چکیده مقاله:

Contamination of water resources with toxic elements is one of the challenges of thetoday's world. In this research, application of Goethite nanoparticles in removingcontamination of arsenic and mercury from synthetic wastewater in a batch mode isinvestigated. For this purpose, the effect of different factors including pH, adsorbent dosage,contact time, and initial concentration on the extent of adsorption of arsenic and mercury bythe Goethite nanoparticles was studied. The maximum extent of arsenic adsorption in thisstudy being ۹۹.۹۵% occurred at pH=۴, adsorbent dose of ۴ g/L, initial concentration of ۱۰mg/L and after ۱۲۰ min from the beginning of the reaction. Examination of the effect of pHon the extent of mercury adsorption showed that the maximum mercury adsorption occuredat pH=۸. Furthermore, the adsorbent dose of ۳ g/L with initial concentration of۱۰ mg/L, following ۳۰ min from the beginning of the reaction caused mercury removalfrom aqueous solution by up to ۷۲.۴۵%. Investigation of the equation of isotherms ofLangmuir and Freundlich adsorption for arsenic and mercury shows better congruence ofthese ions with Langmuir isotherms. The kinetic studies showed that the As and Hgadsorption mechanism was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thisstudy indicates that Goethite nanoparticles could be used for removing the toxic arsenic andmercury ions from wastewater.
