Adsorption Mechanism of Attapulgite for Cu(ΙΙ) in Aqueous Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Adsorption of Cu(Ⅱ) onto natural attapulgite was investigated with respect to temperature, initial concentration and contact time. The adsorption process can be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the equilibrium adsorption isotherm was closely fitted with the Freundlich model. Enthalpy change(△H0), entropy change(△S0) and Gibbs free energy change(△G0) were calculated from the temperature dependent sorption data, and the results indicated that the sorption of Cu(Ⅱ) on attapulgite was a spontaneous process, and the sorption was endothermic.
