The hydrazide derivative of poly methylacrylate (PMA) was synthesized and used for removal of cupric ions (Cu²⁺) as an adsorbent from industrial effluent. Dimethylsulfoxide was used to chemically activate the synthesized PMA. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to examine the effects of initial concentration of Cu²⁺ ion, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and stirring rate on the adsorption of Cu²⁺ from the wastewater. It was found via isotherm studies that the Langmuir isotherm formulation best described the process of adsorption. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption process had a pseudo-first-order reaction model. Chemically activated PMA is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to remove metal ions from effluent streams.

Abstract

The hydrazide derivative of poly methylacrylate (PMA) was synthesized and used for removal of cupric ions (Cu²⁺) as an adsorbent from industrial effluent. Dimethylsulfoxide was used to chemically activate the synthesized PMA. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to examine the effects of initial concentration of Cu²⁺ ion, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and stirring rate on the adsorption of Cu²⁺ from the wastewater. It was found via isotherm studies that the Langmuir isotherm formulation best described the process of adsorption. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption process had a pseudo-first-order reaction model. Chemically activated PMA is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to remove metal ions from effluent streams.
