Zusammenfassung:Ca-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles encapsulated in humic acid (HA-Ca/Fe3O4) were produced using a co-precipitation method. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of HA-Ca/Fe3O4 as well as the effect of coexisting ions and mechanisms were evaluated. A good description of the adsorption process was given using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. The adsorption capacities of HA-Ca/Fe3O4 for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ were 208.33, 98.33, and 99.01 mg g-1, respectively. The 0.02-0.1 times concentrations in alkali and alkaline-earth metals promoted Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption; however, any concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals inhibited Cu2+-ion adsorption, probably owing to the differences in ionic radii between the interfering and heavy-metal ions. Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ removal using HA-Ca/Fe3O4 occurred via ion exchange, complexation of O-containing functional groups, mineral precipitation, and π-electron coordination. A method was proposed to calculate the contribution of these mechanisms to the adsorption process. In practice, HA-Ca/Fe3O4 can remove 99% Pb2+ and 91% Cu2+ and Cd2+ from real wastewater samples. Following five adsorption-desorption cycles, HA-Ca/Fe3O4 adsorption capacity did not change significantly. The aforementioned results indicated that HA-Ca/Fe3O4 presented a good potential in removing heavy metals in wastewater
