Abstract:The sorption of Zn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ on ZnO was studied as a function of pH, temperature, and concentration
of the metal cations. The extent of sorption was found to increase with the increase in pH and concentration
and decrease with the increase in temperature. The potentiometric titrations data showed that the sorption
mechanism of the transition metal cations changed from adsorption to precipitation with the increase in
pH. The sorption and precipitation of the metal cations were explained with the help of… Show more
“…1 reveals that NiO has ball shape with a porous structure. The point of zero charge (PZC) of NiO is observed to be 8.45 at 303 ± 1 K, which is similar to the one reported for ZnO [22]. The isoelectric point (IEP) of NiO was also determined at 303 K using the Zeta potentiometer model CAD Nikon Eclipse 50i.…”

“…2-4. These figures show that xanthate ion sorption increase with increases in temperature at all the pH values in the range 8-10, which may be due to an increase in the solubility of xanthate ion with a rise in temperature and activation of certain inactive sites on the surface of the ore [28]. Further, these figures show that the temperature effect is more significant when the initial concentration of xanthate in solution is high.…”

“…Metal oxides/hydrous oxides are naturally occurring discrete minerals or in the form of coatings on other particles and exist in various amorphous and crystalline forms [1][2][3][4][5]. In aqueous suspensions they develop surface electrical charges from the dissociation of the surface hydroxyl groups and complexation of the background electrolyte ions.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
