Adsorption of some heavy metal ions on sulfate- and phosphate-modified kaolin
AbstractKaolin (bright white lumps) from Ubulu-Ukwu in Delta State of Nigeria was modified with 200 μg mL−1 of phosphate and sulphate anions to give phosphate- and sulfate-modified adsorbents, respectively. The adsorption of four metal ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+) was studied as a function of metal ions concentration.The metal ions showed stronger affinity for the phosphate-modified adsorbent with Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ giving an average of 93.28%, 80.94%, 68.99%, and 61.44% uptake capacity. The order of preference for the various adsorbents shown by the metal ions was as follows:Pb2+>Cu2+>Zn2+>Cd2+Desorption studies showed that the phosphate-modified adsobent had the highest affinity for the metal ions, followed by the sulfate-modified clay while the unmodified clay had the least affinity.The experimental data were fitted by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models.
