Facile Fabrication of ZnMgAl/LDH/Algae Composites as a Potential Adsorbent for Cr(VI) Ions from Water: Fabrication and Equilibrium Studies.

ABSTRACT: In order to improve the adsorption capacity of natural layered double hydroxyl (LDH) materials, the natural organic sources such as algae containing hydroxyl groups, amino groups, peptide connections, and alginate structures were used to improve LDH for the preparation of ZnMgAl LDH-algae composites (LDH-Ax). The structure of prepared composites was established and characterized via various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The LDH-A2 sample displayed the highest efficiency for Cr(VI) removal, which reached to 99% at the optimum conditions. The prepared composite LDH-A2 showed high stability and reusability (91.7%) after five cycles. The kinetic studies revealed that the Cr uptake by LDH-A1 is described as pseudo-first order, while the case of LDH-A2 is described as pseudo-second order. This study reported that the easily synthesized LDH-Ax has an interesting environmental approval process to eliminate Cr ions from aqueous media quickly and effectively.

Project description:Heavy metal ions in water refer to significant risks to the biological system due to their high toxicity. Therefore, the decontamination of water polluted by heavy metal ions attracts significant interest of researchers. Adsorption by nanomaterials has been a widely used technique for removing heavy metal ions from water. Chitosan was extracted from shrimp shellfish and mixed with laboratory-prepared AgNPs/GO in the ratio of 3 : 1. A series of tests evaluates the best condition of pH, amount of adsorbent, retention time, stirring speed, temp, and initial concentration. The research was conducted under various conditions. Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were also tested. Also, the column adsorption experiment was carried out on industrial wastewater at different flow rates and column bed heights. The optimal values of the contact time, pH, and adsorbent dose of Cr(vi) were found to be 80 min, 4, and 0.1 g 100 mL-1, respectively, at room temperature (30 °C), agitation at 150 rpm, and initial concentration of 50 ppm. On the other hand, the optimal value of contact time, pH, and adsorbent dose of Fe(iii) were found to be 30 min, 6, and 0.02 g 100 mL-1, respectively, at room temp (30 °C) with a stirring speed of 250 rpm and an initial concentration of 40 ppm. For Cr(vi) and Fe(iii), equilibrium studies show that the data fit the Freundlich isotherm well (correlation coefficient, R 2 = 0.98) (III). A link between the pseudo-second order active model and data fitting the pseudo-first order active models were made. Within the intraparticle diffusion model, there are four stages that the mechanism must go through before it is at equilibrium. The adsorbent was tested in an industrial adsorbent column. This test proves that the nanocomposite's adsorption capacity can be restored by washing it with 0.1 M HCl, as shown by the periodicity test. After four cycles, the amount of Cr(vi) adsorbed on AgNPs/GO/chitosan was just 20%, which is insufficient for further adsorption experiments. Cr(vi) removal rates (%R) decreased slightly.
