Abstrakt: | Gallium and indium, metals present in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting technology, can be effectively recovered from aqueous solutions by sorption. For this purpose, carbonaceous materials, such as activated carbon, or low-cost biosorbents as beer bagasse, spent coffee grounds or peanut shells, and a low-cost zeolite as chabazite, were characterized by BET, FTIR, XRD, and SEM analysis prior use. Protonated chabazite, with high surface area (505 m 2 /g) and a Si/Al molar ratio of 3.4, showed high sorption capacities for gallium (56 mg/g) and indium (92 mg/g), which is 10 to 30 times higher than those of our carbonaceous materials (T = 298 K, pH < 3, dosage = 1 g/L). Sorption experiments with both metals in solution showed a competitive effect between gallium and indium for the sorption sites of the chabazite, showing more affinity toward gallium than indium.
