▲ [20a-F102-12] Kinetics and equilibrium studies for removal of silver from aqueous solutions by hybrid hydrogels
キーワード:Hybrid hydrogel, Metal adsorption, Kinetics
Hybrid hydrogels with grafted and crosslinked polymeric networks were prepared by γ-radiation at atmosphere condition. The obtained hydrogels were soaked into 40ml of Ag+ of various concentrations (50-1000 ppb) in polypropylene tube. Samples were taken at different time intervals (0–48 hr.) and remaining metal concentrations were analyzed by ICP-MS. The optimal pH for Ag+ adsorption process was 5. The experimental equilibrium were tested for the Langmuir, Freundlich. Pseudo-first- and -second-order kinetic models were used for describing kinetic data. The kinetics of Ag+ removal of hybrid gels indicated rapid binding of metal ions to the adsorbents during 10 hrs., followed by a slow increase until equilibrium state was reached after 26 hrs. It was determined that removal of Ag+ was well fitted by second-order reaction kinetic.
