Removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions by adsorption on magnetic bentonite

Abstract

Bentonite is a porous clay material that shows good performance for adsorbing heavy metals and other pollutants for wastewater remediation. In our previous study, magnetic bentonite (M-B) was prepared to solve the separation problem and improve the operability. In this study, we investigated the influence of various parameters on the Pb(II) adsorption of M-B, and it showed effective performance. About 98.9% adsorption removal rate was achieved within 90 min at adsorbent dose of 10 g/L for initial Pb(II) concentration of 200 mg/L at 40 °C and pH 5. The adsorption kinetic fit well by the pseudo-second-order model, and also followed the intra-particle diffusion model up to 90 min. Moreover, adsorption data were successfully reproduced by the Langmuir isotherm; the maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 80.40 mg/g. The mechanism of interaction between Pb(II) ions and M-B was ionic exchange, surface complexation, and electro-static interactions. Thermodynamics study indicated that the reaction of Pb(II) adsorption on M-B was endothermic and spontaneous; increasing the temperature promoted adsorption. This study was expected to provide a reference and theoretical basis for the treatment of Pb-containing wastewater using bentonite materials.
