Abstract

Carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were chemically modified with 3-aminopyrazole (MWCNTs-f) and applied as an efficient adsorbent to mercury and arsenic adsorption from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, EDX, FE-SEM, TGA, and BET. The effects of pH, adsorbent dose, and initial ions concentration on the adsorption efficiency and the optimum conditions were investigated by central composite design. The optimum conditions were obtained at pH 7.6–7.9, adsorbent dose 20 mg, and initial ions concentration 20 ppm. So the maximum adsorption efficiencies in these conditions were 80.5 and 72.4% for the removal of Hg(II) and As(III) by MWCNTs-f, respectively. The quadratic model was used for the analysis of variance and indicated that adsorption of metal ions strongly depends on pH. Also, the pseudo-second-order model has been achieved from the adsorption kinetic studies. Furthermore, the experimental data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacities obtained were 112 and 133 mg g−1 for the adsorption of Hg(II) and As(III) by MWCNTs-f, respectively. Moreover, a thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption reactions were spontaneous and endothermic with the increase in randomness. In addition, a desorption study showed the favorable regeneration ability of MWCNTs-f even after three adsorption–desorption cycles. Therefore, the MWCNTs-f adsorbent has good potential for the removal of Hg(II) and As(III) pollutants from aqueous solutions.
