Abstract:
As(V) in aquatic environment has posed a great threat to human beings due to its high mobility and toxicity. Developing economical and efficient adsorbents is vital for the removal of arsenic contamination in wastewater. We herein report the synthesis of FeOOH-MnO2/Sepiolite and Fe2O3-MnO2/Diatomite using the hydrothermal treatment method at 180 degrees C for 12 h with KMnO4, MnCl2, and FeCl3 as metal source and urea as precipitating agent. The FeOOH-MnO2 or Fe2O3-MnO2 composite was in situ grown on the sepiolite or diatomite support, resulting in a significant enhancement in surface area (which was 77.4 and 83.0 m2/g for the supported FeOOHMnO2 and Fe2O3-MnO2 samples, respectively). FeOOH-MnO2/Sepiolite and Fe2O3-MnO2/Diatomite could effectively remove As(V), with the maximal As(V) adsorption capacities at 25 degrees C and pH = 7 being 124.3 and 148.2 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, both samples exhibited good recycle As(V) adsorption performance. In addition. As(V) adsorption mechanisms of the samples were also discussed. The As(V) adsorption on FeOOHMnO2/Sepiolite and Fe2O3-MnO2/Diatomite obeyed the Freundlich and Langmuir isothermal adsorption models, respectively. Considering their simple synthesis processes and excellent adsorption performance, we are sure that FeOOH-MnO2/Sepiolite and Fe2O3-MnO2/Diatomite are promising adsorbents for arsenic removal from wastewater.
