文摘The current article covers the production of chitosan(CS)from shells of shrimp waste and its utilization in the preparation of eco-friendly imprinting and non-imprinting composites with Ulva lactuca algae(Alg).These bio-composites namely(Imp-Alg-25wt%CS)and(NImp-Alg-25wt%CS)were used for removal of Cd(II)ions.Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR)spectra,scanning electron microscope(SEM)equipped with electron dispersive X-ray(EDX),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and elemental analysis measurements were performed to characterize these bio-composites sorbents.The highest adsorption of these sorbents towards Cd(II)ions was determined as a function of solutions pH,contact time,Cd(II)ion concentration,beads dose,and temperature.The equilibrium experimental data were treated using various mathematical isotherm and kinetic models to approve the maximum bio-sorption capacities of NImp-Alg-25wt%CS and Imp-Alg-25wt%CS(in mg/g).The results exhibited that Imp-Alg-25wt%CS gave higher removal capacity than NImp-Alg-25wt%CS at the same optimum parameters.Pseudo-2nd order dynamic and Langmuir isotherm models were well described in these biosorption processes.Thermodynamically,the removal behavior of Cd(II)using both bio-composites was spontaneous at room temperature.The reusability of the sorbents,NImp-Alg-25wt%CS and Imp-Alg-25wt%CS,showed three cycles.In addition,comparative study was also conducted for Cd(II)removal onto some reported sorbents.
