Adsorption of arsenic(V) into modified lamellar Kenyaite.
The synthetic Kenyaite sample was used for organofunctionalization process with N-propyldiethylenetrimethoxysilane and bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide. The resulted materials were submitted to process of adsorption with arsenic solution at pH 2.0 and 298+/-1K. The adsorption isotherms were adjusted using a modified Langmuir equation with regression non-linear; the net thermal effects obtained from calorimetric titration measurements were adjusted to a modified Langmuir equation. The adsorption process was exothermic (Delta(int)H=-4.08 to -5.94 kJ mol(-1)) accompanied by increase in entropy (Delta(int)S=41.29-62.09 J K(-1)mol(-1)) and Gibbs energy (Delta(int)G=-22.33 to -24.45 kJ mol(-1)). The energetic effect caused by metal cation adsorption was determined through calorimetric titration at the solid-liquid interface and gave a net thermal effect that enabled the calculation of the exothermic values and the equilibrium constant.
