Abstract

Excess pentavalent vanadium(v) has severely degraded water quality and posed a huge threat to human health over the past several decades. Hence, it’s urgent and significant to explore a novel adsorbent which is low cost and efficient to treat vanadium pollution. In this work, a novel iron-manganese oxide@diatomite (MnFe2O4@DE) adsorbent with superior removal performance for simulated vanadium(v) wastewater was synthesised via a facile hydrothermal method. The as-prepared MnFe2O4@DE composite was characterised through different characterisation techniques. The results indicated that the MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were uniformly deposited on the surface of diatomite, resulting in a larger specific surface area and pore volume of the composite. In addition, the MnFe2O4@DE adsorbent exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for vanadium(v) (18.37 mg g−1 ± 0.5 %), which was up to around 13.24 and 1.33 times as much as that of pure diatomite and MnFe2O4, respectively. This is mainly attributed to the enhanced specific surface area and pore volume. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrated vanadium(v) could be reduced to low valence vanadium with low toxicity by the MnFe2O4@DE composite which could exist as VO2+ and VO+ cations in solution. The adsorption process was better fitted with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, which is spontaneous and endothermic. Overall, the novel MnFe2O4@DE composite could be applied as a promising adsorbent in addressing vanadium pollution issues due to its properties of low cost, effectiveness, and environmental friendliness.
