The efficiency of parthenium weed as an adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from water has been studied. Parthenium is found to exhibit substantial adsorption capacity over a wide range of initial Cd(II) ions concentration. Effect of time, temperature, pH and concentration on the adsorption of Cd(II) was investigated by batch process. Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order models were evaluated. The kinetics data for the adsorption process obeyed second-order rate equation. The equilibrium data could be described well by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thermodynamic parameters such as DeltaH degrees , DeltaS degrees and DeltaG degrees were calculated. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic and spontaneous. The maximum adsorption of Cd(II) ions (99.7%) in the pH range 3-4 indicated that material could be effectively utilized for the removal of Cd(II) ions from wastewater. The desorption studies showed 82% recovery of Cd(II) when 0.1 M HCl solution was used as effluent.
已对银胶菊作为从水中去除镉(II)的吸附剂的效率进行了研究。发现银胶菊在很宽的初始镉(II)离子浓度范围内都表现出相当大的吸附容量。采用分批处理法研究了时间、温度、pH值和浓度对镉(II)吸附的影响。对伪一级和伪二级模型进行了评估。吸附过程的动力学数据符合二级速率方程。平衡数据可用朗缪尔等温线和弗伦德利希等温线很好地描述。计算了诸如ΔH°、ΔS°和ΔG°等热力学参数。发现吸附过程是吸热的且自发的。在pH值为3 - 4的范围内,镉(II)离子的最大吸附率为99.7%,这表明该材料可有效地用于从废水中去除镉(II)离子。解吸研究表明,当使用0.1 M盐酸溶液作为流出液时,镉(II)的回收率为82%。
