Adsorption properties of amine modified lignin-hydrogel composite for uranyl ions: Theoretical and experimental insights
Abstract
A new modified material was synthesized and characterized as ethylene diamine modified (EA) Polyacrylamide (PAA)-Lignin (L). The adsorption features of EA modified PAA-L were studied for uranyl ions. The characterization experiments were evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopic techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and PZC analysis. Adsorption of UO22+ ions as a function of concentration, pH, temperature, and time of adsorption were studied. The adsorption phenomenon of UO22+ ions onto PAA-L-EA from aqueous medium was successfully evaluated by various equilibrium models such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR). The (Qe) maximum adsorption capacity values for Langmuir model was calculated as 0.792 kg mol−1 by using experimental data. The constant values of thermodynamic parameters such as (ΔG°), (ΔH°) and (ΔS°) were calculated and it has observed that …
