmuir) (2) lnq e = lnk f + 1/n lnC e (Freundlich) (3) Where q e (mg/g) is the adsorbed amount of metal ions per 1 gm of adsorbent, C e (mg/L) is the equilibrium concentration of metal ions in the solution, q m is the monolayerad sorption capacity (mg/g), K L is the Langmuir constant related to the adsorption intensity, K f is the constants of Freundlich isotherm.…”

“…Among these contaminants, heavy metals are more dangerous for the environment [1][2][3]. The presence of heavy metals such as zinc, lead, cadmium, copper, and chromium is of major concern due to their toxicity and non-biodegradability in living organisms [4][5][6]. For example, the presence of lead may damage the hematopoietic system which results in liver, kidney and central brain failure leading to hepati-tis, encephalopathy, anemia [7].…”
