Preparation of Spherical Rice Husk Zeolite NaY Granules for Adsorption of Cu2+

Article Preview

Abstract:

Spherical rice husk zeolite NaY granules (RH-NaYg) were prepared by cross-linking of alginate biopolymer and using bentonite as the binder to obtain a uniform shape. The composition of granulation mixture was rice husk zeolite NaY, bentonite clay and alginate in the ratio of 50:30:20, respectively. The RH-NaYg were calcined at 600 °C to remove alginate and enhance the hardness of granules. Moreover, the RH-NaYg were determined surface area by N2 adsorption-desorption before utilization as the adsorbent for adsorption of Cu2+ at pH 5 for 90 min. The residual concentration of Cu2+ was reacted with NH4OH to form the blue complex and measured at the wavelength of 606 nm by UV-vis Spectrophotometer. The average adsorption capacity of RH-NaYg in 5000 ppm Cu2+ solution at pH 5 for 90 min was 242.27±0.12 mg/g.
