Abstract

A novel magnetic bioadsorbent based on jute stick powder (MB-JSP) was synthesized with Fe2+ and Fe3+ solutions by in situ co-precipitation technique and applied for the elimination of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The adsorption capability of fresh jute stick powder (JSP) was also studied to compare with the magnetic bioadsorbent (MB-JSP). The characteristics of these bio-adsorbents were measured individually. The magnetic saturation of MB-JSP touched 14.25 emu/g which was sufficient for the separation of MB-JSP from aqueous solution. This magnetic bioadsorbent worked perfectly within a substantial pH range of 1–2. The Cr (VI) removal by MB-JSP was seamlessly supported by the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.997–0.999) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.994–0.995). The maximum capacity of Cr(VI) adsorption by MB-JSP and JSP were 47.125 and 30.422 mg/g, respectively at 303.15 K by Langmuir isotherm model. The regeneration experiment specified its merit of regeneration and firmness with the recovery efficiency of 90.17% and 80.23% for MB-JSP and JSP, respectively. It was observed by considering the results that the removal Cr(VI) ions was accomplished via the attraction between the opposite charges of different functional groups present on the adsorbents surface and ion exchange. Moreover, the process of removal was very effective and a rapid separation from aqueous solution was achieved.
