Application of three dimensional porous aerogels as adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from water/wastewater: A review study

Hasanpour, Maryam, Hatami, Mohammad·2020·Advances in Colloid and Interface Science

Abstract

Nowadays, by rapid development of economies and industries, water contamination through the heavy metal ions (toxic, non-toxic and radioactive) is a great concern and an important environmental problem. Currently, numerous techniques such as chemical precipitation, coagulation, ion-exchange, filtration, reverse osmosis, biological treatment and physical adsorption are presented by researchers for removing and recycling heavy metal ions from wastewater. Among these methods, adsorption approach is one of the most efficient techniques for the elimination of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. There are a number of low cost absorbent such as agricultural and industrial solid waste such as lingo-cellulosic materials, wheat bran, peanut shell, moss peat, fly ash, bagasse, tree fern, gram husk, nanostructures (such as TiO2, SiO2, SnO2, ZnO, etc.), 3D porous structures (aerogels), etc. which have been developed and tested to efficient removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater. In this study, a critical review of the applications of aerogels in water and sewage purifications is performed. For this reason, different kinds of aerogel namely organic, inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid aerogels are investigated. It is concluded that the most applicable aerogels used in these studies are graphene-based aerogels due to more porous structure as well as simplification of their modification. Also, in this review paper, for the first time we summarized and highlighted the recent literature information about heavy metal ions and theirs removal methods from aqueous pollutants and wastewater/water, adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics models by different type of three dimensional (3D) porous structure. In additional, in this review article, the influence of various parameters such as pH solution, temperature, initial concentration of heavy metal ions, composition, contact time, coexisting ions and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption process of heavy metal ions were investigated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
