Abstract

This study investigated the potential use of a biologic polymer Lycopodium clavatum spores (Sporopollenin) for removal of vanadium ions (V(IV)) from aqueous solution. Three Schiff base derivative compounds immobilized sporopollenin were prepared and characterized. Immobilized sporopollenin was characterized via a scanning electron microscope, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis techniques. The sorption capacities of the immobilized surfaces toward V(IV) ions were investigated by batch sorption experiments. V(IV) concentration, initial pH and the temperature effects were studied. The isotherm data of V(IV) ions were correlated reasonably well both Langmuir, Freundlich sorption isotherm. The thermodynamic studies showed that the V(IV) sorption onto immobilized sporopollenin derivatives is a spontaneous, endothermic and a chemical reaction.
