Abstract
We studied the conditions for the adsorption of zinc, cadmium, and mercury(II) ions on a modified adsorbent based on an ARA-8p highly basic anion exchange resin and a Rhodanine derivative, 5-(4-carboxyphenyl-azo)rhodanine (ARA-8p-p-KBAR), in a batch mode. The values of pH, phase contact time, and adsorbate concentration at which the maximum recovery of zinc, cadmium, and mercury(II) ions was achieved were determined. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the adsorbed ions was determined from the obtained adsorption isotherms. The calculated value of the free energy shows that adsorption proceeds with the formation of an ionic bond. Eluents were selected to ensure the quantitative desorption of zinc, cadmium, and mercury(II) ions. The interfering effect of macrocomponents and trace elements of water was studied; zinc, cadmium, and mercury(II) ions were quantitatively adsorbed by this adsorbent from a solution of a complex composition. A procedure was developed for the adsorption–atomic-absorption determination of zinc, cadmium, and mercury(II) ions in various water samples.
