The maximum adsorption capacities of Ni, Cd, Cu, and Pb were calculated as 2.85 ± 0.08, 6.96 ± 0.31, 16.87 ± 1.50, and 26.49 ± 2.04 mg/g, respectively. HNT-BC@Alg has fast sorption kinetics and maximum adsorption capacity within a short contact time (∼2 h). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping exhibited that adsorbed heavy metals co-distributed with Ca, Si, and Al. The reduction of surface area, pore volume, and pore area of HNT-BC@Alg (after sorption of heavy metals) confirms that mesoporous surface (2–18 nm) supports diffusion, infiltration, and interaction. However, a lower range of mesoporous diameter of the adsorbent is more suitable for the adsorption of heavy-metal ions. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models, demonstrating the monolayer formation of heavy-metal ions through both the physical sorption and chemical sorption, including pore filling, ion exchange, and electrostatic interaction.]]> Wed 20 Mar 2024 15:10:50 AEDT ]]> A quantum chemical investigation of Hofmeister effects in non-aqueous solvents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46009 Wed 10 Apr 2024 15:33:13 AEST ]]> Long range electrostatic forces in ionic liquids https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31262 Tue 16 Oct 2018 12:11:54 AEDT ]]> The electrostatic origins of specific ion effects: Quantifying the Hofmeister series for anions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39915 Thu 30 Jun 2022 11:41:32 AEST ]]> The Fabrication and Growth Mechanism of AlCrFeCoNiCu<inf>0.5</inf> HEA Thin Films By Substrate-Biased Cathodic Arc Deposition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50506 Thu 27 Jul 2023 13:10:52 AEST ]]> Surface characterization of heat-treated electrolytic manganese dioxide https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:362 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:37 AEDT ]]> Specific Ion Effects at the Vapor-Formamide Interface: A Reverse Hofmeister Series in Ion Concentration Depth Profiles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51970 Mon 25 Sep 2023 10:03:17 AEST ]]> Lewis strength determines specific-ion effects in aqueous and nonaqueous solvents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36712 Fri 26 Jun 2020 09:26:42 AEST ]]>
