Abstract

The sorption of Zn(II) on γ-alumina was investigated as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength, foreign ions, solid amount, humic acid (HA) and temperature by using batch technique. The results indicated that the sorption of Zn(II) onto γ-alumina was strongly dependent on pH and ionic strength. The sorption of Zn(II) increased slowly with increasing pH at pH 2-5, then increased sharply with pH increasing from 5 to 8.5, and at last maintained a maximum value at pH>8.5. A positive effect of HA on Zn(II) sorption was found at pH<7, whereas a negative effect_x000D_ was observed at pH>7. The thermodynamic data (ΔG°, ΔS°, ΔH°) were calculated from the temperature-dependent sorption isotherms, and the results suggested that the sorption of Zn(II) on γ-alumina was endothermic and spontaneous. The sorption results revealed that the γ-alumina can be as a cost-effective sorbent for pre-concentration of Zn(II) from large volumes of aqueous solutions in environmental pollution cleanup.
