Abstract:

A simple solid-phase synthesis method was optimized for the synthesis of silica-chromium oxide composite particles for the efficient separation of toxic metal ions from the aqueous streams. The sorption capacity of different toxic metal ions followed the trend: Al3+> Zn2+> Ga3+> Fe3+> Bi3+> Pb2+> In3+> Cd2+> Ag+> Ba2+. The sorption followed Lagergren 1st order kinetics, while different isotherm models were employed to understand the sorption mechanism. The sorption was found to proceeds via physi-sorption. The stability of the sorbent in presence of long time contact of aqueous stream was also evaluated and was found to be satisfactory

Keywords:

Silica-Chromium Oxide Composite, toxic metals, isotherm, 1st order kinetics
