Abstract
This paper presents the adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution onto Unye (Turkey) bentonite in raw (RB), iron oxide-coated (ICB) and magnesium oxide-coated (MCB) forms. Adsorption of Pb(II) by samples was investigated as a function of the initial Pb(II) concentration, solution pH, ionic strength, temperature and inorganic ligand effect (Clâ). Changes in the surface and structure were characterized by means of XRD and N2 gas adsorption data. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities of RB, ICB and MCB in 0.1Â M KNO3 solution were estimated as 16.70, 22.20 and 31.86Â mg/g, respectively. The spontaneity of the adsorption process is established by decrease in ÎG which varied from â21.60 to â28.60Â kJ/mol (RB), â21.74 to â32.22Â kJ/mol (ICB) and â26.27 to â33.11 (MCB) in temperature range 303-338Â K.
