Abstract
The adsorption of cobalt (II) by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) modified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was studied. The modified halloysite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry (TG). In addition, a batch method was used to study the adsorption behavior and the mechanism of removal Co (II) by modified HNTs; the effective factors influencing the adsorption process including adsorbent concentration, contact time, initial pH, temperature and the initial concentration of Co (II) have been investigated. The results showed that the APTS was successfully grafted on the HNTs surface. The modified HNTs exhibited rapid adsorption speed, which reached the adsorption equilibrium within 30 min. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent increased significantly with the increase of pH. The adsorption data of Co (II) on the modified HNTs are well consistent with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
