Removal of Heavy Metal Cations (Copper, Lead, Zinc) from Water Runoff by Calcium Silicate Hydrate: Effect of the Co-Ion and Competition of Ions in Ternary Mixtures
Résumé
The sorption behavior of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) with respect to lead, copper and zinc was studied to consider its application to remove metal from water runoff. A series of kinetics of removal and isotherms were undertaken with single metal and mixture solutions. The sorption occurred by ion exchange with calcium. Sorption kinetics were modelled using pseudo-second order model. The weight capacities of CSH were lead > copper >> zinc when studied separately. The co-ion associated to the metal ion is of importance on the removal capacities. Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm model matched experimental data in the case of single metal solutions. A competition was evidenced in mixture; zinc was the most impacted
