Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in wastewater is a severe threat to both human health and the environment. In response to this challenge, a novel nano-magnetic heteropoly acid-based organic–inorganic hybrid adsorbent, CF@[Cu2(nic)(bpy)2]2[PTA], was developed for the efficient removal of multiple heavy metal ions. This synergistic adsorbent consists of copper-containing Keggin-type polyoxometalate-based hybrid immobilized on the surface of cobalt ferrite. It features highly electronegative surfaces enriched with oxo-functional groups and magnetic properties, as well as a large surface area. Characterization of the synergistic material was performed using various techniques, including FT-IR, FESEM-EDX, TEM, XRD, VSM, and TGA. The experimental results revealed that the optimal conditions for maximum metal ion removal were achieved at pH 6.5, with a 40 mg dosage of adsorbent, an initial ions concentration of 5.0 mg L−1, and an equilibrium time of 30 min. The CF@[Cu2(nic)(bpy)2]2[PTA] nanoadsorbent exhibited maximum adsorption capacities ranging from 20.5 to 158.7 mg g−1 for the target ions. Kinetic and isotherm modeling showed that metal ions uptake followed a Langmuir isotherm model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with negative ΔG° values indicating a spontaneous adsorption process. Overall, the CF@[Cu2(nic)(bpy)2]2[PTA] nanoadsorbent demonstrates great potential for heavy metal ions removal from wastewater, making it a promising material for cleaner wastewater treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.
