Abstract

Innovative modification of Cu-Al/C composites was synthesized by coprecipitation method at pH 10 and added biochar (BC) and graphite (GF) to form Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF composites. Pristine and composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Thermalgravimetric, and surface area using the BET method. The XRD diffraction and FTIR spectrum of Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF showed that the composite material from LDH, biochar, and graphite was successfully prepared. Modified LDH were surface area higher than the pristine, which obtained 200.90 m2/g and 18.83 m2/g for Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF respectively.  Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF were tested for selectivity on several anionic dyes, it was known that procion red (PR) dye was more easily adsorbed than other anionic dyes. Materials were applied as adsorbents of procion red (PR) dye. The advantages of composites were evaluated by the regeneration process of adsorbent on PR. The result of composite toward PR re-adsorption process showed that Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF had structural stability higher than starting materials until five cycles process. Furthermore, materials were applied as adsorbents of procion red (PR) dye. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 93.458 mg/g for Cu-Al/BC and 49.505 mg/g for Cu-Al/GF. Both innovative modified composites have shown effective adsorbents to the removal of PR from an aqueous solution.

Abstract

The modified ZnAl composites with humic acid (HA/ZnAl composite) were a coprecipitation method used as an adsorbent to remove cadmium(II) in an aqueous solution. The synthesized material was characterized using SEM-EDX, FTIR, and XRD. From the analysis using XRD, there is a widening peak at an angle of 2???? (24°), FTIR analysis there is a new peak at 1000 cm−1 and 1220 cm−1 and SEM analysis show that there is a change in surface morphology due to more aggregated particles. The experimental results on HA/ZnAl composite followed the PSO model, where the cadmium(II) removal process was chemical adsorption. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir model where adsorption occurs in a monolayer and maximum adsorption capacity was obtained 38.76 mg/g higher than pristine. Thermodynamics of the adsorption process of cadmium(II) in an aqueous solution occurred spontaneously where G < 0 at all temperatures and endothermic properties were tested. The performance of the HA/ZnAl composite showed that strong potential as an adsorbent of low cost, high efficiency, easy operation, and good reusability. The cadmium(II) was absorbed on the surface of HA/ZnAl composite by surface complexation and chelating interactions, and surface complexation was the main route of cadmium(II) removal. In addition, HA/ZnAl composite has excellent treatment efficiency in actual aqueous solution.
