Abstract

Adsorption isotherms of Ni (II) and Cu (II) ions by alumino-silicates, modified with N, N'-bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) thiocarbamide (BTM-3), and HCl, were obtained. The adsorption kinetics of heavy metal ions is studied, using the kinetic pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models. It is shown that, when alumino-silicates are modified, the rate and energy of adsorption increase. It is established that the kinetics of the adsorption of the studied ions is best described by a pseudo-second order model. The maximum value of the adsorption rate constant of 33.7∙10-5 g/ (mmol min) corresponds to nickel (II) ions for alumino-silicates, modified with HCl. The maximum value of the adsorption rate constant value of 2.91∙10-5 g/ (mmol min) for alumino-silicates, modified with BTM-3, corresponds to Cu (II) ions.
