Abstract
This research concerns the adsorption of CuII and NiII using zero-valent iron nanoparticles supported by kaolinite (nZVI-Kaolinite). The characterization studies indicated that the surface of kaolinite or the kaolinite fragments were filled with nZVI particles. The kinetics of CuII and NiII adsorption were evaluated for various contact times. The adsorption of CuII and NiII at different initial concentrations was examined by injecting 0.5 g of adsorbent to achieve equilibrium. The adsorption of CuII and NiII was a chemisorption process, which fitted well with the Freundlich and the Temkin isotherm models. The low value of activation energy suggests the occurrence of a redox process and both physical and chemical processes for CuII and NiII adsorption respectively. The negative values for the Gibbs free energy (ΔG0) and enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH0) revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. Both surface diffusion and pore diffusion were involved in the rate-limiting step. The possible removal mechanisms involved redox, adsorption, precipitation, and co-precipitation, depending on the adsorption process studied (CuII or NiII adsorption).
