Abstract:This study investigates the adsorption efficiency of goethite nanostructured powder for the simultaneous removal of cobalt and nickel ions. The nanostructured powder sample was synthesized via a chemical precipitation technique and characterized using SEM, FTIR-ATR and XRD techniques. From batch adsorption studies, maximum absorption for Co(II) and Ni(II) ions occurred at an equilibrium contact time of 80 min, with an adsorbent mass of 0.1 g, and at pH=7. Co(II) ions showed greater affinity to the nanoparticles as compared to Ni(II). The maximum quantities adsorbed were recorded as 148.5 mg/g for Co(II) and 110.6 mg/g for Ni(II) ions. The best isotherm model fit for both metal ions was the Freundlich model indicating heterogeneity of the surface binding sites. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was the best-fit model: an indication of a strong chemical adsorption between the adsorbent surface and metal ions. The findings show that the goethite nanostructured powder is a very effective adsorbent material and prominent candidate for the simultaneous removal of cobalt and nickel ions from water.

Electroplating Process

Wastewater discharged into municipal sewer systems from electroplating process plants contains a heavy load of metal ions and often requires pre-discharge treatment. Treatment of wastewater to reduce the concentration of metal ions employing an adsorption process has been studied using a wide range of adsorbents. In this work, the concentrations of chromium and nickel ions in wastewater samples from a local electroplating shop were found to be above the limits set out by the Bulawayo City Council, and the Environmental Management Agency, a statutory agency under the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Government of Zimbabwe. Furthermore, the removal of chromium and nickel ions from the wastewater using magnetite as an adsorbent is studied. Magnetite particulate adsorbent used in this experiment has demonstrated to be an effective adsorbent material. At the optimum process operating pH of 4 – 7 the absorbent was able to achieve removal rates of up to 99% for chromium and 98% for nickel. The adsorption processes for chromium and nickel have been proven to be physical in nature using the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model. Also, the adsorption kinetics data fit well with pseudo second-order kinetic model.

The ammonia modified cotton stalks (CS) were utilized to adsorb the Ni2+and Cu2+ions from wastewaters, and the effect parameters (i.e. pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature) were also investigated by batch adsorption experiments. The maximum uptake was attained, i.e., 99.4% and 98.8%, respectively, for nickel and copper ions, under the optimum conditions (adsorbent dose: 10 g/L; pH: 6.0 (Ni2+), 5.0 (Cu2+); t: 75min; T: 20 °C) when the initial concentration of heavy metal ions was 20 mg/L. The adsorption process of nickel and copper ions on ammonia modified CS was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract. In this study, the adsorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by powdered Delonix regia pods and leaves was investigated using batch adsorption techniques. The effects of operating conditions such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, metal ion concentration and the presence of sodium ions interfering with the sorption process were investigated. The results obtained showed that equilibrium sorption was attained within 30 min of interaction, and an increase in the initial concentration of the adsorbate, pH and adsorbent dosage led to an increase in the amount of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions adsorbed. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for all metal ions' sorption. The equilibrium data fitted well with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms; the monolayer adsorption capacity (Q0 mg g−1) of the Delonix regia pods and leaves was 5.88 and 5.77 mg g−1 for Ni(II) ions respectively and 9.12 and 9.01 mg g−1 for Cu(II) ions respectively. The efficiency of the powdered pods and leaves of Delonix regia with respect to the removal of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions was greater than 80 %, except for the sorption of Ni(II) ions onto the leaves. The desorption study revealed that the percentage of metal ions recovered from the pods was higher than that recovered from the leaves at various nitric acid concentrations. This study proves that Delonix regia biomass, an agricultural waste product (“agro-waste”), could be used to remove Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution.

Adsorption Data

We investigated the adsorption of lead (Pb2+) and nickel (Ni2+) ions by electrospun membranes of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber activated with NaHCO3 (PANmod). Analysis by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) validated the functionalization of PAN nanofibers with NaHCO3, and the successful agglomeration of Pb2+ and Ni2+ onto PANmod. After a rapid uptake of the heavy metal ions (15 min), the equilibrium contact time was attained (60 min) following a linear increase of both adsorption capacity and removal efficiency. PANmod showed a better affinity for Ni2+ than Pb2+. The adsorption on PANmod was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both studied models, supporting chemisorption. By varying the solution pH from 2.0 to 9.0, we found that the adsorption capacity followed an increasing trend, reaching a maximum at the pH of 7.0. Despite increasing adsorption capacities, the removal efficiency of both heavy metal ions exhibited a decreasing trend with increase in initial concentrations. The amount of PANmod directly affects the removal efficiency, with 0.7 and 0.2 g being the optimum dose for maximum uptake of Pb2+ and Ni2+, respectively. The Langmuir model fitted well the Pb2+ adsorption data suggesting monolayer adsorption, and the Freundlich model perfectly fitted the Ni2+ adsorption data, indicating heterogeneous adsorption. The estimated values of the mean free energy of adsorption in the D–R isotherm indicated a physical adsorption of both heavy metal ions into the surface of the PANmod.

Certain industries often produce mixtures of heavy metal ions in their waste products. Because of the nature of heavy metal ions and the adsorption process, such metal ions can compete with each other for the sorption sites on an adsorbent during adsorption processes. In the present work, binary systems composed of copper, zinc and nickel ions were selected as examples of heavy metal ion mixtures and tested via batch adsorption processes using chicken feathers as an adsorbent. The uptake of individual metal ions was depressed by the presence of another. Thus, the uptake of copper ions from an initial copper ion solution of 20 ppm concentration was reduced from 0.042 mmol/g to ca. 0.019 mmol/g by the presence of a similar concentration of nickel ions. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips multi-component adsorption models were employed to predict the uptake of metal ions from binary metal ion solutions using constants obtained from adsorption isotherm models applied to single-solute systems.

Sorption of toxic metal ions (Ni2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+) from Hevea brasiliensis bark carbon (HBBC) was carried out at 30±1 °C under various experimental conditions. Effect of various process parameters has been investigated by following the batch adsorption technique at 30 +1°C. The percentage removal increased with decrease in initial concentration and particle size and increase in contact time and dose of adsorbent. As initial pH of the slurry increased, the percentage removal increased, reached a maximum. The adsorption is highly pH sensitive. Adsorption data were modelled with various isotherms and first order kinetic equations proposed by Natarajan-Khalaf, Lagergren and Bhattacharya-Venkobachar and intraparticle diffusion models found to be applicable. Kinetics of adsorption is observed to be first order with Intra- particle diffusion as one of the rate determining steps. The monolayer adsorption capacities of HBBC also studied by Langmuir isotherms. HBBC could be used as low-cost adsorbents in effluent treatment, especially for the removal of metal ions, particular in Ni2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions. It is confirmed by FT-IR studies before and after adsorption.

A series of three chitosan-based magnetic composites was prepared through a simple coprecipitation method. It was investigated the influence of mass ratio between chitosan and magnetite on the physical and chemical properties of the composites in order to establish the optimum conditions for obtaining a composite with good adsorption capacity for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions. It was found that the microspheres prepared using mass ratio chitosan / magnetite 1.25/1, having a saturation magnetization of 15 emu g--1, are the best to be used as adsorbent for the metal ions. The influence of different parameters such as initial pH values, contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, on the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) onto the chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent was investigated in details. The adsorption process fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model in both mono and bicomponent systems, and the maximum adsorption capacities calculated on the basis of the Langmuir model were 79.4 mg g--1 for Pb(II) and 48.5 mg g--1 for Cu(II) in monocomponent systems, while in bicomponent systems were 88.3 and 49.5 mg g--1, respectively. The results revealed that the as prepared chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent can be an effective and promising adsorbent for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions.

Removal Of Metal Ions

In the present work, sugar beet pulp, a common waste from the sugar refining industry, was studied in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. The ability of this cheap biopolymer to sorb several metals namely Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions was investigated. The metal fixation capacities of the sorbent were determined according to operating conditions and the fixation mechanisms were identified. The biopolymer has shown high elimination rates and interesting metal fixation capacities. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated and discussed. For 8 × 10-4 M initial metal concentration, the initial sorption rates (v0) ranged from 0.063 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Pb2+ to 0.275 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Ni2+ ions, with the order: Ni2+ &gt; Cd2+ &gt; Zn2+ &gt; Cu2+ &gt; Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ &gt; Cu2+ &gt; Zn2+ &gt; Cd2+ &gt; Ni2+. Then, the kinetic and equilibrium parameters calculated qm and v0 were tentatively correlated to the properties of the metals. Finally, equilibrium experiments in multimetallic systems were performed to study the competition of the fixation of Pb2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ cations. In all cases, the metal fixation onto the biopolymer was found to be favourable in multicomponent systems. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that this biosorbent represents a low-cost solution for the treatment of metal-polluted wastewaters.

Background: The metal ions play a vital role in a large number of widely differing biological processes. Some of these processes are quite specific in their metal ion requirements. In that only certain metal ions, in specific oxidation states, can full fill the necessary catalytic or structural requirement, while other processes are much less specific. Objective: In this paper we report the binding of Mn (II), Ni (II) and Co (II) with albumin are reported employing spectrophotometric and pH metric method. In order to distinguish between ionic and colloidal linking, the binding of metal by using pH metric and viscometric methods and the result are discussed in terms of electrovalent and coordinate bonding. Methods: The binding of Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions have been studied with egg protein at different pH values and temperatures by the spectrometric technique. Results: The binding data were found to be pH and temperature dependent. The intrinsic association constants (k) and the number of binding sites (n) were calculated from Scatchard plots and found to be at the maximum at lower pH and at lower temperatures. Therefore, a lower temperature and lower pH offered more sites in the protein molecule for interaction with these metal ions. Statistical effects seem to be more significant at lower Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions concentrations, while at higher concentrations electrostatic effects and heterogeneity of sites are more significant. Conclusion: The pH metric as well as viscometric data provided sufficient evidence about the linking of cobalt, nickel and manganese ions with the nitrogen groups of albumin. From the nature and height of curves in the three cases it may be concluded that nickel ions bound strongly while the cobalt ions bound weakly.
