摘要

Abstract

The present research investigated a novel route for the synthesis of nanoparticle zero-valent iron (NZVI) utilizing an aqueous extract of green tea waste as a reductant with ferric chloride. Also

the supported nanoparticle zero-valent iron was synthesized using natural silty clay as a support material (SC-NZVI). The NZVI and SC-NZVI were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

scanning electron microscope (SEM)

X-ray diffraction (XRD)

Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)

and zeta potential (

). The interpretation of the results demonstrated that the polyphenol and other antioxidants in green tea waste can be used as reduction and capping agents in NZVI synthesis

with silty clay an adequate support. Additionally

the experiments were carried out to explore phenol adsorption by NZVI and SC-NZVI. To determine the optimum conditions

the impact of diverse experimental factors (

i.e.

initial pH

adsorbent dose

temperature

and concentration of phenol) was studied. Langmuir

Freundlich

and Tempkin isotherms were used as representatives of adsorption equilibrium. The obtained results indicated th

at the adsorption processes for both NZVI and SC-NZVI well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm model. The appropriateness of pseudo_first_order and pseudo_second_order kinetics was investigated. The experimental kinetics data were good explained by the second-order model. The thermodynamic parameters (Δ

and Δ

) for NZVI and SC-NZVI were determined. The maximum removal rates of phenol at optimum conditions

when adsorbed onto NZVI and SC-NZVI

were found to be 94.8% and 90.1%

respectively.
