چکیده انگلیسی


• Cr(VI) removal by adsorption process by Melaleuca diosmifolia was evaluated.
• pH, contact time, temperature and adsorbent dose influenced Cr(VI) removal.
• Adsorption kinetics validated the adsorption mechanism.
• Cr(VI) removal by the biomaterial followed ‘adsorption-coupled reduction’.
• Biosorbent exhibited a great potential in Cr(VI) removal from real samples.

The present study describes for the first time the utilization of dried twigs of Melaleuca diosmifolia, fallen off from the plant, to detoxify and remove hexavalent chromium or Cr(VI) from aqueous systems. Initial characterization by gas chromatography revealed that the selected biomaterial is one of the natural sources of eucalyptol. It constituted high concentrations of reducing compounds (iron, phenols and flavonoids). Batch studies revealed that the biosorbent (5 g L−1) was able to remove 97–99.9% of 250 mg L−1 Cr(VI) at wide-ranging pH (2–10) and temperature (24–48 °C). Adsorption kinetics was well described using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while the equilibrium adsorption data were interpreted in terms of the Langmuir isotherm model. The monolayer adsorption capacity was 62.5 mg g−1. Both inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and liquid chromatography analyses of the aqueous and solid phases revealed that the mechanism of Cr(VI) removal was ‘adsorption-coupled reduction’. Scanning electron microscope, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses of the biosorbent before and after adsorption also confirmed that both adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) followed by complexation onto functional groups of the active surface contributed to the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The selected biomaterial effectively (99.9%) removed Cr(VI) in lake and sea water samples, highlighting its potential for remediating Cr(VI) in real environmental conditions.
