Adsorption Capacity of Silica SBA-15 and Titanosilicate ETS-10 toward Indium Ions
Indium is an extremely important element for industry that is distributed in the Earth’s crust at very low concentrations. The recovery of indium by silica SBA-15 and titanosilicate ETS-10 was investigated at different pH levels, temperatures, times of contact and indium concentrations. A maximum re...

Indium is an extremely important element for industry that is distributed in the Earth’s crust at very low concentrations. The recovery of indium by silica SBA-15 and titanosilicate ETS-10 was investigated at different pH levels, temperatures, times of contact and indium concentrations. A maximum removal of indium by ETS-10 was achieved at pH 3.0, while by SBA-15 it was within the pH range of 5.0–6.0. By studying kinetics, the applicability of the Elovich model for the description of indium adsorption on silica SBA-15 was shown, while its sorption on titanosilicate ETS-10 fitted well with the pseudo-first-order model. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were used to explain the equanimity of the sorption process.
