Removal of Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Microcapsules Prepared by 8-Hydroxy-Quinoline with Polystyrene

Abstract:

The removal of Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺,Cd²⁺,Cr³⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions from aqueous solution was studied by sorption onto polystyrene microcapsules containing 8-hydroxy-quinoline as extraction reagent. The micro-capsules containing 8-hydroxy-quinoline were prepared by solvent evaporation method with O/W emulsion and characterized by using optical microscope, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The uptake to Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺,Cd²⁺,Cr³⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions into the microcapsules was studied at deferent conditions. It showed that with the increasing dosage of microcapsules, the removal of metal ions increased too. The longer is standing time, the more is the increasing of adsorption capacity. The sorption of metal ions decreases with the initial pH of the solution increasing, and the sorption of microcapsule for metal ions is lower at 50°C. The sorption of Cr³⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions is highest at 45°C, and that of Fe³⁺, Cd²⁺ is at 40°C. The results showed that the microcapsules could absorb Cr³⁺ ions better than other metal ions.
