| Abstract | AbstractThe kinetics, mechanism, isotherm, and thermodynamics of adsorption of Pb2+ onto wood-activated carbon-supported zerovalent iron (WAC-nZVI) nanocomposite was successfully studied. WAC-nZVI was characterized by a combination of spectroscopic and analytical techniques (BET, PZC, FTIR, SEM, and EDX). BET surface area was 101.50 m2/g and BJH Adsorption average pore diameter 116.73 A. The adsorption of Pb2+ studied in batch process depends on various operational parameters ranging from effect of pH to ionic strength. Kinetics data were best described by pseudo-second-order model based on high initial adsorption rate, h2 (166.67 mgg−1 min−1) and correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99). The mechanism was controlled by both external and intraparticle diffusion models confirmed by Bangham and Boyd models. Equilibrium data were fitted to seven isotherm models. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity (77.52 m2/g) surpassed those previously investigated for adsorption of Pb2+ onto nanoadsorbents. Validity of k... |
