Chitosan is a product of the partial N-deacetylation of chitin, which has several desirable properties like biodegradability, hydrophilicity, anti-bacterial, and non-toxicity, which is known to be biodegradable material, non-toxic, efficient, inexpensive, and highly competitive with ion-exchange resins and activated carbon. Such a structure has chemically active functional groups viz. hydroxyl (-OH) and amino (-NH2) as efficient sites to bind metal ions. It can be apply to in-situ remediation of heavy metal contaminations in groundwater. However, the procedure of contaminated waste stream remediation would be costly if chitosan were to be used alone. Filters must be constructed along the stream requiring large quantities of material but much lower amounts are needed if chitosan is immobilized on low-cost material.Experiments were conducted batchwise as a function of different Immobilization ratio to sludge (1:100、2.5:100、5:100), different copper concentration (50-1000 ppm), solution pH (3 and 4), and contact time (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 h). Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were used to describe static isotherms and constants. The data fitted well with Langmuir model at six hours contact time. The C(subscript max)(mg/g) at pH=3 and pH=4 were confirmed at 1:100-CIS (11.20), 2.5:100-CIS (16.644), 5:100-CIS (19.12), and 1:100-CIS (12.35), 2.5:100-CIS (17.64), 5:100-CIS (18.92), respectively. Kinetic studies followed the pseudo-second order reaction which indicated that the chemical sorption is the rate-limiting step. Results of desorption process signified potential for recovering metal ions from CIS. |
