The aim of this study was to investigate the Cr(VI) adsorption to magnetic iron oxide(MIO) nanoparticle- multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in aqueous solutions using batch experiments. Results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) to MIO-MWCNTs was 11.256 mg/g. Kinetic model analysis demonstrates that the pseudo-second-order model and Elovich model are suitable for describing the kinetic data. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that Cr(VI) adsorption to MIO-MWCNTs decreased with increasing temperature from 5-60 °C, indicating the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the sorption process. Equilibrium isotherm analysis demonstrates that the Redlich-Peterson model suitably describes the equilibrium data. In the pH experiments, Cr(VI) adsorption to MIO-MWCNTs decreased gradually from 5.70-2.13 mg/g with increasing pH from 3.0-7.3. Sequential extraction indicates that, among the five binding forms of Cr(VI) associated with MIO-MWCNTs, the predominant contributions are the fraction bound to Fe-Mn oxides (57.82%) and the residual (23.38%).
