Gelatin-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with a particle size of 6.9 (±3.2) nm were synthesized and employed in nanoparticle adsorption onto activated carbon (AC). Subsequently, the synthesized AgNPs and the adsorbed nanoparticles onto the AC (AgNP@AC) were characterized by various techniques including UV–Vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) and X–ray diffraction (XRD). AgNPs possessed colloidal stability at a wide pH interval ranging between 4 and 13. Adsorption was studied batch-wise as a function of initial nanoparticle concentration (4–14 mg L-1), temperature (298–323 K), pH (4–13) and adsorbent dosage (0.01–0.05 g). Adsorption isotherms were investigated by fitting the data to different isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R). Error analysis indicated that the adsorption is well described by the Langmuir model with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 10.36 mg g-1 for 0.05 g AC at pH 7 and 323 K. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (66.77 kJ mol-1), entropy (232.92 J mol-1 K-1), and Gibbs free energy (–8.31 kJ mol-1) indicated that the process is endothermic, favorable and spontaneous through physical interactions.
