Temperature effect on phosphate sorption by iron hydroxide.

The ion exchange sorption of phosphate on Fe(OH)3 is studied as a function of temperature (25-55 degrees C) and concentration (1.49-3.23 mmol l(-1)). The mechanism of sorption is observed to be the exchange of OH- anions from the adsorbent surface by those of H2PO4- and HPO4(2-) from the aqueous solution. An equation developed in the Langmuir formalism is used to explain the ion exchange sorption of phosphate on Fe(OH)3. The isosteric heat of sorption illustrates that the uptake of phosphate on Fe(OH)3 takes place through an anion exchange process, involving both the phosphate anions H2PO4- and HPO4(2-). Further, at higher temperature the solid prefers the HPO4(2-) anions forming a binuclear bridging complex.

Phosphate/sulphate exchange studies on Amberlite IRA-400.

The sorption behaviour of phosphate on strong basic anion exchanger, Amberlite IRA-400 (SO4(2-) form) is studied as a function of pH (3-11) at two different initial concentration ranges (0.161 - 0.807 mmol l(-1), 3.874 - 6.134 mmol l(-1)) at 25 degrees C. The stiochiometry of the exchange reactions is observed to be dependent upon concentration and pH of the solutions. It is suggested that the sorption of phosphate takes place initially as PO4(3-) followed by HPO4(2-)/H2PO4(-). The data obtained is explained with the help of a modified Langmuir and mass law action equations.

Selective removal of Pb2+ by AlPO4.

Aluminium(III) phosphate was observed to have a very high selectivity towards Pb2+ ions. Under similar conditions, the sorption capacities of the exchanger were observed to follow the order: Pb2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+ > Co2+. The potentiometric titration data were used to determine the deprotonation constants (pKa) of AlPO4, which were dependent upon the temperature and nature of the metal cations present in the aqueous phase. Different physical methods i.e. FTIR, EPM and the wet chemical analyses were used to investigate the uptake mechanism of Pb2+ by the solid, which showed that no new solid phases were present in the solid residue after sorption of Pb2+ at pH 5. The exchange between protons from the surfaceand Pb2+ from solutions was found to be responsible for Pb2+ sorption by aluminum(III) phosphate.

The sorption of divalent metal ions on AlPO4.

The sorption of Cu(2+), Pb(2+), Ni(2+), and Cd(2+) ions on the aluminum(III) phosphate was observed to increase with increases in the concentration, temperature, and pH of the system. The apparent dissociation (pK(a)), binding (pK(b)) and exchange (pK(ex)) constants of aluminum(III) phosphate were evaluated and found to be dependent upon the temperature and nature of the metal cations. The values of the dissociation constants (pK(a)) followed the order Pb(2+)<Cu(2+)<Cd(2+)<Ni(2+)<K(+), opposite to the values of the binding constants and selectivity shown by the solid. Ion exchange between protons from the surface and metal cations from aqueous solution was found to be responsible for the metal ions sorption by AlPO(4). The values of the dissociation (pK(a)) and exchange (pK(ex)) constants were used to estimate the corresponding apparent thermodynamic parameters (DeltaH(o)(diss), DeltaS(o)(diss) and DeltaH(o)(exch), DeltaS(o)(exch)). The values of DeltaH(o)(diss) and DeltaH(o)(exch) were found to be positive, which showed that both the dissociation and exchange processes were endothermic in nature. The DeltaS(o)(diss) and DeltaS(o)(exch) were also found to be positive, which showed that both the deprotonation and exchange processes on the AlPO(4) were entropy driven and spontaneous.

Temperature Effect on the Surface Charge Properties of gamma-Al2O3.

A comprehensive study of the surface properties of the gamma-Al2O3 in KNO3 as a function of temperature was undertaken potentiometrically. Surface charge, ionization and complexation constants, and PZC were calculated from the potentiometric titration data in the temperature range 293-333 K. A difference between the PZC and CIP was observed as a result of the adsorption of NO- 3 ions. A simple graphical procedure based on the mass action law was used to determine the number of surface sites and equilibrium constants. Thermodynamic parameters, which showed a decrease in the role of nitrate NO- 3 ion in the charging mechanism of gamma-Al2O3, were also evaluated, whereas that of K+ ion increased with the increase in temperature.
