Abstract:
      In order to compare the discrepancies between Cr(Ⅵ) and Cd2+ adsorption on bentonite modified by a mixture of amphoteric modifier, dodecyldimethyl betaine(BS-12), and cationic modifier, Dodecyltrimethyl ammonium Bromide(DTAB), batch method was used to study the influence of temperature, ionic strength, pH on discrepancies of adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cd2+ on different modified bentonites, and the thermodynamic properties were studied also. The results showed that:The Langmuir model was suited for adsorption isotherms of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cd2+ on different samples. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅵ) was ordered by BS+150DT(BS-12+150% CEC DTAB)> BS+100DT > BS+50DT > BS+25DT > BS > CK(unmodified bentonite) and BS+150DT treatment had the maximum adsorption capacity(qm) 205.67 mmol·kg-1. On the contrary, the sequence of equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cd2+ was BS > CK > BS+25DT > BS+50DT > BS+100DT > BS+150DT, and 100BS(100% CEC BS-12) had maximum Cd2+ adsorption 232.38 mmol·kg-1. In the range of 10℃ to 40℃, the adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅵ) on CK and BS modified bentonites were increased with increased temperature, while Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption on BS-DT bentonites was a spontaneous process with a decrease in enthalpy and an increase in entropy. The Cd2+ adsorption on different samples was a spontaneous process with an increase in enthalpy and an increase in entropy. With an increase of pH, the adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅵ) decreased gradually, while the adsorption capacity of Cd2+ increased gradually. High ionic strength was not conducive to adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cd2+. Charge type of BS-DT complex modified bentonite was the crucial factor to difference between Cr(Ⅵ) and Cd2+ adsorption.
