Removal of p-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solution through adsorption on antimony, cadmium, and zirconium ferrocyanides.
Adsorptive interaction of p-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol in the concentration range 10(-4)-10(-5) M and at room temperature (30+/-1 degrees C) was studied with antimony, cadmium, and zirconium ferrocyanides. The interaction followed the Langmuir type of adsorption in general. The p-nitrophenol was found to have greater affinity for the antimony, cadmium, and zirconium ferrocyanides then the p-aminophenol.
