ABSTRACT
Glutaraldehyde-cross-linked chitosan (GCC), thiourea derivative of chitosan (TGC) and rubeanic acid derivative of chitosan (RADC) have previously been shown to be very efficient at removing platinum and palladium from single component dilute acidic solutions. This study examines the competitive sorption of these metal anions in bi-component mixtures for GCC, TGC and RADC. Palladium sorption is less sensitive to the presence of platinum than the reverse the maximum sorption capacity decreases less for palladium than for platinum in the presence of the competitor anion (the metals being in their chloro-metal forms). Moreover, the Langmuir-shape of the sorption isotherm for palladium is unaffected (with the usual plateau reached at low residual palladium), while in the case of platinum sorption, the isotherms exhibit a significant decrease of the sorption capacity at high residual platinum concentration which increases with increasing concentrations of palladium. RADC is more selective for palladium over platinum than the other chitosan derivatives. A preliminary study of the competitive sorption kinetics in both batch and fixed bed systems is presented for RADC and confirms the higher affinity of the sorbent for palladium than for platinum.
