Abstract
Effect of water chemistry on Sr(II) adsorption onto carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was investigated by batch and modeling techniques. The characterization results showed that CNFs comprised a variety of functional groups such as –OH and –COOH groups. No effect of ionic strength indicated that Sr(II) adsorption onto CNFs was the inner-sphere surface complexation. The maximum adsorption capacity of CNFs was 58.72 mg/g at pH 4.5 and 293 K. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that Sr(II) adsorption was an endothermic and spontaneous processes. Diffuse layer model can give an excellent fits with SOSr+ and (SO)2Sr(OH) 2−2 inner-sphere surface complexes.
