    Abstract


    This study aimed to synthesize a hybrid material of non-valent iron nanoparticles and bentonite with the purpose to promote the pre-eminence of both materials. Moreover, this combination could form a new material that can preserve non-valent iron nanoparticles in normal conditions. Nano zero-valent iron/Bentonite composite material (B-nZVI) was synthesized via liquid-phase reduction (using NaBH4). The surface morphology and structure of the materials were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The effect of B-nZVI on nitrobenzene removal was studied at different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100ppm), contact time (30, 60, 90; 120 and 180m), ratio of mass of material in 100mL of sample solution (0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 ml of sample solution) and pH (pH = 3, 5, 7 and 9). The results indicated that B-nZVI is effective in the removal of nitrobenzene from aqueous solution, where removal efficiency of 99% of nitrobenzene was achieved after 120 m for initial nitrobenzene concentration 50ppm, the ratio of 0.5 g/100ml solution, pH = 7 and pH = 9, at room temperature. Kinetic studies showed that the removal of nitrobenzene by B-nZVI correlated well with the pseudo-first-order model. The removal is an endothermic adsorption process, and the experimental data fitted well the Langmuir isotherm with Qmax being 156.25 mg.g-1for B-nZVI.
