Effective Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Media by a New Design of Cu-Mg Binary Ferrite.

ABSTRACT: Metal oxides and their composites have been extensively studied as effective adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions in environmental remediation. In this work, Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 was synthesized by a co-precipitation method followed by calcination (900 °C) and investigated for Pb(II) adsorption. The resultant samples were characterized by various analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results revealed that single-phase cubic spinel was obtained by the calcination of as-synthesized samples at a temperature of 900 °C. Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 ferrite is a mesoporous material with a surface area, a total pore volume, and an average pore size of 41.3 m2/g, 0.2 cm3/g, and 15.1 nm, respectively. Pb(II) adsorption on Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 fitted well to the Langmuir model, indicating monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 57.7 mg/g. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model can exactly describe Pb(II) adsorption with the normalized standard deviation (?q) of 1.24%. The obtained results confirmed that the Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 ternary oxides exhibit a high adsorption capacity toward Pb(II), thanks to the increase in active adsorptive sites of ferrite.

Project description:The intake of heavy metals into the body, even at very low concentrations, may cause a decrease in central nervous system functions; deterioration of blood composition; and liver, kidney, and lung damage. Therefore, heavy metal ions must be removed from water. In this study, silver, magnetic iron/copper, and iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Lathyrus brachypterus extract and then Fe/Cu-AT, Fe3O4-AT, Fe/Cu-CS, and Fe3O4-CS magnetic nanocomposite beads were synthesized using alginate and chitosan. The removal of Cd(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions from aqueous phases using synthesized nanoadsorbents was investigated by single and competitive (double and quaternary) adsorption techniques. The kinetic usability of the magnetic iron oxide chitosan (Fe3O4-CS) nanocomposite beads with the highest removal efficiency was evaluated. Based on experimental results, the order of removal was found to be 98.39, 75.52, 51.54, and 45.34%, and it was listed as Pb(II) > Cu(II) > Cd(II) > Ni(II), respectively. The Dubinin-Radushkevich, Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherm models were used, and experimental results revealed that the experimental data fit the Langmuir model better. The maximum adsorption capacities (qm) obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model of Fe3O4-CS were found to be 8.71, 23.75, 18.57, and 12.38 mg/g for Ni(II), Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) ions, respectively. When the kinetic data were applied to the Lagergren, Ho-McKay, and Elovich models, it was observed that the adsorption kinetics mostly conformed to the Ho-McKay second-order rate equation. The binary and quaternary competitive adsorption data showed that Fe3O4-CS were selective toward Cu(II) and Pb(II). The reusability of the Fe3O4-CS nanoadsorbent was performed as three cycles with the same concentration. The adsorption capacities were found to be 95.81, 70.65, 50.50, and 42.75%, in turn for Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions after three cycles, which revealed that the Fe3O4-CS nanoadsorbent can be used after three cycles without losing its efficiency.
