Abstract :
Introduction: In the present study, Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with bis](3,4-salicylic imino)benzophenimine ligand is synthesized by co-precipitation method. In the next step, the proposed nano adsorbent is applied as an effective and powerful adsorbent to remove nickel ions from aqueous solutions. Finally, the proposed nanoadsorbent are characterized and the key parameters of the adsorption process are optimized.
Methods: Investigation and evaluation of particle size, morphology and structural characteristics are performed using transmission and scanning electron microscope analyses, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, X-ray energy diffraction and X-ray diffraction.
Findings: Afterwards, the optimization of the effective parameters of the adsorption process such as the adsorbent dose, the contact time with the target ion and the pH are carried out in 50 ml of nickel ion solution (initial concentration 0.35 mmol/L) at ambient temperature. According to the result, that the optimum performance of the magnetic adsorbent is obtained about 93% of nickel ions at pH 7 with the presence of 16 mg of adsorbent and a contact time of 22 min. Moreover, the synthetic adsorbent has the ability to be used in successive absorption-absorption cycles for 6 times without a serious decrease in absorption activity. The proposed nanoadsorbent possesses advantage including excellent coordination with metal ions, high surface-to-volume ratio, surface heteroatomic groups and creation of active absorption sites, easy synthesis, use of magnetic separation technique as a suitable and effective solution, use of small amounts of adsorbent, high adsorption capacit.
