Abstract

The ion-exchange kinetics of Fe2+ cations in aqueous solution with H+ from alginic acid have been analyzed in this study as a function of contact time lengths using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry analysis. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated using pseudo 1st or 2nd order models, and a consistent ion-exchange mechanism is suggested. Furthermore, an insight into the calcination of Fe2+ ion-exchanged alginic acid process has been obtained by using simultaneous thermo-gravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature X-ray diffraction.
