Abstract: | In this study, iron functional groups-impregnated activated carbon (IIAC) composite was prepared as a novel adsorbent for vanadium separation. Adsorption experiments were performed in batch and column systems, and the effects of various operating parameters, such as solution pH, initial concentration, contact time, and temperature, were evaluated. The kinetic data confirmed the validity of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for vanadium adsorption on IIAC. The sorption equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. The results showed that IIAC has a vanadium ions adsorption capacity of 313 mg g?1. The activation and thermodynamic parameters were determined using kinetics and equilibrium data. The experimental data of the column adsorption process were fitted by Thomas and BDST models. The results showed that Thomas model can well describe the breakthrough curves. The column experiments showed that IIAC composite has good adsorption performance for vanadium ions adsorption. |
