Selective sorption of metal oxoanions from dilute solution by chemicaly modified brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum
Two samples of chemically modified seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum (NS-1 and DS-1) were used for selective removal of metal (W, Mo, V, Ge, and Sb) oxoanions. All experiments were carried out by dynamic column sorption. The effects of pH, the concentration of the accompanying anions in the feed solution, and the effect of the flow rate were studied. Tungstate, molybdate, and vanadate were adsorbed extensively. Sorption of Sb(III) anion was notable but the sorption capacity was very low and the desorption was difficult. Sorption of Ge(IV) oxoanion was negligible. Stability of the NS-1 and DS-1 sorbents was limited by, 20 and 25 sorption cycles, respectively.
