Batch experiments were conducted at 25 °C. In a clean vial, a Pd(II) solution (
V = 5 mL) was mixed with KAlFe(CN)
6/SiO
2 (
m = 0.05 g). The supernatant inside the vial was filtered and diluted. The concentration of Pd(II) in the filtrate was obtained by using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan,
ICP-7500).
The distribution coefficient of Pd(II) (
Kd) was calculated as follows:
where
C0 is the concentration of Pd(II) in the preadsorption solution,
Ce represents the equilibrium concentration,
V is the volume of the Pd(II) solution, and
m is the mass of the KAlFe(CN)
6/SiO
2 adsorbent.
The experimental adsorption capacity of Pd(II) (
Qe) is defined as follows:
