Dual immobilization of magnetite nanoparticles and biosilica within alginate matrix for the adsorption of Cd(II) from aquatic phase

Mahdi Safari et al.

Summary: The main objective of this study was to investigate the adsorption of cadmium ions by magnetite (Fe3O4)@biosilica/alginate (MBA nano-hybrid). The MBA nano-hybrid was synthesized using a chemical precipitation technique and characterized using FT-IR, FESEM, and XRD analysis. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for Cd(II) removal was achieved at an initial pH of 7.0. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic models were found to be the best fit for the experimental data. Thermodynamic study results indicated that the adsorption of Cd(II) on the surface of MBA nano-hybrid was exothermic and spontaneous. The nano-hybrid adsorbent showed a negligible reduction in adsorption capacity after multiple experimental runs, suggesting its high reusability potential.
