Abstract
In this study, Al2O3 with a large surface area and a porous structure was chemically modified by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) using the biopolymer poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a binder to prepare the novel Al2O3/PVA-EDTA nanocomposite for enhanced Pb2+ adsorption. The Pb2+ removal reached a steady state within the initial 10 min. Under optimal conditions, the removal efficiency and sorption capacity were 87.34 % and 209.61 mg/g with a rate constant of 0.005 g.mg-1.min-1. The adsorption was most compatible with the Langmuir isotherm with qmax of 467.29 mg/g. The influence of other ions such as Cu2+, Cd2+, Fe3+, and Ni2+ on the removal efficiency was also examined. The Pb2+ removal mechanism was involved in electrostatic interactions, coordinative bonding, and complexation with EDTA, which was confirmed by FT-IR analysis. Moreover, the Pb2+ ions were effectively re-adsorbed onto the adsorbent after the 5th cycle, corresponding to 97.65 % for the first cycle.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
