Abstract
The efficiency of azo dye Acid Red 18 (AR18) and Cu(II) ions simultaneous removal from an aqueous solution on NaP1CS and NaP1H was investigated, taking into account the effect of the phase contact time, pH, initial concentration, temperature, and interfering ions presence. Zeolite denoted as NaP1CS was modified by chitosan (CS) and zeolite denoted as NaP1H was modified by hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA). In order to characterize sorption properties of NaP1CS, the obtained sorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption (ASAP). The kinetic parameters were determined by means of the pseudo first order (PFO), pseudo second order (PSO), and intraparticle diffusion (IPD) kinetic models. To present the adsorption data, three different isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich) were used. The desorption process was also examined. It was found that for sorbent NaP1CS the pseudo second order (PSO) kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm fitted best the experimental data. Moreover, it was noted that the acidic pH is appropriate to achieve the best sorption properties of NaP1CS for Cu(II) and NaP1H for AR18 and Cu(II). The thermodynamic parameters indicate an endothermic process. The most effective solution for the desorption process was found to be 1 M HCl. The results indicate that simultaneous removal of dye AR18 and Cu(II) on modified zeolite NaP1CS or NaP1H is possible and proceeds with a very good efficiency. The obtained zeolites could effectively adsorb AR18 an Cu(II) simultaneously, but their adsorption abilities were rather different.
