Abstract

A nanostructured binary metal oxide adsorbent, from chloride salts of manganese and iron, was synthesized by co-precipitation method and applied in sequestration of chromate ions from simulated industrial wastewater. The prepared adsorbent was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BET analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Batch, kinetic and equilibrium experiments were performed to investigate the adsorption parameters. The pseudo second order kinetic \((R^{2} \ge 0.9965)\) and Langmuir equilibrium isotherm \((R^{2} \ge 0.9994)\) models showed good fits to the experimental adsorption data. Thermodynamic parameters (\(\Delta G^{^\circ }\), \(\Delta H^{^\circ }\) and \(\Delta S^{^\circ }\)) showed that the adsorption is spontaneous, exothermic and decreases randomness at the solid/liquid interface.
