Abstract

The removal performances of divalent heavy metal ions (<TEX>$Pb^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Cu^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Cd^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Sr^{2+}$</TEX> and <TEX>$Mn^{2+}$</TEX>) were studied using the Na-P1 zeolite synthesized from Jeju scoria in the batch and continuous fixed column reactor. The uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite decreased in the order of <TEX>$Pb^{2+}$</TEX> > <TEX>$Cu2^{2+}$</TEX> > <TEX>$Cd^{2+}$</TEX> > <TEX>$Sr^{2+}$</TEX> > <TEX>$Mn^{2+}$</TEX> based on the selectivity of each ion to ionic exchange site of Na-P1 zeolite for single and mixed solutions in batch or continuous fixed column reactor. For mixed solution, each heavy metal ion uptake was lower than that in single solution, and especially the uptake for <TEX>$Mn^{2+}$</TEX> decreased greatly. In batch reactor, the uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite were described by Freundlich or Langmuir equation, but they followed the former better than the latter. In continuous fixed column reactor, the maximum ion exchange capacity obtained for each of heavy metal ions, was about 90----- of that in batch reactor. The uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite increased with the increase of initial heavy metal concentration and solution pH, and the decrease of the amount and particle size of synthetic zeolite.
