NO3- sorption kinetics on smectite-illite
Abstract
In the present research work, the kinetics of nitrate sorption was evaluated at room temperature in aqueous NaNO3 solutions with NO3- concentrations of 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/L with pH values of 6, 7, and 8, using smectite-illite purified from a rhyolitic tuff located in the municipality of Epazoyucan, Hidalgo, with a relative abundance of 36.52% smectite, 8.69% illite, 39.13% quartz and 15.65% sodium plagioclase, without considering the amorphous or minority phases not detected by X-ray diffraction. The kinetic curves determined experimentally indicate a greater sorption of NO3- in the highest concentration solutions (200 mg/L of NO3-), particularly at pH values of seven, with the maximum amount of NO3- retained being 0.0903 meq/g (5.5995mg/g). Although the pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models were used, it is considered that the pseudo second order kinetics have a better correlation with the experimental data.
