Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Equilibrium Adsorption of CR (VI) and HG (II) in Aqueous Solution on Corn Husk (Zea Mays)

Abstract: The use of agroindustrial waste as low-cost adsorbents in water treatment is an option over conventional technologies. In the present investigation, a thermodynamic, kinetic and equilibrium study of the adsorption of chromium (VI) and mercury (II) ions from corn husk biomass (Zea mays) was carried out, determining the functional groups in the biomass surface by means of FTIR analysis. Hydroxyl, carboxylic and aliphatic groups were found to be the major contributors to the metal removal process. Batch adsorptio… Show more

“…As was reported previously, Cr(VI) adsorption by using coconut shells is endothermic, spontaneous, and irreversible (Ijeamaka, Christian, Fabian, MaryJane, and Joseph, 2018) and tamarind shells behave similarly (Bangaraiah, 2020). By contrast, adsorption by means of corn residues is reversible, favourable, spontaneous, and endothermic (Núñez-Zarur, Tejada-Tovar, Villabona-Ortíz, Acevedo, and Tejada-Tovar, 2018). Thus, the objective of the present work is to determine the influence of temperature on the adsorption of Cr(VI) present in aqueous solutions, using waste materials from the agro-industry such as palm bagasse and plantain peels.…”

“…The results reveal that Langmuir's model best describes the adsorption equilibrium of Pb(II) on cattle manure; however, Freundlich's model also performs well in fitting the data. Therefore, it can be said that the initial stages of the process The q max value of Langmuir's model and the n value of Freundlich's model indicate that the adsorbent has an affinity with Pb(II) ions and that the adsorption is favourable [NÚÑEZ-ZARUR et al 2018]. From the value of parameter b (dm 3 •mg -1 ), which is close to 1, it can be inferred that active adsorption centres in biomass are selective and that the ability of metals to bind to the surface depends on whether or not nearby positions are occupied [OBIKE et al 2018].…”

“…The synthetic solution of Cr (VI) was prepared using 0.2828 g of potassium dichromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) in 1 L of deionized water to obtain a concentration of 100 ppm of the solution, which pH was 2 [23], [24].…”
