Adsorption of mercury on iron nanoparticles supported on Fique fiber: kinetics and adsorption isotherm
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Mercury ions adsorption from an aqueous solution on iron nanoparticles supported on fique fiber was studied. Adsorption variables such as: pH effect, mercury ions ([Hg+2]) initial concentration and iron load (Fe% weight) in the adsorbent material were studied. The experimental results are presented allow to infer that the chemisorption mechanism predominates in the adsorption of mercury with respect to physisorption. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to describe the physical adsorption of mercury; Howe-ver, they failed to adequately describe most of the experimental isotherms obtained. It was established that the adsorption kinetics of mercury on the surface of the iron nano-particles supported on fique fiber is properly described by a pseudo-second order model that involves chemisorption (chemical reaction) as a rate control mechanism, indicating that the adsorption process is irreversible. pH has no apparent effect on adsorption in the pH range 4 to 7; However, at pH higher than 8, the adsorption capacity increases as the pH value increases.
