In this Study, hydrogel P(CH/AA-co-AM) was prepared, identification and utilized as an efficient absorbent to eliminate Cr (III) and Cd (II) ions from the aqueous solution. The adsorption of these ions follows Freundlich isotherms. Due to greater activity surface of the hydrogel in adsorption of the contaminants, they can be utilized for elimination of the mentioned ions from water. Therefore, we characterized structural, surface and thermal properties of the prepared materials with technique: TGA, FE-SEM and FT-IR. Moreover, we implemented the kinetics of sorption with regard to the amounts of the metal sorbet at distinct time intervals and thus examined the modeling of the isotherm and kinetic curves. Finally, we computed the reaction order as well as rate constant.

The removal of heavy metals from wastewaters is a matter of paramount importance due to the fact that their high toxicity causes major environmental pollution problems. One of the most efficient, applicable and low cost methods for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions is that of their adsorption on an inorganic adsorbent. In order to achieve high efficiency, it is important to understand the influence of the solution parameters on the extent of the adsorption, as well as the kinetics of the adsorption. In the present work, the adsorption of Cu(II) species onto TiO2 surface was studied. It was found that the adsorption is a rapid process and it is not affected by the value of ionic strength. In addition, it was found that by increasing the pH, the adsorbed amount of Cu2+ ions and the value of the adsorption constant increase, whereas the value of the lateral interaction energy decreases.

Chitosan Composite

Hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HApC) composite has been prepared by precipitation method and used for removal of heavy metals (Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+) from aqueous solution. The HAp and 3H7C composite with HAp:chitosan ratio of 3:7 (wt%) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The SEM results showed that HAp is spherical-shaped and crystalline, while chitosan has a flat structure. SEM micrograph of 3H7C composite reveals crystalline of HAp uniformly spread over the surface of chitosan. The crystal structure of HAp is maintained in 3H7C composite. Chitosan affects the adsorption capacity of HAp for heavy metal ions; it binds the metal ions as well as HAp. The kinetic data was best described by the pseudo-second order. Surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion take place in the mechanism of adsorption process. The binding of HAp powder with chitosan made the capability of composite to removal of Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+from aqueous solution effective. The order of removal efficiency (Cr6+> Cd2+> Zn2+) was observed.

Adsorption kinetics of Ni, Cr, and Pb on gravels collected from constructed wetland was studied at varied metal concentrations and contact period for estimating the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. Batch experiments were conducted by shaking 120 ml of metal solutions having 5 concentration levels each of Ni (1.0, 2.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 6.0 mg l-1), Cr (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 mg l-1), and Pb (1.0, 3.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 12.0 mg l-1) with 50 g of gravels for as function of time. Adsorption of Ni, Cr, and Pb on gravels ranged from 34.8 to 47.2, 42.7-54.9, and 47.5-56.9%, indicating their removal in the order: Pb > Cr > Ni. Freundlich model showed a good fit for Ni and Cr (R2>0.9) while Langmuir model fitted better for Pb (R2= 0.7). The pseudo-second-order model showed the best fit to simulate the adsorption rates of these metals on gravel.
