Abstract

In this study, magnetic natural zeolite (ZTM) was prepared using the coprecipitation method and dithizone was then immobilized on its surface in less toxic medium of alkaline to yield dithizone-immobilized magnetic zeolite (ZTM-Dtz). The synthesized ZTM-Dtz was characterized by FTIR and XRD, indicating that dithizone was successfully immobilized on the surface of ZTM. Vibrating sample magnetometer measurements showed superparamagnetic properties of either ZTM or ZTM-Dtz with magnetization values of 7.35 and 11.49 emu g−1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of Pb(II) on both adsorbents followed a pseudo-second-order and their adsorption isotherms were properly described by the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacity of ZTM and ZTM-Dtz were 6.94 and 38.46 mg g−1, respectively, suggesting that dithizone immobilization enhanced the adsorbent capacity more than 5 times. The interaction mechanism between Pb(II) metal ion and ZTM was dominated by ion exchange, whereas that of ZTM-Dtz was mostly hydrogen bonds and complexation. The synthesized material is promising to be developed for the adsorption of heavy metal ions such as Pb(II) because it provides a high adsorption capacity and the adsorbents can be easily separated magnetically after application.

Abstract

Water pollution from heavy metal contamination is a global issue; finding low-cost and sustainable solutions is challenging. Among various methods, biomass adsorption is a practical approach for treating heavy metal contamination in agricultural water. This study explored the use of betel nut peel as a biosorbent to remove Mg(II), Ca(II), and Fe(III) ions from agricultural water. The adsorbent contained active groups like −OH, C=O, and C=C, indicating cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose compounds. Mature betel nut peels showed higher adsorption capacities than immature ones due to their larger surface area and more active sites. The optimal adsorption occurred at an initial adsorbate concentration of 100 mg L−1 for 1 h, with 5 mg of biosorbent. The biosorbent followed the Langmuir isotherm and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.99), indicating chemisorption. When applied to agricultural water from South Sumatra, the biosorbent removed up to 90% of Fe(III) ions. These findings suggest that betel nut peel powder has strong potential as a biosorbent for heavy metals, with promising applications in water treatment and environmental remediation. It also shows potential as a biofertilizer, particularly for soils rich in Fe(III).
