In this study, L-methionine and nano-Fe₃O₄ were encapsulated and cured on sodium alginate by the ionic cross-linking method to form magnetic composite gel spheres (SML) as an adsorbent for the removal of Zn(II) from water. The influence of adsorbent dosages, pH, reaction time, and initial ion concentration on the ability of the gel spheres to adsorb Zn(II) was investigated, and the adsorption mechanism was identified. The experimental results showed that under the optimum conditions (pH = 5, t = 60 min, dosage of SML is 0.7 g·L⁻¹), the maximum amount of Zn(II) adsorbed by the adsorbent gel spheres reached 86.84 mgˑg⁻¹. The reaction process of this adsorbent fits well with the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and is a heat absorption reaction. The adsorbent would preferentially adsorb Pb(II), and the adsorption efficiency of Zn(II) decreased when the concentration of interfering ions increased in the coexistence system. Further mechanistic research showed that this magnetic composite adsorbent is a mesoporous material with superior adsorption performance, and the amino and carboxyl groups on it react with Zn(II) via ligand chelation; the ion exchange effect of Ca(II) also plays a role. The adsorption amount of Zn(II) was maintained at a higher level after 5 cycles, and the loss of Fe was approximately 0.2%. In summary, SML, which is environmentally friendly, efficient, and recyclable, is an ideal adsorbent for Zn(II) removal.
