Sorption of Zn(II) ions in the presence of methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) on the anion exchangers of various basicity degree
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 6
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the studies of the mechanism of Zn(II) ions sorption from aqueous solutions in the presence of methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) as a complexing agent. The anion exchangers of Lewatit type of various basicity degrees: strongly basic Lewatit MonoPlus M 500, average basic Lewatit MonoPlus MP 64 and weakly basic Lewatit MonoPlus MP 62 were applied. The kinetic parameters of Zn(II)-MGDA complexes sorption were calculated by means of the static method. There were also determined maxima sorption capacities from the Langmuir linear dependence. The FT-IR spectra of the anion exchanger Lewatit MonoPlus M 500 were registered before and after the sorption of Zn(II)-MGDA complexes.

Rhizosphere of metallophytes and its role in bioremediation of heavy metals
Plants that occur on heavy metal contaminated soils are called metallophytes. Some of them, known as hyperaccumulators, are able to accumulate heavy metal ions in their shoots and leaves. Rhizosphere of metallophytes...
