چکیده
Amorphous silica that was extracted from rice husk was used to synthesize the magMCM-41 mesoporous silica. This was then functionalized by the APTMS group in order to produce NH2-magMCM-41 as a novel and low–cost adsorbent. The XRD, VSM, N2 adsorption–desorption, FT–IR, TGA, SEM and TEM analyses were utilized to characterize the produced materials. In order to optimize the adsorption of the Pb(II) ions, the RSM (response surface methodology) was applied by using the synthesized adsorbent in aqueous solutions. A rotatable CCD (central composite design) was adopted to carry out the experiments and RSM was used to analyze them. Three independent factors namely, initial solution pH (3–7), adsorbent dosage (0.1–2 g L−1), and initial Pb(II) concentration (15–150 mg L−1) were used to investigate the removal procedure. According to the obtained results, the initial solution pH of 5.22, adsorbent dosage of 0.1 g L−1, and initial Pb(II) concentration of 150 mg L−1 were considered as the optimum conditions with 64.32% removal of Pb(II) and an adsorption capacity of 540.64 mg g−1. The maximum removal efficiency of Pb(II) ions was found to be 96.76%. The Sips isotherm model represents a better correlation with equilibrium data. It was reported by the kinetic study that data taken from the experiments fitted better to the pseudo–second–order model compared to the pseudo–first–order and intraparticle diffusion models. Finally, according to the thermodynamic study, the removal process strongly depends on temperature, which indicates an exothermic behavior and spontaneous nature of the adsorption.
