Abstract
The present work reports the feasibility of using sugar-beet pectin gels for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Sugar-beet pectin hydro- and xerogels were tested in the batch biosorption and desorption of cadmium, lead and copper. Pectins were successfully extracted and demethylated from the sugar-beet pulp, an agricultural residue, and gelled in the presence of CaCl2. The stability of the hydro- and xerogel pectin beads made them suitable for biosorption of heavy metals in different conditions. Biosorption data were fitted to the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, obtaining the corresponding parameters. Treated and untreated beads were characterized using FTIR and SEM to determine possible binding mechanisms. The main mechanisms involved were ion exchange with calcium of gel structure and chelation or complexation with carboxyl groups. After biosorption, calcium in the gels was substituted by metal cations reorganizing the structure of the gel matrix in a way that was visible using scanning electron microscopy. HNO3 0.1 M was the best eluant for the reutilization of the gels and recovered all the adsorbed metal unlike HCl and H2SO4. Sugar-beet pectins could be used as an efficient biosorbent for the treatment and recovery of Cu, Pb and Cd from wastewater.
