摘要
Adsorption of metals by clay minerals is a complex process controlled by a number of environmental variables. The present work investigates the removal of Cu(II) ions from an aqueous solution by kaolinite, montmorillonite, and their poly(oxo zirconium) and tetrabutylammonium derivatives. The entry of ZrO and TBA into the layers of both kaolinite and montmorillonite was confirmed by XRD measurement. The specific surface areas of kaolinite, ZrO-kaolinite, TBA-kaolinite, montmorillonite, ZrO-montmorillonite, TBA-montmorillonite were 3.8, 13.4, 14.0, 19.8, 35.8 and 42.2 m(2)/g, respectively. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) was measured as 11.3, 10.2, 3.9, 153.0, 73.2 and 47.6 meq/100 g for kaolinite, ZrO-kaolinite, TBA-kaolinite, montmorillonite, ZrO-montmorillonite, TBA-montmorillonite, respectively. Adsorption increased with pH till Cu(II) ions became insoluble in alkaline medium. The kinetics of the interactions suggests that the interactions could be best represented by a mechanism based on second order kinetics (k(2) = 7.7 x 10(-2) to 15.4 x 10(-2) g mg(-1) min(-1)). The adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm model with monolayer adsorption capacity of 3.0-28.8 mg g(-1). The process was endothermic with Delta H in the range 29.2-50.7 kJ mol(-1) accompanied by increase in entropy and decrease in Gibbs energy. The results have shown that kaolinite, montmorillonite and their poly(oxo zirconium) and tetrabutyl-ammonium derivatives could be used as adsorbents for separation of Cu(II) from aqueous solution.
