Toplam 205 atıf DOI
In this study, surface modification of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) was carried out with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde (GA). The obtained modified-NPs (GA-APTES-NPs) were evaluated for Cu(II) removal from water by adsorption. First, Fe3O4-NPs were synthesized by co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ with Fe2+/Fe3+ in a ratio of 1.75 in an ammonia solution, then surface of Fe3O4-NPs was modified with APTES and GA. The morphology and properties of the NPs were examined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and magnetization measurement. The batch experiments showed that modified-NPs can be effectively used to remove Cu(II) from water. Adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 15 min. The adsorption of Cu(II) by GA-APTES-NPs strongly depends on the pH of the solution. Maximum removal of Cu(II) was obtained at pH between 4.0 and 5.3. The isotherm analysis indicated that the sorption data can be represented by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The regeneration studies also showed that GA-APTES-NPs could be re-used for the adsorption of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions over three cycles without change in the sorption capacity and magnetization properties.

Use of natural polymers as biosorbents for heavy metal removal is advantageous. This paper reports a study aiming to design a novel biosorbent from two biomacromolecules; chitosan, a versatile derivative of chitin, and sporopollenin, a biopolymer with excellent mechanical properties and great resistance to chemical and biological attack. Chitosan/sporopollenin microcapsules were prepared via cross-linking and characterised by employing scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Sorption performance of the microcapsules and the plain chitosan beads were tested for Cu(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions at different metal ion concentration, pH, amount of sorbent, temperature and sorption time. The adsorption pattern followed Langmuir isotherm model and the sorption capacity of the chitosan/sporopollenin microcapsules was found to be Cu(II): 1.34, Cd(II): 0.77, Cr(III): 0.99, Ni(II): 0.58 and Zn(II): 0.71mmolg-1. Plain chitosan beads showed higher affinity for the ions; Cu(II): 1.46, Cr(III): 1.16 and Ni(II): 0.81mmolg-1 but lower for Cd(II): 0.15 and Zn(II): 0.25mmolg-1. Sporopollenin enhanced Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions sorption capacity of the chitosan microcapsules. Chitosan/sporopollenin microcapsules can be used in Cd(II) and Zn(II) metal removal.
