The photocatalytic reduction of Cu (II), Pb (II), Cd (II) and Cr (VI) ions in aqueous solution has been investigated. The photocatalyst utilized was nano titanium dioxide, composed of 80% anatase and 20% rutile; the UV light source was a 15 W UV bulb with a wavelength of 254 nm. The results obtained indicated a reduction efficiency order as follows; Cr6+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+ > Cd2+. It was observed that these results correlate with the respective reduction potentials of the metal ions. The effect of pH on the photocatalytic reduction of the metal ions was also carried out and results obtained indicated that with the exception of Cr (VI) ions, higher percentage removal of metal ions from their aqueous solution was recorded at alkaline pH than at acidic pH. This was attributed to an extensive formation of precipitate by the metal ions at alkaline pH. Kinetic studies revealed that the removal of metal ions from their solutions largely followed the pseudo- first-order kinetics. Therefore, the results of this study will be useful in metal ion removal from industrial waste water using photocatalytic process.

The removal of Fe3+, Cu2+,Cd2+,Cr3+and Zn2+ions from aqueous solution was studied by sorption onto polystyrene microcapsules containing 8-hydroxy-quinoline as extraction reagent. The micro-capsules containing 8-hydroxy-quinoline were prepared by solvent evaporation method with O/W emulsion and characterized by using optical microscope, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The uptake to Fe3+, Cu2+,Cd2+,Cr3+and Zn2+ions into the microcapsules was studied at deferent conditions. It showed that with the increasing dosage of microcapsules, the removal of metal ions increased too. The longer is standing time, the more is the increasing of adsorption capacity. The sorption of metal ions decreases with the initial pH of the solution increasing, and the sorption of microcapsule for metal ions is lower at 50°C. The sorption of Cr3+, Cu2+and Zn2+ions is highest at 45°C, and that of Fe3+, Cd2+is at 40°C. The results showed that the microcapsules could absorb Cr3+ions better than other metal ions.
