    • Effective removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions using a hybrid composite of fuller's earth, aluminum silicate and chitosan
    Authors: Heba, Kandil; Shaimaa T., El-Wakeel;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In this study, a highly effective hybrid adsorbent composite based on low-cost fuller’s earth (FE), aluminum silicate (AS) and chitosan (CS) was prepared using a facile method. The prepared composite was applied to adsorb lead (Pb2+) and copper (Cu2+) ions from aqueous solutions. Several analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the composite. The adsorption efficiency of the prepared composite was investigated at different operating conditions. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm/kinetic models and adsorption thermodynamics of the composite were examined.
