Abstract:

Cr(VI) is toxic to the organic life. Eliminating the pollutant of Cr(VI) in solution has become a hot research field. In this work, the C@K2Ti6O13 hierarchical nanomaterials were prepared by liquid phase deposition combined with hydrothermal treatment, which were constituted by carbon nano spheres and K2Ti6O13 nanobelts. The morphology and phase of the materials were characterized by different methods. The C@K2Ti6O13 hierarchical nanomaterials show high potential as adsorbent to adsorb Cr(VI). Effect of initial pH, adsorption time and ionic strength on Cr(VI) adsorption by C@K2Ti6O13 composite nanostructures were investigated. The elimination rate of Cr(VI) can reach 50% in 1 h. The adsorption kinetics agrees well with the pseudo- second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption thermodynamics accords with the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. It can be expected that the C@K2Ti6O13 hierarchical nanomaterials have great application potential in environmental treatment.
