In present study, Pyras pashia leaves were used as low cost biosorbent to study biosorption of Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from contaminated wastewater. In the employed batch methods pH, contact time, metal ion concentration, temperature, biosorbent doses were taken as study parameters. The pH was varied from pH 1-9 to study the influence of pH on biosorption of metal ions by Pyras pashia. The optimum pH for the removal of Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) is observed at pH 5. The biosorption equilibrium time was varied between 15-75 min. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms were employed to study the biosorption. The biosorption parameter fits well with Langmuir isotherm. The biosorption of metal ions was increased with increasing biosorbent dose and contact time while increase in pH, metal ion concentration and temperature decrease the biosorption. Thermodynamic data suggest that the bisorption process was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic.

<p>Herein, the removal of heavy metals on thiol modified oak charcoal was investigated. The modified charcoal was characterized by X-ray diffraction, granulometric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Then, its adsorption efficiency for the removal of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ from water was tested. The effects of several conditions on metals adsorption were investigated such as contact time, pH, electrolytes and the initial metal ions concentration. The adsorption capacities were high (197, 250 and 214 mg g-1 for Cd2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ respectively). The selectivity was also dependent on the metal ions nature and the functional group used. The mechanism of adsorption is complex where several types of interaction between metal ions and the adsorbent surface are involved.</p>

Abstract This study describes the removal of Cu (II) and Co (II) ions from mining processes wastewater using synthesis of Gelatin-cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) hydrogel membrane (GCHM). In a batch experiment, the influence of different parameters such as pH, contact time, temperature, and ratio of gelatin and CNCs was evaluated. Higher removal efficiency was obtained at ratio 3 ÷ 1 and at pH 5 and 7 for Cu (II) and Co (II), respectively, and a contact time of 120 mins and a temperature of 30°C. The experimental data fitted satisfactory to Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption of metal ions has been fit by the particle diffusion model. The results revealed that gelatin and CNCs were identified as the low-cost and promising adsorption material for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

On cause of environmental pollution is the presence of heavy metals. Heavy metal such as Cd (II), Pb (II) and Cu (II) are the metals commonly found in water pollution. The untapped shell of ketapang fruit can be used as an absorbent because it has an active side that can bind to the metal ion. From the research with batch sistem was found that the absorption efficiency of metal Cd (II), Pb (II) and Cu (II) by shell of ketapang will be optimum if done at pH 6 with contact time 60 minute for ion Cd(II), 45 minute for ion Pb (II) and 75 minute for ion Cu. The optimum stirring speed of each is 100 rpm, 150 rpm and 100 rpm. The optimum absorption efficiency occured at concentration of 10 mg/L on metal Cd (II) and Pb (II) that are 86,38 % and 98,51 % while the Cu (II) metal at 5 mg/L concentration is 94,06 % with mass of ketapang 0.1 g,0.5 g and 0.5 g each metal ion. The metal ion concentration was analyzed by AAS and the dominant functional group binding metal ions was analiyzed by FTIR Salah satu penyebab pencemaran lingkungan adalah terdapatnya logam berat. Logam berat seperti Cd, Pb dan Cu merupakan logam yang sering ditemukan dalam pencemaran air. Cangkang buah ketapang yang tidak termanfaatkan dapat dijadikan sebagai penyerap karena mempunyai sisi aktif yang dapat berikatan dengan ion logam. Dari penelitian dengan sistem batch didapatkan bahwa efisiensi penyerapan ion logam Cd (II), Pb (II) dan Cu II) oleh cangkang buah ketapang akan optimum jika dilakukan pada pH 6 dengan waktu kontak 60 menit untuk ion Cd (II), 45 menit untuk ion Pb (II) dan 75 menit untuk ion Cu (II). Kecepatan pengadukan optimum masing-masingnya adalah 100 rpm, 150 rpm dan 100 rpm. Efisiensi penyerapan optimum terjadi pada konsentrasi 10 mg/L pada logam Cd(II) dan Pb (II) yaitu 86,38 % dan 98, 51 %, sedangkan logam Cu (II) terjadi pada konsentrasi 5 mg/L yaitu 94,06 % dengan massa cangkang buah ketapang 0.1 g, 0.5 dan 0.5 g pada masing-masing ion logam. Konsentrasi ion logam dianalisis dengan Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom dan gugus fungsi dominan yang mengikat ion logam dianalisis dengan FTIR.

Abstract Utilization of agricultural waste material with approach to enhance the heavy metal remediation properties by carbonizing the biomass at nano size particles has been explored in present investigation from aqueous solutions. In this study the lignocellulosic, nitrogenous agricultural waste biomass Delbergia sissoo pods (DSP) has been tried for sequestering of Cd (II), Pb (II) and Ni (II) metal ions from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were performed for removal of targeted metal ions keeping in consideration the preliminary affecting parameters such as effect of adsorption dose, pH, initial metal ion concentration, stirring speed and contact time. The sorption studies were analyzed by using, Freundlic isotherm and Langmuir isotherm models. The kinetics of the process was evaluated by pseudo pseudo-first order and pseudo second order kinetic models. Studies reveal that the equilibrium was achieved with in 30 min of the contact time at optimized parameters. Analytical studies of biosorbent were done by means of FT-IR, SEM and XRD. Desorption experiments were carried out using HCl solution with a view to regenerate the spent adsorbent and to recover the adsorbed metal ions.

The removal of heavy metals from wastewaters is a matter of paramount importance due to the fact that their high toxicity causes major environmental pollution problems. One of the most efficient, applicable and low cost methods for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions is that of their adsorption on an inorganic adsorbent. In order to achieve high efficiency, it is important to understand the influence of the solution parameters on the extent of the adsorption, as well as the kinetics of the adsorption. In the present work, the adsorption of Cu(II) species onto TiO2 surface was studied. It was found that the adsorption is a rapid process and it is not affected by the value of ionic strength. In addition, it was found that by increasing the pH, the adsorbed amount of Cu2+ ions and the value of the adsorption constant increase, whereas the value of the lateral interaction energy decreases.

A study of removal of heavy metal ions from heavy metal contaminated water using agro-waste was carried out with Musa paradisiaca peels as test adsorbent. The study was carried by adding known quantities of lead (II) ions and cadmium (II) ions each and respectively into specific volume of water and adding specific dose of the test adsorbent into the heavy metal ion solution, and the mixture was agitated for a specific period of time and then the concentration of the metal ion remaining in the solution was determined with Perkin Elmer Atomic absorption spectrophotometer model 2380. The effect of contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature were considered. From the effect of contact time results equilibrium concentration was established at 60minutes. The percentage removal of these metal ions studied, were all above 90%. Adsorption and percentage removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from their aqueous solutions were affected by change in initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dose pH and temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies confirmed the adsorption of the metal ions on the test adsorbent with good mathematical fits into Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Regression correlation (R2) values of the isotherm plots are all positive (&gt;0.9), which suggests too, that the adsorption fitted into the isotherms considered.

Hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HApC) composite has been prepared by precipitation method and used for removal of heavy metals (Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+) from aqueous solution. The HAp and 3H7C composite with HAp:chitosan ratio of 3:7 (wt%) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The SEM results showed that HAp is spherical-shaped and crystalline, while chitosan has a flat structure. SEM micrograph of 3H7C composite reveals crystalline of HAp uniformly spread over the surface of chitosan. The crystal structure of HAp is maintained in 3H7C composite. Chitosan affects the adsorption capacity of HAp for heavy metal ions; it binds the metal ions as well as HAp. The kinetic data was best described by the pseudo-second order. Surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion take place in the mechanism of adsorption process. The binding of HAp powder with chitosan made the capability of composite to removal of Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+from aqueous solution effective. The order of removal efficiency (Cr6+> Cd2+> Zn2+) was observed.
