Description
Summary:The study aimed to enhance the stability and efficiency of removing bivalent Pb(II) by encapsulating AlNi-layered double hydroxide (LDH) in chitosan and itaconic acid to create an adsorbent with chemically active sites. The resulting material, AlNi-LDH/CS, underwent thorough property analysis using XRD, FT-IR, XPS, EDX, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm, and FESEM to find out what textural characteristics it has. Specifically, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms were utilized to assess the textural properties of AlNi-LDH/CS. The Al/Ni-LDH/CS surface displayed a specific surface area of 71.95 m2/g and an average pore size of 2.537 nm, consistent with the platelets' external surface. The effects of dose, pH, temperature, and starting concentration on the adsorption process were also investigated in this study. The adsorption characteristics have been examined by means of equilibrium and adsorption kinetics. The adsorption process adhered to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. The predominant adsorption process was found to be chemisorption, which had an adsorption energy of 28.42 kJ·mol−1. An endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process is suggested by the increase in metal absorption at increasing temperatures. The Box-Behnken design software was utilized to establish the optimal adsorption parameters as pH 5, a dosage of 0.2 g of AlNi-LDH/CS per 25 mL, and an adsorption capacity of 453.05 mg/g for the Pb(II) arsenate solution. For the composite sponge to be most effective in adsorbing arsenate and be used in water purification procedures, these factors are essential. The adsorption process was successfully improved with few planned tests by applying the Box-Behnken design and response surface technique aspects of the Design-Expert software. An evaluation of the adsorbent's reusability using six successive cycles of adsorption and desorption confirmed its stability and showed no discernible decrease in removal efficiency. Additionally, it retained its original chemical composition before and after reuse, showcased consistent efficiency, and maintained uniform XRD data.
