Adsorption and estimation of As (III) from wastewater using cross linked Chitosan-STPP nanoparticles with voltammetric analysis computrace, isotherms, and kinetic study
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a naturally occurring polycationic linear amino polysaccharide produced commonly through the deacetylation of chitin. This study describes the synthesis of Chitosan (CS) modified with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) using an efficient coated Cross-linked method. The study investigated the efficacy of chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CS-STPP) nanoparticles for the efficient adsorption of As (III) ions from a wastewater solution. The effect of initial Arsenic (III) ion concentration, solution pH, and temperature on adsorption efficiency was thoroughly investigated. The highest adsorption capacity of CS-STPP nano adsorbents for As (III) was found to be 39.8 mg/g and 39.6 mg/g, respectively, at pH 5.5, and a temperature of 30 °C. The FESEM, SEM, HRTEM, XRD, FTIR, DLS, and TGA results indicated that the adsorption process of As (III) was chemically dominating. As (III) Determine with the anodic linear sweep voltammetry 797 VA Computrace (Metrohm). The Langmuir parameters of 40.9 mg/g and 1000 L/mg were found for maximum adsorption capacity, which indicated monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous site, Freundlich isotherm is applicable for multilayer adsorption onto heterogeneous sites. The thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption of As (III) by CS-STPP was spontaneous, feasible, and exothermic at temperatures ranging from 30 °C to 50 °C. The kinetic model indicated that the adsorption processes persist well to the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The reaction is suitable for a pseudo-second-order model, it indicates an inclination for chemisorption. Adsorption-desorption processes are determined efficiency of bio adsorbent by several physicochemical cycles. All results indicate that the prepared CS-STPP nanoparticles might be considered a cost-effective adsorbent for removing As (III) from wastewater.
