The aim of this study was to remove palladium ions from aqueous media in a batch operating system. A newly synthesized magnetic Fe3O4/SiO2/OPPh2 (diphenylphosphinite) nanocomposite was used as the adsorbent. This nanocomposite was examined by Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray spectroscopy methods. The factors that influence the adsorption equilibrium were examined, such as pH value, adsorbent dosage, metal concentration, adsorption time, temperature, influence of desorption solutions, concentration of the desorption solution and the influence of the ions present at the same time, namely Cd2 +, Ni2 +, Ca2 +, Co2 +, Fe3 +, Ba2 + and Pt4 + were determined based on the adsorbent used (Fe3O4 / SiO2 / OPPh2). Under optimal conditions and at the same concentrations, the interfering ions have only a very slight influence on the Pd (II) uptake. It was found that the fit isotherm is the Fritz-Schlunder model. The best possible model was determined in advance on the basis of seven error functions. Thermodynamic parameters indicate the endothermic, irreversible and non-spontaneous nature of the adsorption.
