Title A name given to the resource Solid state, rapid mechanochemical route for TiO2 coated Schiff-base polymer as adsorbent for the exclusion of hexavalent Cr from water Subject The topic of the resource Adsorbent; Hexavalent Cr removal; Mechanochemical; Surface functionalization Description An account of the resource The removal of hexavalent Cr from water is vital considering its harmful and carcinogenic effects on human health as well as the environment. Effective exclusion of Cr(VI) provides reliable water to consume, impedes bioaccumulation, and mitigates environmental pollution. The present work details the rapid, ecofriendly, solvent-free mechanochemical route for the development of a polymeric Schiff-Base-wrapped TiO2 (SBP@TiO2) nano-adsorbent for the effective removal of Cr(VI) from water. The comprehensive understanding of the structural and chemical characteristics of the newly synthesized materials were examined through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. To assess the adsorption capacity, kinetics, and equilibrium of Cr(VI) adsorbate on adsorbent material (TiO2 and SBP@TiO2) and to understand the interplay between the critical parameters and their impact on adsorption, a series of batch adsorption studies were carried out. The adsorption equilibrium data for the Cr(VI) adsorption process fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model of adsorption and adsorption kinetics disclosed that the data are in excellent agreement with R2 values of 0.98721 for the pseudo-second-order, indicating that the sorption process is by chemisorption. Thermodynamic measurements revealed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) on SBP@TiO2 was spontaneous and endothermic, as corroborated by the ?ve value of ?Go and the +ve value of ?Ho, respectively. It was discovered that the sorption of 10 and 50 ppm of Cr(VI) on SBP@TiO2 was 96% and 75.4% under optimal conditions, respectively. In contrast, the sorption study of Cr(VI) on TiO2 under identical conditions was found to be 49%. The study found that surface functionalization of TiO2 by SBP admirably improved the adsorption capacity, signifying SBP@TiO2 as an efficient Cr(VI) adsorbent. 2024 The Authors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shivarathri P.G.; Rajappa S.; Reddy Gondhesi M.S.; Anusuya Devi V.S.; Devendrachari M.C.; Nimbegondi Kotresh H.M.
