Removal of Heavy Metals by Using Chitosan/ Poly (Acryl Amide-Acrylic Acid)Hydrogels: Characterization and Kinetic Study
Layth S. Jasim , Aseel M. Aljeboree
Abstract
In this Study, hydrogel P(CH/AA-co-AM) was prepared, identification and utilized as an efficient absorbent to
eliminate Cr (III) and Cd (II) ions from the aqueous solution. The adsorption of these ions follows Freundlich
isotherms. Due to greater activity surface of the hydrogel in adsorption of the contaminants, they can be utilized for
elimination of the mentioned ions from water. Therefore, we characterized structural, surface and thermal properties
of the prepared materials with technique: TGA, FE-SEM and FT-IR. Moreover, we implemented the kinetics of sorption
with regard to the amounts of the metal sorbet at distinct time intervals and thus examined the modeling of the
isotherm and kinetic curves. Finally, we computed the reaction order as well as rate constant.
