Abstract: | In this present study, an organic-inorganic hybrid membrane was prepared by embedding yttrium(III) into chitosan matrix for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Several techniques, including fourier infrared spectrum (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) are employed to characterize the properties of the membrane. The mechanical properties of the membrane were also examined. The chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) containing yttrium(III) (CY) membrane was experimentally used for the removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution under the optimized conditions. The results showed that the adsorption capacity for the removal of Cr(VI) ions was enhanced when yttrium(III) was introduced. The adsorption data from the experiment were fit well by Langmuir isotherm. Based on Langmuir model, q m was calculated to be 38.48 mg g?1. Kinetic study results indicated that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetics. |
