Abstract

The sorption of some nonferrous metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb) from aqueous solutions by granular sorbents based on activated carbon BAU-A has been studied. The surface modification of BAU-A has been conducted by exposing it to a nitrating atmosphere (NOx–air or HNO3 (vapors)–air) at a temperature of 90–110°C for 4 h and impregnating it with 10 wt % of triethanolamine (TEA), tetraethylenediamine (TEDA), or carbamide (CH4N2O). It has been found that modification of BAU-A leads to a decrease in the sorption capacity of this material with respect to Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ and an increase with respect to Pb2+.
