Abstract: | A polymer with characteristics similar to those of humic acids was obtained by synthesis reactions from oxidative polymerization
in an alkaline medium using para-benzoquinone, hydroquinone and 4-aminobenzoic acid as precursors. Samples of natural and synthetic humic acid were used to
examine the adsorption behavior of Cu2+ ions on these substrates. The mathematical models described by Langmuir and Freundlich equations were applied, yielding the
maximum adsorption intensity values K′ (Langmuir), maximum adsorption capacity, b (Langmuir) and the adsorbent adsorption capacity, m (Freundlich). Based on solubility studies, pH 3 was selected for the development of the adsorption experiment. The Cu2+ ion presented a favorable adsorption, with RL (equilibrium parameter) responses in Langmuir isotherms falling within the
desirable ranges. |
