Abstract

The object of this study is granular adsorbents based on kaolinite and zero-valent iron. The ceramic mass for their preparation contained polyvinyl alcohol as a powder-forming additive. It was established that its addition in quantities of 1.8–3.3 % practically does not change the porosity of the granules but increases their strength. X-ray phase and chemical analyzes confirmed the presence of a layer of zero-valent iron on the surface of the granules. The structural and sorption characteristics of sorption materials have been studied and the calculations of the main parameters of their porous structure were carried out. It is shown that when modifying granules with zero-valent iron, there is a decrease in the specific surface area and micropores volume for samples without a powder-forming additive by almost 2 times compared to the original granules. Moreover, these values almost do not change for samples obtained with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol. It was found that the application of the reaction layer to the granules leads to a significant increase in their sorption capacity with respect to heavy metal ions Cu(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cr(VI). It has been shown that the resulting adsorbents can be used for wastewater treatment containing a mixture of these toxicants. It was found that the values of maximum sorption on modified samples are 10–20 times higher than those for the original granules. A feature of the obtained adsorbents is the ability to simultaneously remove metal ions, both in the form of cations and anions. A significant increase in the sorption values of Cr(VI) anionic forms, which are difficult to remove from water by natural ion exchangers, has been established. It has been shown that granules based on kaolinite and zero-valent iron are effective adsorbents for water purification from heavy metal ions. The resulting materials can be used for wastewater treatment of electroplating industries and hydrometallurgical industry
