Abstract
Abstract The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) γ -alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb 2+ , Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal crystal template (CCT) method based on PMMA microspheres. The structure was characterized by means of FTIR spectroscopy and XRD analysis. The three-dimensional structure was examined by scanning electron microscopy, which enabled image analysis that showed significantly low shrinkage (8.77%) after calcination at 800 °C. The influential parameters, including contact time and adsorbent dosage, were investigated in a batch adsorption study. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data were found to be in agreement with the Freundlich isotherm for Pb 2+ removal and the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm for Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ removal. The time-dependent adsorption was best described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Weber-Morris model. High adsorption capacities: 95.39, 23.32 and 25.39 mg/g were obtained for Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ and Ni 2+ removal at 45 °C, respectively. The existence of interconnected macroporous and mesoporous structures of highly ordered γ -alumina enabled a higher adsorption capacity in comparison with literature data for others alumina-based adsorbents.
