Abstract:
Clinoptilolite modified by hydrotalcite was studied by static adsorption method to assess its capacity for the adsorption of chromium(Ⅵ)from synthetic solutions.Influence of pH,contact time,adsorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption was investigated.The modified clinoptilolite was found to adsorb chromium(Ⅵ)rapidly.The maximum amount of adsorption nearly reached in 30 minutes.The dependence of the adsorption on the pH was studied to achieve the optimum pH-value and the adsorption mechanism was explained.The maximum adsorption took place at pH-value of 4~6.Langmuir equations could describe the adsorption isotherms data,the amount of saturate adsorption calculated was 4.5
2mg/g.Pseudo-second-order kinetics equation was used to describe the adsorption rate and adsorption rate constant was calculated.
