ABSTRACT
H2O2-modified graphite schist (GS) and sodium alginate (SA) interface was loaded by Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) to prepare a magnetic biosorbent that was employed in removing Mn(VII) from solutions. The prepared GS/SA/MNPs adsorbent was investigated using a variety of techniques, including elemental mapping, TEM, XPS, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, and zeta potential. An experimental study supported by statistical physics calculations was carried out to obtain a new outline of the Mn(VII) uptake mechanism. The classical Freundlich and the statistical physical double-layer models adequately described the Mn(VII) uptake process at pH 3.0 and a temperature of 25-55 °C. The removed number of Mn ions (such as Mn+7 and Mn+2) per GS/SA/MNPs active site ranged from 0.70 to 0.84, indicating a mixed adsorption orientation driven by surface complexation and attraction forces mechanisms. The adsorption energies (∆E) calculated by the double-layer model ranged from 18.79 to 24.94 kJ/mol, suggesting that the interaction between Mn(VII) and GS/SA/MNPs was controlled by physical forces. Increasing the adsorption capacity at saturation (Qsat) from 333.14 to 369.52 mg/g with temperature proposed an endothermic capture process. Thermodynamic functions clarified the viability and spontaneity of Mn(VII) uptake on the GS/SA/MNPs adsorbent.
