Abstract
The study describes a sorption of metal ions Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ on a synthetic mica clintonite. Synthesis of analogues of clintonite was carried out by using inorganic salts as sources of silicon and aluminum in the hydrothermal method. Alkaline conditions were applied to increase the nucleation rate. Powdered clintonite obtained after mechanical grinding was used for the removal of metal ions from the wastewater. The sorption experiments were done under batch process to measure the concentrations of metal ions. Effects of pH, contact time between sorbent and sorbate solution, amount of sorbent and temperature on the sorption of metal ions were studied. The sorption was shown to increase with the pH of the medium. The optimal conditions for sorption of metal ions on synthetic analogues of clintonite were determined.
