Abstract
- The acidic polysaccharide ulvan extracted from the cell wall of the green algae Ulva is a good ligand for metal ions. Therefore, the adsorption properties of the U. clathrata derived ulvan toward Ca(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), and Cr(III) were investigated in this study. The results demonstrate that ulvan exhibited good metal ion adsorption capacity at pH 7 and 50 °C. These adsorption processes can largely be explained by the Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The order of the adsorption capacity and affinity is as follows: Cr(III) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) ≈ Co(II) > Ca(II) and Cr(III) > Zn(II) > Co(II) ≈ Cu(II) > Ca(II). Furthermore, structural characterization revealed that the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups were the main functional groups involved in metal ion binding. Unlike the divalent metal ions, Cr(III) can trigger crosslinking of the ulvan chains, and its adsorption capacity was approximately 4.0 mmol/g.
