Use of Natural Kaolinite Clay as an Adsorbent to Remove PB(II), CD(II), and CU(II) from Aqueous Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Natural kaolinite clay collected in the State of Sergipe (northeast Brazil) was used as an adsorbent for the ions Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+ present in aqueous solution. Adsorption equilibrium was reached rapidly, enabling use of a contact time of 30 minutes, and maximum adsorption was achieved at pH 7.0. For all three metal ions, the adsorption data could be fitted using the Langmuir isotherm and the adsorption process obeyed a pseudo-second order kinetic model.
