Abstract:
In this study we have investigated removal of Zn and Ag Ions from aqueous solutions. Industrial pollutions by heavy metals ions as Ag and Zn is a universal environmental problem, because of their toxicity. Thus, we have studied removal of these ions by NH2 -MCM-41 nano porous adsorbent at room temperature. This adsorbent has a high surface area, high adsorption ability, high factor of porosity and wide porous. In the batch experiment we have taken 150 cm-3 of considered metallic ion aqueous solution. After pH adjustment, nano porous absorbent was added and it was agitated by a rotary shaker. Then, pH, amount of adsorbent, initial concentration of metallic ion, time of contact and temperature parameters have determined. Thus, recovery of Ag and Zn metallic ions at pH = 7, adsorbent dose of 2 g/dm3 and room temperature obtained 96.93 and 99.24%, respectively. Thermodynamic results indicate that adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. Obtained adsorption isotherm was fitted by Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm which is single-layer adsorption. Moreover, this removal process has a second order kinetic. Synthesized adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD.
