The aim of this work was to study the adsorption of indium from aqueous solutions on modified highly dispersed aluminosilicates for the recovery of indium from technological solutions. The adsorption isotherms of indium, iron and zinc from multi component solutions on modified by di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid montmorillonite were obtained. It was shown that adsorption processes can be reliably described by models of Langmuir and Freundlich (R2  =  0.96–0.99). The shape of the isotherms is determined both by the surface properties of the sorbent and forms of presence of metal ions in aqueous solutions. The highest value of Langmuir constant Kads = 422.65 for reagent "Metоsol" was obtained for ions of indium, which indicates the preferential affinity of the sorbing mineral to this element, since the corresponding figures for the ions Fe2+ (1.09) and Zn2+ (0.78) are close to unity. At sorption of metal ions from model solution in the range of acidity of 1-20 g/dm3 of H2SO4 the extraction of indium remains unchanged at ~70 %, and iron – is reduced from 39 to 15% of the initial content. With the further increase of acidity to 100 g/dm3 of H2SO4, the recovery of indium is reduced to 40 %; iron down to 14 %. In the examined range of concentration of sulfuric acid the extraction of zinc is from 6.0 to 7.5 percent. The value of the static exchange capacity for the studied metals are mmol/g: 0.39–0.23 of indium; 0.11–0.04 of iron(III); 0.05–0.04 of zinc. A rank of affinity of reagent "Metоsol" to extract the metal ions from solution with pre-reduced iron(III)  was In3+ > Fe2+ > Zn2+ which determines the feasibility of its use for the selective adsorption of indium from the complex composition of technological solutions of zinc production.

The processes of lead and cadmium ions sorption by modified zeolite of Chankanai deposit were studied. Chitosan was used as a surface modifier due to its properties: nontoxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. The adsorption process was carried out at room temperature (295 K) and pH 7 under static conditions. The synthesized sorbent has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis; the concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions before and after adsorption were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The Si/Al ratio of the zeolite was found to be 1.66, which showed the prospects of using this material as a source object. The static exchange capacity (SEC) of sorbents and the extraction degree of heavy metal ions were determined and compared. It was found that the removal of heavy metal ions increased with the increase of contact time (removal efficiency was 99.1±1.2% for Pb2+ and 83.4±1.2% for Cd2+). The adsorption capacity values of the modified zeolite for metal ions were (0.86±0.03) mg/g for Cd(II) and (0.68±0.03) mg/g for Pb(II). Chitosan-modified zeolite proved to be an effective adsorbent for removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solutions.

The adsorption of europium on activated charcoal has been studied as a function of shaking time, pH, concentration of adsorbate and temperature. The adsorption of europium obeys the Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. Thermodynamic quantities such as ΔH0 and ΔS0 have been calculated from the slopes and intercepts of plots of In KD versus 1/T. The influence of different cations and anions on europium adsorption has been examined. The adsorption of other metal ions on activated charcoal has been investigated under specified conditions to check their selectivity for europium. As a result, europium has been successfully removed from a mixture containing Ba, Sr, Ru, Cs, Cr, Nd, Pr and In. Approximately 96% of the europium adsorbed on the activated charcoal was recovered using 45 ml of 3 M HNO3. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used for measuring the europium concentration.

The adsorption of strontium on activated charcoal has been studied as a function of shaking time, pH, concentration of adsorbate and temperature. Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was used for measuring strontium concentration. The adsorption of strontium obeys Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Quantities ∆H0 and ∆S0 were calculated from the slope and intercept of plot ln KD vs 1/T. The influence of different cations and anions on strontium adsorption has been examined. The adsorption of other metal ions on activated charcoal has been studied under specific conditions to check its selectivity. Consequently, strontium was removed from Rh, Pr, Rb and Cs. More than 95% adsorbed strontium on activated charcoal can be recovered with 65 ml 3M HNO3 solution.

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.

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+ > Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+ > 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.

The catalytic activity of sulphonated macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, the exchange capacity of which was neutralized from 30, 50 and 80% by Fe(III) ions and from 30% by Na ions and that of Wofatit Y-37 ion exchanger neutralized from 10% of its total exchange capacity by several transition metal ions and by sodium has been studied in isomerisation of cyclohexene and dehydration of 1-propanol in the gas phase at 130 °C. It was demonstrated that in both reactions transition metal ions exhibit additional effect to the expected neutralization of the polymer acid groups. In the case of cyclohexene isomerization, this effect depends on the degree of crosslinking of polymer mass of the catalyst. Such dependence has not been, however, observed in dehydration of 1-propanol. The type of transition metal ions did not exhibit any significant effect on the catalytic activity of the polymer catalysts studied.

The properties of cellulose chelating ion exchangers Ostsorb have been studied in the sorption of cadmium and lead from aqueous solutions. The Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions are trapped by the Ostsorb OXIN and Ostsorb DETA ion exchangers most effectively in neutral and alkaline media but at these conditions formation of stable hydrolytic products of both metals competes with the exchange equilibria. From this point of view, Ostsorb DTTA appears to be a more suitable sorbent since it traps the Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions in acidic media already. Chloride ions interfere with the sorption of the two metals by Ostsorb DTTA whereas the ionic strength adjusted by the addition of sodium perchlorate does not affect the exchange capacity of this ion exchanger.
