Abstract
The present work dedicated to the removal of Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solution onto a synthetized TiO2-AC composite. Composite characterization was carried out by determining of the point of zero charge pHpzc, iodine number, methylene blue index and FT-IR spectra. Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode and the influences of composite quantity, contact time, Cr(VI) ions concentration, ionic strength, and pH were studied. The highest adsorption were obtained in acid medium, with lowest adsorbent quantity (0.01 g) and initial solution concentration of 10 ppm. The results of kinetic studies revealed that Cr(VI) adsorption process on TiO2-AC composite followed pseudo second-order kinetic model. Non-linear regression was applied to equilibrium data and Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin isotherm models were used for evaluation of adsorption parameters. The best-fitting was estimated based on correlation coefficient R2 value and the calculation of error deviations between experimental and predicted equilibrium adsorption data, using non-linear analysis. The results showed that Freundlich model describing adsorption process the best. The isotherm parameters from Langmuir and Freundlich models revealed that Cr(VI) adsorption mechanism on the composite is linear, spontaneous, and endothermic follows chemisorption process.
