Abstract: | Background The adsorption characteristics of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions onto calix4]naphthalene have been investigated. Method Calix4]naphthalene was prepared by the condensation of 1-naphthol and formaldehyde (1:2) in presence of hydrochloric acid at 80°C. The effect of various operation parameters, such as solution pH, initial metal ion concentration, contact time, and temperature, on the adsorption capacity of calix4]naphthalene for Pb2+ have been investigated. Result Experimental results showed that the adsorption of Pb2+ ions increased with the increase in solution pH and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models were used to describe the adsorption behavior of Pb2+ by calix4]naphthalene. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacity of calix4]naphthalene for Pb2+ at 30°C was found to be 29.15 mg g?1. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption followed pseudo-second order model and the thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The obtained results demonstrated that calix4]naphthalene can be used as an effective adsorbent for Pb2+ ions removal from water. |
