Adsorption Characteristics of Pb2+ from Aqueous Solution on the Corn Stalk/montmorillonite Nanocomposite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The corn stalk/montmorillonite(CS/MMT) nanocomposite was prepared by a solution intercalation technique. The effects of the initial pH value of Pb2+ solution, contact time and the dosage of adsorbent on the adsorption capacitiy of CS/MMT nanocomposite for Pb2+ were investigated. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of nanocomposite were also studied. The results indicated that with the initial pH value increasing, the adsorption capacity of the CS/MMT nanocomposite increased. Compared with the adsorption capacity of CS (6.32 mg/g), the nanocomposite exhibited the higher adsorption capacity (31.95 mg/g). The adsorption behaviors of CS/MMT nanocomposite showed that the adsorption kinetics was in accorded with pseudo-second-order equation and the adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir and Freundlich equation.
