Cross-linked magnetic chitosan anthranilic acid glutaraldehyde Schiffs base (CAGS) was prepared for adsorption of both As(V) and Cr(VI) ions and their determination by ICP-OES. Prepared cross-linked magnetic CAGS was investigated by means of SEM, FTIR, wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) and TGA analysis. The adsorption properties of cross-linked magnetic CAGS resin toward both As(V) and Cr(VI) were evaluated. Various factors affecting the uptake behavior such as pH, temperature, contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, effect of other ions and desorption were studied. The equilibrium was achieved after about 110 min and 120 min for As(V) and Cr(VI), respectively at pH = 2. The adsorption kinetics followed the mechanism of the pseudo-second order equation for all systems studied, evidencing chemical sorption as the rate-limiting step of adsorption mechanism and not involving a mass transfer in solution. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin isotherm models. The best interpretation for the equilibrium data was given by Langmuir isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacities were 58.48 and 62.42 mg/g for both Cr(VI) and As(V), respectively. Cross-linked magnetic CAGS displayed higher adsorption capacity for Cr(VI). The adsorption capacity of the metal ions increased with increasing temperature under optimum conditions in case of Cr(VI), but decreased in case of As(V). The metal ion-loaded cross-linked magnetic CAGS were regenerated with an efficiency of greater than 88% using 0.2 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
