This study investigates the extraction of lead (Pb (II)) and cobalt (Co (II)) from waste water through glycolamide based functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) having imidazolium cations mono (LI) and di (LII) ionics. Four factors that influence the selective extraction of Pb (II) and Co (II) including the choice of IL (LI and LII), pH value (2, 6, and 10), contact time (15, 45, and 75 min), and metal ionic concentrations (50, 150, and 250 ppm) were analyzed. Results from central composite design (CCD) show that all considered four factors significantly influenced (p value <0.001) the Pb (II) and Co (II) extraction. Moreover pH values and contact time significantly influences (p value <0.05) the Pb (II) and Co (II) at both levels of ILs. The response surface methodology is used to optimize the extraction efficiency of these ILs. Moreover, the Pb extraction can be optimized to 96.819% by choosing temperate 84.9°C, pH value 4.448, and metal concentration 92.5 ppm. Similarly, Co extraction can be optimized to 95.754% by choosing temperate 68.40°C, pH value 3.768, and metal concentration 34.70 ppm. Moreover, the interaction between ILs and Pb (II) and Co (II) has been proven via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) qualitative analysis.
It studies the effect of IL, pH value, contact time, and metal ionic concentrations over the selective extraction of Pb (II) and Co (II) through factorial design. The response surface methodology optimizes the extraction efficiency of these ILs. Findings are verified via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) qualitative analysis.
