Abstract
This work described a plant extract-based synthesis of titanium oxide nanoparticles (D-TiO2–NPs) using Duranta erecta leave extract, followed by the fabrication of its nanocomposite (D-TiO2–NC) with chitosan for adsorptive removal of toxic metals (TMs) cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from water. D-TiO2–NPs and D-TiO2–NC were characterized by various analytical techniques. This study confirmed the porous and rough crystalline nanostructure with different functional groups of chitosan and D-TiO2–NPs of synthesized D-TiO2–NC for feasible excellent adsorptive removal of Cd and Pb. The maximum removal of Cd and Pb was achieved at pH (6), initial concentration of metal ions (30 mg L−1), the content of D-TiO2–NC (50 mg), contact time (30 min), and temperature (45 °C) with adsorption capacities of 147 and 145.5 mg g−1, respectively. The D-TiO2–NC has successfully followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics for the successful removal of Cd and Pb. However, the resulting data followed multilayer adsorption for the removal of Cd while monolayer adsorption for Pb onto the D-TiO2–NC. The findings of the thermodynamic study revealed that the D-TiO2–NC followed the endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process for the adsorption of Cd and Pb. Furthermore, D-TiO2–NC can easily be used several times after washing with diluted HNO3 for the adsorptive removal of Cd and Pb. Moreover, it is quantitatively adsorbed (> 90%) the Cd and Pb from the collected drinking water samples.
