Abstract :

In this study, adsorption of Zn2+ and Cd2+ on the synthesised (5- Amino-2-benzotriazd-2-yl-phenol) resin for preconcentration of mentioned ions, on both batch and column methods were studied. The optimum pH for adsorption of the metal ions was 6.5 and the recovery was above 80%. The effect of temperature on adsorption was investigated. The results showed that the best adsorption was at 25 ͦC and concentration of 100 mg/L. Hence with increasing concentration the adsorption of mentioned ions increased by this resin. The best adsorption was at room temperature, thereby increasing stability of resin with lowest cost. In the column method, the flow rate of the solution passing through the column for maximum adsorption of metal ions was optimized and 0.5 M nitric acid was used as the eluting solvent. The concentrations of metal ions were detected using atomic absorption spectroscopy. With batch method, Zn2+ and Cd2+ concentrations in water sample were 0.000915 mg/L and lower than sensitivity detection limit of the instrument, respectively. Thereafter, for determination of zinc and cadmium ions in Persian Gulf sea water samples, preconcentration process with 100 and 10 times concentration factor was performed, respectively.
