Abstract
The current study focuses on the synthesis and sorption properties of two mixed oxides of iron and silicon prepared by physical mixing (M~1~) and sequential precipitation methods (M~2~). Both the mixed oxides were synthesized from equimolar ratios of Fe(OH)~3~ and SiO~2~ and characterized for surface area, EDX, XRD and PZC. The surface area, micropore volume and average pore width of the oxide M~1~ were higher as compared to the oxide M~2~. However, potentiometric titrations revealed that mixed oxide synthesized by this method had a very high capacity towards Cd^2+^ ions as compared to the mixed oxide M~1~. Sorption of Cd^2+^ ions at pH 5 on mixed oxide, M~2~ was found to increase with temperature in the range 288 to 318 K. Langmuir equation was found applicable to the sorption data with R^2^>0.99. Entropy (Ξ__S__^β^), enthalpy (Ξ__H__^β^) and free energy changes (Ξ__G__^β^) were calculated which revealed the process to be endothermic and spontaneous in nature.
