Abstract
In this research, polymer gels sodium alginate/bentonite clay adsorbent beads (SA/Ben) were prepared via encapsulating natural bentonite (Bn) in sodium alginate (SA). The ratio of Polymer Gels SA/Bn was used during preparation bead to yield beads (1/1 w/w), SA-Bn2 (1/2 w/w), and SA-Bn3 (1/3 w/w), respectively. These adsorbents were characterized via different characterisation FESEM, TEM, XRD and EDX to give high confidence of the prepared surface. The adsorption of Clonazepam drug (CLZ) from aqueous solution on the SA/Bn beads was investigated as a function of different factors, including the initial concentration of CLZ, the weight of SA/Bn beads gel, pH solution, temperature of solution and equilibrium time. Adsorption models of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied and were found to be well described via the isotherm of Freundlich model. The results showed that among the three types of prepared surfaces SA/Bn beads, SA-Bn1 presented the greatest CLZ adsorption capacity. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated including change free of Gibbs energy (ΔG), change entropy (ΔS), and change enthalpy. The change enthalpy of CLZ drug adsorption was found to be positive for the SA/Bn bead and the reaction of adsorption spontaneous and exothermic. After the adsorption proses the SA/Bn beads can easily be regenerated via water and re-used within four cycles.
期刊介绍:
Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
