Alumina nanoparticles were developed by the sol-gel method and were used for the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM and XRD. Nanoparticles of alumina were then used for removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions of nickel. The nanosize of the adsorbent was confirmed by TEM and XRD. Removal (%) was found lobe dependent on the initial concentration of nickel, and maximum removal was found to be 96.6% at 25 mg/L Ni(II). The removal increased from 99 to 99.6% by decreasing the initial concentration from 75 to 25 mg/L. Equilibrium time wits found to be 120 min. As expected, higher removal wits obtained at higher adsorbent dose. The removal was governed by first-order kinetics, and the value of the rate constant of adsorption was found to be 1.83 x 10(-2) min(-1) at 25 mg/L and 25 degrees C. The removal was found to be pH dependent, and maximum removal was found to be at pH 8.0. The adsorption process was endothermic in nature. The experimental data fit well the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Constants of the two isotherm equations were determined. Thermodynamic studies for the present process were performed by determining the values of Delta G degrees, Delta H degrees, and Delta S degrees at different temperatures.
