Abstract

The simultaneous removal of Methyl orange (MO) and Cd2+ (mainly from organo-metallic dyes) onto magnesium hydroxide modified clinoptilolite (MHMC) was described and compared to a single adsorbate situation. The adsorption performance was studied by batch experiments. The adsorption mechanism of MO and Cd2+ on MHMC was investigated. Langmuir and Dubinin-Raduskevich (D-R) isotherm successfully predicted the adsorption of MO and Cd2+ in single and binary systems. Maximum adsorption capacity calculated from Langmuir isotherm equation in single solution for MO and Cd2+ was 0.305 and 0.282mmol/g, respectively. In a binary system of MO/Cd2+, the adsorption capacity for both MO and Cd2+ was higher than in single solutions. The results indicated that the adsorption system of MO/Cd2+ presented a synergistic effect, not competitive adsorption, which suggested that MHMC can be used as an adsorbent for removal of dyes and heavy metal in the multi-solute system.
