Abstract:
Mesoporous silica supported adsorbents have been used towards metal ion removal from water due to their thermally stability and good sorption capacity. Thus, mesoporous silica-based methyl acrylate monomer (Silica-APTES-DPNO) was converted into hydroxamic acid (SBHA) by using oximation reaction and all products are analyzed by by FT-IR. The SBHA showed satisfactory binding properties with copper, cobalt, nickel and lead are 242, 206, 195 and 516 mg g-1, respectively, with the batch adsorption system was set to pH 6. The kinetics of metal ions binding obeyed the pseudo-1st-order process up to 60 min. In this study also consider the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm to find out the sorption behavior. The isotherm study demonstrated the well fit with Freundlich isotherm (R² > 0.99). Thus, adsorption take place as a multilayer system, therefore, SBHA material is useful for the metal ions removal from water.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
