Abstract:
The present investigation involves synthesis and characterization of MCM-41-AEAPTMS-Fe(iii)Cl using coordinated Fe(iii) on MCM-41-AEAPTMS for efficient removal of hazardous Cr(vi) ions from aqueous solution. The adsorbent MCM-41-AEAPTMS-Fe(iii)Cl was characterized using small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analyzer techniques. The BET surface area was found to be 87.598 m2 g-1. The MCM-41-AEAPTMS-Fe(iii)Cl effectively adsorbs Cr(vi) with an adsorption capacity acquiring the maximum value of 84.9 mg g-1 at pH 3 at 298 K. The data followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamic data proved the exothermic and spontaneous nature of Cr(vi) ion adsorption on MCM-41-AEAPTMS-Fe(iii). Further, the higher value of ΔH° (-64.339 kJ mol-1) indicated that the adsorption was chemisorption in nature.
