The Adsorption Behavior of Modified Peanut Shells for Cr (VI)

Abstract:

The adsorption of Cr(VI) by modified peanut shell has been investigated using chemical methods and IR spectrometry. The optimal condition for the adsorption of Cr(VI) by modified peanut shell is at 308 K and pH = 1.0, which gives a static saturated adsorption capacity of 14.15 mg·g-1, an apparent adsorption rate constant of k298 = 2.43 × 10-4 s-1, and an apparent adsorption activation energy of 10.58 kJ·mol-1. The adsorption follows the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the liquid film diffusion is the controlling process of the adsorption. The adsorption thermodynamic parameters are ΔH = 125.58 kJ·mol-1, ΔS = 0.473 9 kJ·mol-1·K-1, ΔG = -17.81– -27.27 kJ·mol-1. Small amount of desorption is observed only at pH > 11. Adsorption mechanism of modified peanut shells for Cr(VI) was both physical adsorption and chemical adsorption of adsorbent "adsorption-oxidation and reduction processes".
