Adsorption of Mn(ii) ions from wastewater using an AgNPs/GO/chitosan nanocomposite material

Water contaminated with heavy metal ions is extremely poisonous and threatens living organisms. Therefore, scientists place a premium on removing heavy metal ions from water that has already been contaminated. Removing metal ions from water typically involves the use of nanomaterials. Chitosan was made by extracting it from shrimp shells and combining it with a 3 : 1 ratio of synthetically produced AgNPs/GO. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate an AgNPs/GO/chitosan nanocomposite (XRD). A number of studies must be run to determine the optimal pH, adsorbent quantity, retention period, stirring speed, temperature, and initial concentration. The studies were conducted in a variety of ways. The isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich were utilized. The industrial wastewater was used in the column adsorption experiment, and the flow rates and column bed heights were varied. An optimum contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage for Mn(ii) were determined. At 30 minutes, pH 6, and 0.05 grams of Mn(ii) adsorbent per 100 ml, with agitation at 250 rpm, room temperature of 30 °C, and an initial concentration of 40 ppm, the best conditions were discovered. A positive correlation coefficient finding (R2 = 0.925) indicates a good fit for Mn, according to equilibrium studies (II). The pseudo-second-order active model was connected to data that suited the pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order models. In the intra-particle diffusion model, the mechanism must proceed through four phases before equilibrium is reached. In an industrial adsorbent column, the adsorbent was put to the test. The periodicity test demonstrates that the nanocomposite's adsorption capability can be recovered by washing it with 0.1 M HCl. Mn(ii) adsorbed on AgNPs/GO/Chitosan after four cycles was only 20%, insufficient for additional adsorption tests. The repeated cycles that led to the partial loss of the adsorbate may have reduced the adsorbent material's efficacy.


Introduction
Indeed, water is one of the most fundamental elements of life. We can't have plants or animals without water. There can be no life on earth if there is no water. As we go into the third millennium, the availability of clean drinking water has emerged as a pressing global issue. Excessive levels of heavy metals in the environment can have detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. 1,2 A powerful physicochemical method is an adsorption to separate and lter water and wastewater. Due to its low operating costs, high treatment effectiveness without discharging any toxic byproducts, straightforward recovery, and reusable adsorbent, adsorption has emerged as the most widely used treatment procedure for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. 3 Adsorption is now a good removal method for developing regions due to its ease of operation, regeneration capability, and low toxic sludge creation. Natural, locally available adsorbent-based processes are regarded as more accessible for developing nations, have a lower investment cost, and have a smaller environmental impact (CO 2 emission). 4 Adsorption may remove impurities from both types of water. It is the method of choice for removing dangerous heavy metals, retrieving and recycling them. Treatment of industrial wastewater containing metals is quite intriguing. 5 Heavy metals are harmful to humans, animals, and plants, even at very low concentrations, which is the fundamental reason for this. One of the most pressing problems facing the globe today is environmental pollution. Chemical pesticides and fungicides used for both agricultural and non-agricultural uses have le residues in the water, air, plants, and soil that are damaging to the environment and people.
Additionally, they bioaccumulated throughout the food chain. 6 In agriculture, fungicides and some of their metabolic products are used to manage various fungal infections in various crops (vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants, and ornamentals). 7 Recent years have seen a rise in interest in nanotechnology. Nanomaterials stand out from bulk materials thanks to their large surface areas, chemical stability, and resilience to environmental inuences. Low surface area densities eventually lead to big stable nanoparticles since adsorption energy and stability of nanoparticle size are correlated. [8][9][10][11][12][13] These nanomaterials can effectively remove them from their environmental sources by adsorbing fungicides and heavy metal ions on their surface. Nanoparticles have the potential to facilitate the efficient removal of metals as well as organic and inorganic pollutants from water. 14-21 Nano-hydroxyapatite is a suitable material for the disposal of contaminants due to its strong adsorption ability for heavy metals, according to ref. 6,22-24. An alternate adsorbent to remove heavy metals and pesticides is nano-bentonite; bentonite is widely available and reasonably priced. Montmorillonite minerals are the primary components of nano-bentonite. Due to the three layers in montmorillonite, negative charges develop on the surface. Heavy metals can be removed using this component, which has an active site. 7 For Cd and Hg, nano-bentonite adsorbs heavy metals with a 99.03 and 99.18 percent efficiency, respectively. 8,25 It presents wonderfully. Nanotechnology is the most effective approach for eliminating heavy metals from wastewater. 26,27 Nanomaterials are higher-performing technology. Nanomaterials are suitable for water treatment applications due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, high surface energy, and improved catalytic activity. The absorbent substance used in this experiment has various potential commercial applications in the future. In this study, the most common new waste biomass, AgNPs/GO/Chitosan nanocomposite, would be used to demonstrate how Mn(II) would adsorb on these nanocomposite materials. The ndings indicate that AgNP/GO/Chitosan absorbent material is economically appealing for wastewater treatment. GO is an excellent candidate for support materials that improve AgNP dispersion and materials with enhanced mechanical strength. Furthermore, GO would benet the economy because of its low production costs and ease of use. The composite form will combine the benets of AgNPs and GO, particularly the charges on the GO surface that absorb reactants via astacking interaction, resulting in a larger concentration of agents near the AgNPs on the surface and hence more efficient contact between reactants. 28 In addition, the proportion of silver used in nanocomposite is much lower than that of other components, which are less expensive than silver, making it cost-effective. AgNP/GO/Chitosan absorbent material has demonstrated excellent adsorption performance with high and low manganese levels, simple pretreatment of the absorbent material, and high desorption and sorption capacity regeneration feasibility. Due to the chitosan derived from shrimp shellsh, nano silver protects the nanocomposite against bacterial buildup and enhances the lifetime of the nanocomposite. These characteristics will contribute to the material's future use as an absorbent for removing heavy metals from industrial wastewater. 29 The main objective of this study was to ascertain the viability of AgNPs/GO/Chitosan Nanocomposite as a low-cost biosorbent for Mn(II) adsorption from wastewater. The batch adsorption procedure was examined at room temperature by the following operational parameters: initial pollutant concentration, contact time, adsorbing dose, and stirring rate. XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to investigate the adsorbing substance under various circumstances. The kinetic models, diffusion equations, and empirical isotherms were all applied.  Fig.1). The companies for the purchased and used materials are displayed in Table 1. Fig. 1 Process for the production of chitosan from crustacean shell waste.

Adsorption parameter optimization
The study considered six factors (pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature, agitation speed, and manganese content) to assess the nanocomposite material to adsorb (Mn) ( Table 2).
2.2.1. Batch experiments of manganese Mn(II). 7.92 g of manganese chloride, MnCl 2 , was carefully dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water to provide a stock solution of Mn(II) (1000 ppm). The standard solution was diluted with distilled water to create the Mn(II) standard solution. 0.05 g of AgNP/GO/Chitosan and 100 ml of a 50 ppm Mn(II) solution were used in the equilibrium procedure. At a speed of 250 (rpm), samples were shaken for 30 minutes. Using a spectrophotometer, the centrifuged samples were examined for Mn(II) ions. 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M NaOH were used to change the pH. This study examined pH (from 2 to 8), contact time (10 to 80 min), adsorbent dose (0.01 to 0.5 g), temperature (30 C to 80 C), agitation speed (100 to 250 rpm), and concentration of Mn(II) (5 to 400 ppm) on the adsorbent's ability to remove Mn(II) as shown in Table 2.
The pollutant removal and adsorption capacities at equilibrium were determined using the following equations: As C o and C e , the initial Mn(II) and equilibrium concentrations are displayed (ppm). The solid's equilibrium adsorption capacity is q e , measured in mg g −1 . W (g) is the weight of the dry adsorbent employed in the experiment, and V (ml) is the volume of the Mn-containing solution (II).  30 2.3.2. Industrial wastewater sampling. A sample of the industrial effluent was provided by the rocket fertilizer plant in New Salhia, Sharqia, Egypt. Table 3 lists the most crucial properties of industrial wastewater. All the analyses were carried out according to standard water examination methods. Using a gravimetric method, the TDS of the ltrate was calculated. Mn was determined using conventional water testing procedures (II). The pH of the test water's raw water was adjusted using either 0.1 M NaOH or HCl (0.1 M). We exclusively utilize topnotch chemicals that come from the local market in Egypt (Table 1).

Water analysis.
Readings of pH were taken using the pH meter (AD1000). Atomic absorption methods have been used to analyze Mn(II) ions concentrations in raw and treated Table 2 The experimental program Mn(II) sorption can be located. As depicted in Fig. 2, the infrared spectra of extract, GO, AgNP, Chitosan, and composites of AgNP GO and Chitosan were gathered. Maximum intensities and primary absorption peak sites in the FTIR spectra are between 500 and 4000 cm −1 . The bending vibrations of phenols, polysaccharides, and O-H in the GO are responsible for the AgNP/ GO/Chitosan composites' 900 cm −1 absorption peak. The absorption peak at 800 cm −1 provides additional evidence of the C]O bond's existence. In this instance, a peak at 1600 cm −1 represents the C-O-H bond. A comparable signal at 3500 cm −1 was detected for the CH bond. Ag/GO nanocomposite is created via interactions between negatively charged GO ions and Ag + cations because of the functional groups in GO (hydroxyl, epoxide, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups).
3.1.2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). AgNPs/GO/ chitosan composite's surface morphology was identied by SEM, as shown in Fig. 3; SEM from the external surface of chitosan nanoparticles allowed analyzing the structural situation. SEM characterizes the surface morphology and average particle size of chitosan, chitin, and AgNPs/GO/chitosan composites. The surface morphology of chitin was coated with both bores and nanobers, as illustrated in Fig. 3. The nanoparticles have an average particle size between 33.64 and 74.87 nm. Fig. 3(B) shows the microbril chitin bers' diameter, which ranges from 1-2 mm. SEM pictures demonstrated the continuous nature of the thin, multilayer membrane created by GO and the absence of macropores or other aws. 150 nm is about how thick it is thought to be. Sheets of graphite oxide could be seen on their  surface. The AgNPs on the surface of the graphite oxide was discovered to be evenly distributed and interwoven, as shown in Fig. 3. The surface of activated graphite oxide is depicted in Fig. 3(D). The AgNPs/GO/chitosan composite morphology, as illustrated in Fig. 3, has a limited number of tiny longitudinal indentations and a great number of big bulges.
3.1.3. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AgNPs particles are anchored on GO, as shown in Fig. 4, according to the morphology of the nanocomposite of AgNPs and GO. Amorphous graphite oxide and AgNPs crystal characteristics could be identied. The AgNPs nanocrystals' tetragonal form is depicted in Fig. 4. All AgNPs/GO composites had particle sizes between 20 and 35 nm due to the same AgNPs preparation procedures. Regarding particle size, the TEM and XRD data showed a high agreement.
3.1.4. Surface charge analysis. AgNPs/GO/chitosan composite zeta potential measurements at a pH range of 2-8 are shown in Fig. 5. The AgNPs/GO/chitosan composite's zeta potential dropped as the pH was raised. The calculated point of zero charge (PZC) of AgNPs/GO/chitosan composite was 3. Thus, below these values, the adsorption of anionic ions is encouraged due to the positively charged surface of the adsorbent. The positive metal ion interacts electrostatically with the negative surface of the adsorbent (caused by the carboxyl/amine groups present) above the pHPCZs that have been seen. Thus, cationic adsorption is encouraged. In this experiment, the electrostatic attraction was exploited to adsorb metal ions. Fig. 6 depicts the effect of pH on Mn(II) varied from 2 to 10 at adsorbent dose ¼ 0.05 g per 100 ml, Mn C o ¼ 40 ppm, contact time ¼ 80 min, 30 C, and agitation speed ¼ 250 rpm. From 6.00 to 2.00, it is observed that adsorption capacity (q e ) and removal ratio (RR%) of manganese Mn(II) don't affect by alkaline or acidic media, the optimum removal ratio % RR reached 97.8% (r 0.849, p 0.069) and adsorption capacity (q e ) reached 78.24 mg g −1 (r 0.849, p 0.069) at pH 6, as shown in Fig. 6. This could be because for Mn(II) when the pH of the medium increases, the rivalry between positively charged metal ions and H + ions

The effect of contact time
The test program carried out at contact time varied from 10 min to 80 min and in case of a dose ¼ 0.05 g per 100 ml, pH ¼ 6, Mn conc. ¼ 40 ppm, and agitation speed ¼ 250 rpm at 30 C. It is observed that in the rst 10 minutes of the test, adsorption capacity (q e ) and removal ratio (RR) of manganese (Mn) reached 77.68 mg g −1 and 97.1% R 2 (r 0.92, p 0.553), respectively, and they had no change by the time. This conclusion is consistent with other researchers' reported ndings. Due to the large number of unoccupied surface patches in the initial stage that may be absorbed, as illustrated in Fig. 7, adsorbing species absorb quickly in the early contact time phases before slowing down toward equilibrium.

The effect of adsorbent dosage
Adsorbent dosage was changed from 0.01 to 0.5 g per 100 ml during the test program, which also included the following parameters: pH ¼ 6, Mn conc. ¼ 40 ppm, contact period of 30 min, and agitation speed of 250 rpm at 30 C. It is noted that the adsorption capacity (q e ) and removal ratio (RR%) of manganese (Mn) increases as adsorbent dosage increases and is nearly kept slightly constant from 0.05 g to 0.5 g, as shown in Fig. 8. 0.05 g per 100 ml manganese solution is the most economic value of adsorbent dosage and the corresponding removal ratio % RR and adsorption capacity (q e ) for 0.05 adsorbent dosage were 97.8% (r 0.998, p 0.086) and 78.24 mg g −1 R 2 (r 0.595, p 0.120) respectively.
The metal-binding site ratio affects the adsorption capability. The availability of heavy metal ions was inadequate to completely saturate the open spots on the adsorbent surface at a higher dose. The increased accessible surface area and the active adsorption sites for Mn led to reduced ions absorption per unit mass of the adsorbent, resulting in lower adsorption capacity. There was no discernible increase, and a steady state of adsorption was seen for manganese when the adsorbent dose was raised from 0.05 to 0.5 gL −1 . For Mn(II), the adsorbent dose becomes negligible aer the adsorption equilibrium is attained by increasing the adsorbent to more than 0.05. Nevertheless, as adsorbent concentrations rise, the diffusion falls due to a number of factors, such as a reduced solvent to adsorbent ratio, interference between binding sites, and electrostatic interactions. 32

The effect of temperature
At an adsorbent dose of 0.05 g per 100 ml, a pH of 6, a Mn concentration of 40 ppm, a contact period of 30 min, and an agitation speed of 250 rpm, the temperature varied from 30 C to 80 C. Manganese (Mn) is shown to have a decreasing adsorption capacity (q e ) and removal ratio (RR percent) as the temperature rises. So maximum removal ratio % RR and adsorption capacity (q e ) reached 97.8% R 2 (r 0.99, p 0.01) and 78.24 mg g −1 R −2 (r 0.99, p 0.01) respectively at 30 C as shown in Fig. 9. According to the ndings, graphene oxide and chitosan contribute to chemical adsorption and physical adsorption caused by the pores and ssures in graphene oxide and the electron focus of silver ions that have been transformed into nanomaterial. Even so, as seen in Fig. 9, physical adsorption   declines, and the removal of ions declines by around 10% as temperature rises.

Agitation speed
Stirring varied from 100 rpm to 250 rpm at adsorbent dose ¼ 0.05 g per 100 ml, pH ¼ 6, time ¼ 30 min, and Mn C o ¼ 40 mg L −1 at 30 C, and it is noted that adsorption capacity (q e ) and removal ratio (RR %) of manganese (Mn) slightly increases as stirring increases nearly constant, maximum removal ratio % RR and adsorption capacity (q e ) reached 97.8 R 2 (r 0.916, p 0.084) and 78.24 R 2 (r 0.916, p 0.084) respectively at 250 rpm as shown in Fig. 10. Strong stirring, however, causes nanocomposite and pollutant kinetics to continue, increasing the likelihood of collision and reducing the time needed for contact, as illustrated in Fig. 10.
3.7. Initial concentration effect. For the initial concentration experiment, Mn ions varied from 5 to 400 ppm l at 0.05 g per 100 ml of adsorbent, pH ¼ 6, contact time ¼ 30 min, and agitation speed ¼ 250 rpm at 30 C. It is observed that adsorption capacity (q e ) R 2 (r 0.455, p 0.257) and removal ratio (RR %) R 2 (r 1.00, p 0.00) of manganese Mn(II) increased at high concentration of (Mn) ions and decreased at low concentration of (Mn) ions, as shown in Fig. 11.
With a constant amount of adsorbent, a higher initial manganese concentration causes a higher level of manganese in the solution, which increases the adsorbent's capacity to bind manganese. Due to a signicant mass transfer forcing, the adsorption increases as manganese levels rise. Table 4 compares AgNP/GO/Chitosan nanocomposite removal efficiency and other materials for manganese Mn(II). It can be deduced from Table 4 that AgNP/GO/Chitosan nanocomposite possesses the highest removal efficiency and adsorption capacity.

Isothermal model
When evaluating the adsorption capacity of AgNP/GO/Chitosan and Mn(II) balancing features, four isotherm models-Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Tempkin-were utilized. 13 3.8.1. Langmuir isotherm. According to data shown in Table 5, the coefficients of determination (R 2 ) for Mn(II) were (0.027 for linear and 0.884 for nonlinear). This indicates that the Mn(II) adsorption on AgNPs/Go/Chitosan is best suited with a nonlinear Langmuir isotherm. The linear, however, does not t this description. For Mn(II), the q o (mg g −1 ) values were approximately (77.433 for linear and 643 985.5 for nonlinear) and K L (0.089.79 for linear and 0.0001 for nonlinear). The material efficiency is shown by q m , corresponding to the manganese Mn(II) for AgNPs/GO/Chitosan. Langmuir's isotherm covered that Mn(II) adsorption took place at functional groups or binding sites rather than monolayer adsorption on the adsorbent surface. One molecule thick, implying that the adsorption layer is only one molecule thick. The Langmuir model was not particularly well followed by AgNPs, GO, or chitosan. A dimensionless separation factor (R L ) can be used to determine the basic properties of the Langmuir isotherm as: Using the Langmuir model study for Mn(II) adsorption on AgNPs/GO/Chitosan isotherm at room temperature, values for the K L and q m coefficients reported in Table 5 for this study can be calculated (25 C).
The Langmuir model assumes only one solute molecule per site and a xed number of sites. The Langmuir isotherm relates q e (mg of adsorbate adsorbed per gram of adsorbent media) and C e (the equilibrium adsorbate concentration in solution). As demonstrated in eqn (3), the Langmuir isotherm connects q e (the amount of adsorbate adsorbed per gram of adsorbent media) and C e (the equilibrium concentration of adsorbate in solution). Langmuir's constant, K L , is represented in L mg −1 . The parameters of the adsorbent affect the maximum adsorption capacity; K L (L mg −1 ) is the Langmuir adsorption affinity constant connected to the bond energy of adsorption. The dimensionless separation factor constant (R L ), which offers important details on the nature of adsorption, can also be estimated using the Langmuir model. Adsorption is considered unfavourable when R L is more than 1 and irreversible when R L is     Table 6 make it obvious that the linear Freundlich model can account for the correlation between the concentration of Mn(II) adsorbing in biomass and its equilibrium concentration in solution. These numbers are, in turn, 0.998 for linear and 0.999 for nonlinear. The K F and n values for AgNPs/GO/Chitosan were, respectively, (23.94211 for linear and 21.07036 for nonlinear mg g −1 ) and (0.791 for linear and 0.594 for nonlinear) L −1 g, respectively. Mn(II) had an R 2 value of 0.999 in the nonlinear Freundlich model shown in Table 6. The nonlinear model could account for the adsorbed Mn(II) on AgNPs/GO/Chitosan at an equilibrium concentration in the solution.
The effectiveness of adsorbents in removing Mn(II) from the environment depends on various factors. Mn(II) was successfully adsorbed by AgNPs/GO/Chitosan biomass when the 1/n was between 0.00 and 1.00. When 1/n is less than 1, the surface functional area distribution or other factors may be to blame for reducing the adsorbent-adsorbate interaction. The Freundlich model asserts that saturation is not feasible since adsorption might occur on several levels. In equation, we can observe the Freundlich constant, n, and an adsorption capacity index, K F (index of adsorption intensity or surface heterogeneity). K F is based on the amount of Mn(II), which can be eliminated because their concentration levels are constrained using the adsorbent dosage. Tables 5-8 present the Mn(II) adsorption isotherms by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Tempkin isotherms, along with correlation values (R 2 ).
There are three isotherm models for Mn(II): the Freundlich isotherm (R 2 for nonlinear 0.999 for linear model 0.998), the Tempkin (R 2 for nonlinear 0.675 and linear 0.675), and the Dubinin-Radushkevich (R 2 for nonlinear 0.882 and linear 0.227). These indicate that while linear Dubinin-Radushkevich, linear Langmuir, and both Tempkin isotherm models cannot match the experimental data satisfactorily, nonlinear Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Langmuir isotherm models can.
The nonlinear and linear Freundlich modelling for the adsorption system ts the experimental data. The maximum adsorption capacity for Mn(II) determined by the nonlinear Dubinin-Radushkevich model was 932.25 mg g −1 , as shown in Table 7. Since the actual values for the adsorption system's saturation capacity are greater than those predicted by these models, the Dubinin-Radushkevich, 1 Langmuir, and Tempkin isotherm models are not applicable.

Models of kinetics
Pseudo-rst-order and pseudo-second-order models were used to analyze the adsorption kinetics. 1 3.9.1. The pseudo-rst-order. The q e value of the pseudo-rst order model agreed with the estimated value, as shown in Table 9. Additionally, the correlation between the pseudo-rst order model and Mn(II) was achieved (R 2 ¼ 0.141 for linear and R 2 ¼ 0.199 for nonlinear). Since the adsorption kinetics for Mn(II). Are linear and nonlinear, the pseudo-rstorder model did not t these data.
3.9.2. The pseudo-second-order. The q e value derived by the pseudo-rst order model agreed with the experimental results, as shown in Table 10. Additionally, for Mn(II), a correlation with the pseudo-second-order model was achieved (R 2 ¼ 0.980 for linear and R 2 ¼ 0.927 for nonlinear). As a result, Mn (IIadsorption)'s kinetics were linearly predicted by the pseudo-   (6) ln q e vs.  Table 10. The cations of the pollutants attach to the adsorbent surfaces via chemical interactions (typically covalent bonds). In the pseudo-second-order chemisorption model, they seek regions where their coordination number with the surface is highest.

Diffusion model
Weber and Morris evaluated the intraparticle diffusion hypotheses. The adsorbate's diffusion determines the adsorption rate toward the adsorbent in the intraparticle dissemination display (i.e., the process is dispersion controlled). Adsorption morphologies are presented. 13 The results of this investigation show that depending on the initial Mn(II) load, different amounts of Mn(II) are adsorbed. Four processes are assumed to be involved in the removal of Mn(II) by adsorption: bulk diffusion, (ii) lm diffusion, (ii) pore or intra-particle diffusion, and (iv) pollutant adsorption on the surface of the sorbent. The literature suggests that if the stirring speed is sufficiently high, the rst step may be "ignored," as was previously mentioned. An intraparticle diffusion plot shows a boundary layer effect early in the adsorption process. The second portion of the linear curve represents the progressive adsorption stage, during which intraparticle diffusion has changed into a charge-limiting process. A third part, the equilibrium stage, is created when adsorbate concentrations fall and intraparticle diffusion begins to slow. K id and C were calculated using the second linear segment. The intraparticle diffusion parameters for the adsorption process are determined and shown in the Tables below Tables 11-13. Although it did not proceed via the origin, there was a straight relationship between the times. It suggested that because intraparticle was obvious, it was not the only rate-controlling stage and that there might be other mechanisms at play. 33 As shown in Tables 11-13, the AgNPs/GO/Chitosan adsorbents deviate from the linear parts of the plots at the origin of Table 9 The pseudo-first-order models

Heavy metals
The pseudo-second-order model Plotting Mn(II) Nonlinear: q t ¼ k 2 q e 2 t/(1 + k 2 q e t) (3) q t vs. t 0.199 78.140 0.017 Linear: t/q t ¼ 1/(k 2 q e 2 ) + t/q e (4) t/q t vs. t −0.0006 92.514 0.940 Table 12 Pore diffusion models Heavy metals Pore diffusion model Plotting q t q e vs: t 0:5 0.148 0.00001 0.061 the q t vs. t 1/2 plots. As a result, the Mn(II) adsorption on AgNPs/ GO/Chitosan is complicated, and the adsorption process is still not entirely monitored by the intra-particle diffusion stage of AgNPs/GO/Chitosan adsorption. 33 Plotting Mn(II) uptake (q t /q e ) vs. t 0.5 reveals portions that correspond to a highly rapid beginning stage followed by a gradual nal uptake of the ions into the pores, which was consistent with the trend found in the Weber and Morris intra-particle diffusion model. Researchers suggested examining the adsorption process utilizing lm diffusion and pore diffusion to understand more about the processes and rate-controlling phases affecting adsorption kinetics. The lm diffusion equation can be expressed as: A (mm) is the average AgNPs/Go/Chitosan radius, and D 1 is the lm diffusion coefficient (mm 2 S −1 ).
The exterior of the AgNPs/GO/Chitosan nanocomposite affects the boundary layer Mn(II) ion transport. The three portions of intraparticle diffusion are consistent with the plot of q t /q e against t 0.5 for Mn(II) uptake. It can be easier to comprehend the pore diffusion model if you compare it to the adsorption kinetics. According to Reichenberg's formulation of the pore diffusion equation: q t q e \0:85 Mn(II) fractional uptake (q t /q e ) as a function of time, t 0.5 , squared. Plots of Mn(II) fractional absorption vs. time (t 0.5 ) for AgNPs, GO, and Chitosan, respectively. Similar to the trend found in the intraparticle diffusion plot, it was discovered that the plots had sections that represented a very rapid early stage followed by a gradual nal uptake of Mn(II) ions into the pores. Tables demonstrate the lm diffusion coefficient (D 1 ) values for Mn(II) adsorption onto AgNPs/GO/Chitosan based on the slope of the q t /q e against t 0.5 graphs Tables 9-11. AgNPs/GO/higher Chitosan's D 1 values may be explained by two factors: the positively charged Mn(II), which is produced in a higher percentage for this system, experiences repulsion as it travels through the liquid lm to the positively charged adsorbent surface at pH, and the roughness the adsorbent has caused to the surface. It was found that 34 had a lm diffusion coefficient between 10 −6 and 10 −8 cm 2 s −1 , proving that the adsorption mechanism uses lm diffusion. Our study's measurement of the lm diffusion coefficient for AgNPs/GO/Chitosan was 10 −7 , suggesting that lm diffusion may have played a role in the Mn(II) adsorption onto AgNPs/GO/Chitosan.
We can use B for the effective pore diffusion coefficient, D 2 (mm 2 S −1 ), from the following equation Under the ideal conditions of linearity, pore-diffusion control can fully explain the mass transfer rate (B t vs. t plot). If the graph is nonlinear or linear with a nonzero intercept, lm diffusion or a chemical reaction will affect the adsorption rate. The graphs of B t vs. t for Mn(II) suggest that either lm-diffusion or chemical reaction was the driving force behind the adsorption process because nonlinear sections rst showed in the plot of B t /t for Mn(II) at low adsorption durations.

Column adsorption
Glass columns with an inner diameter of 4.0 cm were used to study continuous ow adsorption. All column experiment procedures have been done, as in El Shahawy et al. (2022). 30 The saturation capacity of adsorbent composites of AgNPs, GO, and chitosan was evaluated in columns using the equation: where q e represents the Mn adsorbed (mg g −1 ), the concentration of Mn in feed water is C o (ppm), and C is the outlet Mn concentration (ppm). The solvent volume needed to achieve the point of exhaustion is known as ve (L), and m is the mass of the adsorbent (g). 3.11.1. Effect of ow rate. The adsorption columns were run at 3, 6, and 10 ml min −1 ow rates until no more Mn could be extracted. The breakthrough curve for a column was produced by plotting the C e /C o ratio with time (where C e and C o stand for the Mn concentrations in treated wastewater and feed water, respectively). This breakthrough curve is shown in Fig. 12. The column operated excellently at the lowest ow rate of 3 ml min −1 . By increasing the ow rate from 3 to 10 ml min −1 , the manganese breakthrough and extraction periods were shortened, and the Mn column breakthrough time was decreased from 80 to 60 minutes. Less Mn was absorbed because the residence period was shortened, reducing Mn(II) interaction with the adsorbent AgNP/GO/chitosan composites and ne sand. When ow rates were raised, the Mn ions le the column, preventing the adsorbent and ne sand column from reaching equilibrium.
3.11.2. Effect of bed height. The impact of AgNPs/GO/ chitosan composite ne sand on Mn was examined using three different bed heights: 1 cm, 3 cm, and 6 cm. Mn solutions with a xed concentration (49.29 ppm) were passed through a xed-bed column at a constant ow rate of 6 ml min −1 . According to Fig. 13, the breakthrough time varied depending on bed height. Steeper breakthrough curves were produced as bed depth was reduced. Because there were fewer binding sites at shallower bed depths, the breakthrough time was reduced from 6 to 1 cm at bed depth. Mn ions do not have enough time to diffuse through the surface in composite adsorbents consisting of AgNPs, GO, and Chitosan with low bed depth, lowering breakthrough time. Due to the increased bed depth, the Mn ions could penetrate deeper into the AgNPs/GO/ chitosan composite adsorbent and ne sand, extending the manganese solution's time inside the column.

Conclusion
The following conclusions can be drawn from the ndings and discussions of the previous experiments: (1) Heavy metal removal from wastewater effluent was optimized via adsorption.
(2) The (101) crystal plane at 55.1 has the largest XRD peak. AgNP/GO/Chitosan composites lacked 2 ¼ 10.1 diffraction peaks, indicating that GO was reduced to rGO. As oxygencontaining energy groups disappear, van der Waals interactions reduce layer spacing. Improved thermal stability and electrical conductivity. AgNPs nanocrystals were tetragonal. All AgNP/GO composites had the same shape and particle sizes as AgNPs due to the same preparation circumstances. TEM and XRD particle readings were similar.
(3) The nanoparticles' external surface SEM allowed for structural observation. Chitin's surface morphology was surface with both bores and nanobers, with an average particle size of 33.64 to 74.87 nm. The microbril chitin bers have a diameter of 1-2 mm and GO a thickness of 150 nm. There were no macro pores or defects in the nal thin-layered membrane, as shown by the SEM image. The surface of graphite oxide sheets was visible, and the AgNPs were well dispersed and intertwined. This graphene oxide was visible on the surface of the sheets.
There are no longitudinal incisions or bulges on the surface of AgNP/GO/Chitosan composite monolayers.
(4) GO's phenols, carbohydrates, and O-H form a 900 nm infrared peak. The absorption peak at 800 nm shows C]O bonds. The C-O-H bond peak is 1600 nm. CH bond causes a 3500 nm signal.
(5) Nonlinear and linear Freundlich models t the experimental data with R 2 values of 0.999 and 0.998, respectively.
(6) The pseudo-second-order linear model was a good t for the experimental data, with an R 2 of 0.940 for eliminating Mn(II) using AgNP/GO/Chitosan. (7) The pore diffusion model predicted an excellent agreement with actual data for Mn(II) and AgNP/GO/Chitosan removal (R 2 ¼ 0.061).
(8) A thermodynamic model revealed the approach is viable, and the negative G value conrmed Mn(II) adsorption on AgNP/ GO/Chitosan is spontaneous. The process is exothermal because G decreases with temperature. Temperature increases decreased Mn removal (II). Positive H suggests endothermic adsorption. S increases unpredictability at the solid-liquid interface during adsorption. Mn(II) adsorption on AgNP/GO/ Chitosan was studied.
