摘要
This study deals with heavy metal ions removal from simulated water using biosynthesized silica-supported iron oxide nanocomposites (nano-IOS). Agricultural and garden wastes have been utilized to prepare nano-IOS through a green synthesis process. Nano-IOS was characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, and zeta potential analysis. The nanocomposites were used to remove five heavy metals, viz., Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ , with optimization of reaction parameters including pH, the concentration of heavy metals, adsorbent dosage, and contact time in batch mode experiments. The optimized dose of nano-IOS was 0.75 g/L for the adsorption of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ (10.0 mg/L) with a contact duration of 70 min at pH 5.0 for Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Cu 2+ and 6.0 for Ni 2+ and Zn 2+ . The adsorption behavior of the nano-adsorbent was well described by Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model indicating chemisorption on the surface of nano-IOS. The adsorption was also found spontaneous and endothermic. Thus, the environmentally benign and bio-synthesized nano-IOS can be utilized as an effective nano-adsorbent for the rapid sequestration of heavy metal ions from water and wastewater.
