A study on sorption of heavy metal ions: Lead (Pb2+), Copper (Cu2+) and Cadmium (Cd2+) from mine wastewater by activated carbons prepared from coconut husk was conducted.  The activated carbons were prepared by carbonisation of the husk at 900 ºC pyrolysis temperature, followed by steam activation of the pyrolysis derived char. Activation was also performed at 900 ºC for various durations at steam addition rate of 0.2 mol/h/g in a Gas Fired Static Bed Pyrolysis-Activation Reactor. The derived activated carbons were contacted with mine wastewater containing heavy metal ions to assess their heavy metal ions adsorption potential. The results show that the activated carbons efficiently adsorbed the heavy metal ions from solution, reducing concentrations of  Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ from 1.56 mg/L, 1.87 mg/L and 0.69 mg/L respectively to below Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) standards of  0.10 mg/L, 1.30 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ respectively. The significances of this study are that, the conversion of the coconut husk to activated carbons provides a solution to environmental problems associated with dumping of the waste and also provides valuable products capable of reducing the effects of heavy metals in wastewater.  Keywords: Coconut Husk, Activated Carbon, Heavy Metal, Adsorption

Phase Contact Time

This paper deals with the adsorption of heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Zn2+) on the carbonaceous materials obtained by chemical activation and ammoxidation of Polish brown coal. The effects of phase contact time, initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, and temperature, as well as the presence of competitive ions in solution, on the adsorption capacity of activated carbons were examined. It has been shown that the sample modified by introduction of nitrogen functional groups into carbon structure exhibits a greater ability to uptake heavy metals than unmodified activated carbon. It has also been found that the adsorption capacity increases with the increasing initial concentration of the solution and the phase contact time. The maximum adsorption was found at pH = 8.0 for Cu(II) and pH = 6.0 for Zn(II). For all samples, better fit to the experimental data was obtained with a Langmuir isotherm than a Freundlich one. A better fit of the kinetic data was achieved using the pseudo-second order model.

: Activated carbons were prepared from sewage sludge by chemical activation with pyrolusite (PAC) and lithium-silicon powder addition (LSAC) to develop effective adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) metal ions from aqueous solution. Both modifiers with optimum dosage 1% (wt.) were demonstrated to exhibit important effects on the formation of adsorbent’s pore structure. PAC and LSAC showed 17.06% and 8.38% higher BET surface area than the common one without modification (AC). The XPS result showed that after modification, the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on modified activated carbons surface were remarkably improved comparing with the ordinary carbon. The adsorption results in single ion solution showed that the metal ions’ removal rates were 13~29% and 20~43% increment, respectively, by LSAC and PAC comparing with AC’s. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies showed that adsorption of heavy metal ions onto the modified adsorbents was well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In a multi-ions solution system, the produced carbons showed high affinity and good selective adsorptive capacity on Cu (II), Pb (II) removal, while an improvement adsorption towards Cd(II) and Cr(III) were observed. It will help a lot in wastewater industries due to its efficiency and low-price.
