Removal and Recovery of Molybdenum from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption onto Surfactant‐Modified Coir Pith, a Lignocellulosic Polymer
10.1002/clen.200800130.abs
Coconut coir pith, a lignocellulosic polymer, is an unwanted by‐product of the coir fiber industry. The pith was used as a biosorbent for the removal of Molybdenum(VI) after modification with a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The optimum pH for maximum adsorption of Mo(VI) was found to be 3.0. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin Radushkevich isotherms were used to model the adsorption equilibrium data and the system was seen to follow all three isotherms. The Langmuir adsorption capacity of the biosorbent was found to be 57.5 mg g–1. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption generally obeyed a second‐order kinetic model. Desorption studies showed that the recovery of Mo(VI) from the spent adsorbent was feasible. The effect of foreign anions on the adsorption of Mo(VI) was also examined.
