    Abstract:
    Nanometer barium-strontium titanate immobilized on silica gel G was successfully prepared by the citrate acid sol-gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). By means of the determination of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), the adsorption behavior of immobilized nanometer-barium strontium titanate for cadmium ion was investigated. The results showed that the nanometer barium-strontium titanate was immobilized on the silica gel G firmly, gaining a new sort of adsorbent. And the cadmium ion studied could be quantitatively retained in the pH value range of 4-7. The adsorption behavior followed a Freundlich adsorption isotherm and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic constants of the adsorption process, such as enthalpy changes (deltaH), Gibbs free energy changes (deltaG) and entropy changes (deltaS), were evaluated. These showed that the adsorption of cadmium ion by immobilized nanometer barium-strontium titanate was endothermic and spontaneous physical process. The cadmium ion adsorbed could be completely eluted using 1 mol x L(-1) HNO3. A new method for the determination of trace cadmium ion in water based on this immobilized nanometer barium-strontium titanate preconcentration and FAAS determination was proposed. The method has been applied to the determination of trace cadmium ion in tap water and river water with satisfactory results.
