Evaluation of the Adsorption of Hexavalent Chromium on Kaolinite and Illite

Abstract: The adsorption of hexavalent chromium on Kaolinite and Illite was studied in order to evaluate their potential for the reduction of hexavalent chromium mobility and their possible application for the treatment of polluted sediment. The influence of various parameters affecting the adsorption of hexavalent chromium, such as the pH of aqueous solution, the ionic strength and the initial metal ion concentration were investigated. The optimal pH range corresponding to the hexavalent chromium adsorption maximum on … Show more

“…Thus, the available adsorption sites are easily occupied by Cr(VI) at low initial concentrations, resulting in a higher Cr removal efficiency from the solution [56]. At the initial Cr(VI) concentration of 10 -6 M Cr(VI) at pH 5- adsorption on these minerals [21,48,56].…”

“…The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to the mq and river water experiments to characterize the sorption of Cr (VI) onto kaolin under these conditions. The Langmuir isotherm model assumes single layer adsorption on a finite number of homogeneous adsorption sites and is expressed in the following equation (Acharya et al, ; Ajouyed et al, ): Ceqe=1Qm×b+CeQm …”

“…With an increase of pH at values higher than 2.5 the adsorption capacities of the studied material decrease. At lower pH the predominant species of chromium ions is HCrO 4 − and the adsorbent surface present an increase in H + ions [27,28]. The strong electrostatic attraction between positively charged adsorbent surface and chromate ions can be the explanation of the increasing of the adsorption capacity of the studied materials at lower pH values.…”

“…When the monolayer is saturated, the maximum adsorption occurs. In addition the model assumes that the adsorbate molecules cannot migrate on the adsorbent surface, the energy of adsorption being constant [27][28][29]. The linear form of Langmuir isotherm is described by the Equation (2): e e e L m m…”
