Abstract:

2,2'-Diaminodiethylamine(DETA) covalently modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs-DETA) were synthesized and used for the adsorption of Au(Ⅲ) and Pd(Ⅱ). The experimental parameters affecting the adsorption capacities were studied and optimized. The highest elution ratios were determined as 94.48% for Au(Ⅲ) and 89.06% for Pd(Ⅱ) using 1.0 mol/L thiourea-hydrochloric acid solution as the eluent. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the maximum adsorption capacities for Au(Ⅲ) and Pd(Ⅱ) were 50.45 and 25.68 mg/g, respectively. Langmuir isotherm model agreed well with the equili-brium experimental data of Au(Ⅲ) while Freundlich isotherm model agreed with those of Pd(Ⅱ). Adsorption kinetics of Au(Ⅲ) and Pd(Ⅱ) could be well described by the pseudo-second-order model.
