Abstract

The (TiO2-nanoparticles / lignin /epoxy resin) composite as nano adsorbent was synthesized as nano-adsorbent of heavy metals from waste oil by sequential polymerization with presence TiO2 nanoparticles . The chemical structure and surface morphology of The (TiO2-nanoparticles / lignin /epoxy resin) composite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal properties of nanocomposite has been evaluated by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermogravimetric (DTG). Adsorption experiments in batch mode were conducted using the developed nanocomposite. The new nanocomposite was evaluated to remove some heavy metal ions (Pb+2 and Fe+2) from waste oil and different parameters affecting the adsorption capacity such as adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature have been investigated.The (TiO2-nanoparticles / lignin /epoxy resin) composite as nano adsorbent was synthesized as nano-adsorbent of heavy metals from waste oil by sequential polymerization with presence TiO2 nanoparticles .
