Abstract

Chitosan–clinoptilolite composite was prepared and tested for removing radiocobalt from aqueous solution. The composite was characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The sorption of Co(II) on chitosan–clinoptilolite composite was pH-dependent and ionic strength-independent. The kinetic sorption was fitted well by a pseudo-second-order rate equation. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH 0, ΔS 0, ΔG 0) revealed that the sorption of Co(II) on chitosan–clinoptilolite composite was spontaneous and endothermic. The study showed that chitosan–clinoptilolite composite had excellent potential for the treatment of wastewater containing radiocobalt.
