Abstract

Introduction: BORON is one of the eight essential micronutrients required for plant growth and development. The optimal concentration range (between deficiency and phytotoxic city) for BORON is narrower than for other plant essential nutrients. Generally, irrigating water containing concentrations of B greater than 1 mg L-1 would be detrimental for most plants. Although, there are a large number of different studies on the removal of B ions from aqueous solutions using different adsorbents, every special adsorbent material requires individual research. Information about the chemical behavior of MUSCOVITE for BORON is very limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate BORON ADSORPTION on MUSCOVITE as a function of solution pH, ionic strength of the background electrolyte, kinds of cation, and initial BORON concentration.Materials and Methods: The MUSCOVITE sample was obtained from a mine near Hamadan city in western Iran. It was powdered in a mortar and sieved before sorption experiment. BORON ADSORPTION experiments were performed in batch systems using 15 mL polyethylene (PE) bottles in 0.01 M Ca (NO3) 2 electrolyte solution at a adsorbent concentrations of 10 g L-1, and at room temperature (23±2 oC). All samples were prepared in duplicate. Blank samples (without adsorbent) were prepared for all experiments. For pH dependent B ADSORPTION, aliquots of B stock solution (1000 mg L−1) were added to obtain initial B concentrations of 5 and 15 mg L-1. The pH of the solutions were adjusted to values of 6.8, 7.7 and 8.8 by adding negligible predetermined volumes of 0.03 MNaOH or 0.03 M HNO3 solution. To study the effects of kinds of cation on BORON ADSORPTION, samples of adsorbent (0.1 g) were mixed with 10 mL background electrolyte solutions (0.01 M Ca (NO3) 2, Mg (NO3) 2 and NaNO3) in 15 mL centrifuge tubes. Then, predetermined amount of B were added to the centrifuge tubes to obtain final concentrations of 5 mg L-1 B. For determination of BORON ADSORPTION isotherm, after 10 ml 0.01 M of Ca (NO3) 2 was transferred into 15 ml centrifuge tubes, 0.1 g sample of MUSCOVITE was added to obtain adsorbent concentration of 10 g L-1. Then a predetermined amount of BORON from the stock solution was added to give final concentration range between 1 and 15 mg B per liter. Initial pH of the solution was adjusted to 8.2 ± 0.1 by predetermined amount of 0.03 M NaOH solution. Suspensions were then shaken for 24h. At the end of equilibrium time, final pH was measured in the suspensions and the tubes were then centrifuged for 10 min at 5000 g. Half of the supernatant volume (5 mL) was pipetted out from each tube and then B in the super natants were measured using the colorimetric Azomethin-H method. The amount of B adsorbed on the adsorbent was calculated as the difference between the B concentration in the blanks and the concentration in the solution after equilibration. Chemical species in the solutions were also predicted using Visual MINTEQ, a chemical SPECIATION program developed to simulate equilibrium processes in aqueous systems.Results and Discussion: The effect of pH on the amount of B retained depended on the initial Bconcentration. The amount of BORON ADSORPTION increased with increasing equilibrium pH. BORON ADSORPTION onmuscovite increased with increasing ionic strength. Greater ADSORPTION was observed in the presence of Mg2+ascompared with Ca2+at the same ionic strength. Calculations using Vminteq showed that the concentration of Mg-borate ion pairs (MgH2BO3+) were higher than the concentration of Ca and Na-borate ion pairs (CaH2BO3+and NaH2BO3o). It thus seems that the much greater loss of B from solution observed in the Mg system was caused by Mg-borate ion pair ADSORPTION. Sorption isotherm of B were well described by the Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips models but the Sips sorption model describes the interaction between B and the mineral better than the Langmuir model. On the basis of n value of Freundlich model, ADSORPTION isotherm of BORON on MUSCOVITE was classified as L-type (n≤ 1). This kind of ADSORPTION behavior could be explained by the high affinity of the adsorbent for the adsorptive at low concentrations, which then decreases as concentration increases. Maximum sorption capacity (qmax) was obtained to be 13.98 mmol kg-1 for MUSCOVITE.Conclusion: The experimental data showed that less than 5% of initial BORON concentration was adsorbed bymuscovite, thus this mineral has not a reasonable ADSORPTION capacity for B.
