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.

The current study deals with the examination of the capacity of Schiff base anchored with silver nanoparticles for removal of cadmium(II) ions from industrial wastewater. Schiff base was synthesized using refluxing of salicylaldehyde and 4-aminoantipyrine in alcoholic medium. The characterization of Schiff base were studied by elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR, UV-visible and mass spectral studies. The silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the chemical reduction method and characterized. Then, silver nanoparticles anchored to the Schiff base by suitable method and again characterized. Peanut shells were used as solid phase for removal of Cd(II) ions. The effects of several parameters to optimize the adsorption of Cd(II) ions on solid phase, including pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and adsorbent weight were investigated. The maximum removal efficiency of Cd(II) ions on solid phase using Ag nano@Schiff base was achieved under experimental conditions of pH 6 (% removal = 81%), contact time of 15 min (% removal = 93%), initial metal ion concentration of 0.5 ppm (% removal = 95%) and adsorbent weight of 3 mg (% removal = 89%). The results showed that extraction of Cd2+ on AgNPs@Schiff base follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm.

In the present study, removal efficiency (%) of Rubus ellipticus leaves (REL) as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions was investigated. Different parameters i.e., pH, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration were investigated to obtain the optimum adsorption efficiency. At pH 4, a maximum adsorption was 84.6, 80.2 and 74.5 % for Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions, respectively. The maximum adsorption of all the three metal ions obtained at contact time (75 min), initial metal ion concentration (10 mg/L), temperature (25 ºC) and adsorbent dose (5.0 g). The equilibrium adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions at different temperature was described by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms. The equilibrium data fitted well the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters like Gibb′s free energy (ΔGº), enthalpy (ΔHº) and entropy (ΔSº) were also calculated. The calculated parameters indicated that adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions onto Rubus ellipticus leaves (REL) was spontaneous (ΔGº < 0), endothermic (ΔGº > 0). The feasibility of the process was evident from the positive value of ΔSº.

Abstract In the present investigation, Achromobacter denitrifacians was isolated from industrial wastewater and used in the degradation of para nitro-phenol. Experiments were made as a function of different carbon sources, organic and inorganic nitrogen sources and metal ions to analyse the removal efficiency of para nitro-phenol present in the industrial wastewater sources. Observations revealed that the rate of phenol biodegradation was significantly affected by pH, temperature of incubation, glucose, peptone and metal ion concentration. The optimal conditions for phenol removal was found to be pH of 7.5, temperature, 35 °C and 0.25 gL−1 supplemented glucose level, 0.25 gL−1 supplemented peptone level, and 0.01 gL−1 zinc ion. The key importance of the present study is the utilization of native bacterial strain isolated from the industrial effluent water itself having an impending role in the bioremediation process of phenol.

Pomegranate Peel

Some agricultural byproducts are useful for solving wastewater pollution problems. These byproducts are of low cost and are effective and ecofriendly. The study aim was to investigate the possibility of using pomegranate peel (PP) and date pit (DP) activated carbon (PPAC and DPAC, respectively) as sorbents to remove Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Agricultural wastes of DPs and PPs were subjected to carbonization and chemical activation with H3PO4 (60%) and ZnCl2 and used as adsorbents to remove Cd(II) and Pb(II) from their aqueous solutions. The physical characterizations of PPAC and DPAC, including determination of surface area, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, were performed. The following factors affected adsorption: solution pH, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time. These factors were studied to identify the optimal adsorption conditions. The results showed that the maximum adsorptions of Cd(II) and Pb(II) were achieved at pH ranging from 6 to 6.5, 90 min contact time, and 0.5 g/L for PPAC and 1 g/L for DPAC dosage. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiencies for both Pb(II) and Cd(II) were higher for PPAC than for DPAC. However, the recorded Qmax values for PPAC were 68.6 and 53.8 mg/g for Pb(II) and Cd(II) and for DPAC were 34.18 and 32.90 mg/g for Pb(II) and Cd(II), respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model fit the adsorption data better than the Freundlich model. Kinetically, the adsorption reaction followed a pseudo-second-order reaction model, with qe ranging from 12.0 to 22.37 mg/g and an R2 value of 0.99.

Abstract In the present study, the potential of Pinus roxburghii bark as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals such as Cr(VI), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solution at ambient temperature was investigated. Adsorption capacity of the material was found to be 4.15, 3.89, 3.81, 3.53 and 3.01 mg g-1 for Cr(VI), Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II), respectively, at an initial metal ion concentration of 50 mg L-1 at pH 6.5. The effect of concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, solution pH, adsorbent particle size, salinity and hardness on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were studied in detail in batch experiments. The equilibrium contact time for Cr(VI) adsorption was found to be 1 h. Adsorption equilibrium data fit well to the Freundlich isotherm in the concentration range studied. The maximum adsorption (96.2%) was recorded at pH 3 for the initial Cr(VI) concentration of 50 mg L-1. The adsorbed metal ions from industrial wastewater were recovered using 0.1 M HCl solution. The column operation was found to be more effective compared to batch process. The percent recovery of Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater by column operation and batch process was found to be 85.8 and 65%, respectively. The results show that Pinus roxburghii bark can be used as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal and recovery of Cr(VI) from wastewater.

In the present study, we have synthesized α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles by using the leaf extract of Syzygium cumini. The applying green synthetic process is very efficient, low cost and can be applicable in the large scale operations. The freshly synthesized dried nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, FT-IR, XRD and FESEM. The α-Fe2O3 (haematite) nanoparticles have now used as effective nano-adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions from synthetically prepared wastewater under batch conditions. The batch system included contact time, dosage, pH, concentration and temperature. The maximum adsorption efficiency was found at optimized conditions such as contact time 60 min, higher acidic pH 6, higher dosage of sorbent 1.0 g and lower metal ion concentration 10 mg/L. For Pb(II) ions, 59.79, 85.10, 51.39 and 36.81 % adsorption was found at contact time 60 minutes, pH 6, dosage 1 g and metal ion concentration 10 mg/L. Similarly, for Cu(II) ions at same conditions, the adsorption was found to be 49.88, 69.73, 53.77 and 20.68 %, respectively. The equilibrium data of adsorption have been tested by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The adsorption data were best fitted to Langmuir isotherm model with the regression values R2 = 0.984 for Cu(II) ions and R2 = 0.9383 for Pb(II) ions. The adsorption capacity of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles for Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions was found 7.535 and 6.480 mg/g, respectively.

The biosorption of Cd (II), As (III) and Pb (II) ions from solution utilizing Vigna unguiculata leaf powders (VULP) as a low cost biosorbent was studied. The influence of temperature, metal ion concentration, biosorbent dose, contact time and pH on the sequestration process was examined by batch procedure. Increase in the biosorption of the three metal ions with increased pH and biosorbent dosage was obtained in this study.Equilibrium contact time of 20, 40 and 50min was achieved for Cd(II), As (III) and Pb(II) ions and biosorption was in the order As(III)> Cd(II) >Pb(II). Isotherm analysis was performed by the application of Langmuir, Freundlich, Flory-Huggins and Scatchard models. The Langmuir model gave the best fit with maximum monolayer biosorption capacity of 109.1, 105 and 119.3 mg/g for Cd (II), Pb (II) and As (III) respectively. Scatchard model confirmed a homogenous surface of VULP and monolayer biosorption of metal ions. Pseudo second order model showed the best fit compared to pseudo first order, Elovich and Banghams kinetic models according to kinetic analysis. Thermodynamics study revealed a feasibly, spontaneous exothermic biosorption process. The result showed good potentials of VULP as suitable cheap biosorbent for attenuation of Cd (II), Pb(II) and As (III) ions from polluted wastewaters.

Global Threat

Abstract Heavy metal persistence in the environment is a global threat and researchers continue to explore low-cost effective technologies for removing these contaminants from the environment. In this study, the ability of Caladium bicolor (biosorbent) to remove lead, zinc, copper and mercury ions from the contaminated water was explored. At 2 ppm metal ion concentration, the biosorbent was able to remove all four metal ions with a low removal efficiency of 79.5% for Hg2+ and a high of 99.5% for Pb2+. The effectiveness of the biosorbent, however, decreased when the metal ion concentration was increased beyond 2 ppm. Specifically, the biosorbent’s effectiveness was studied at 5, 10, 25, and 50 ppm metal ion concentrations. Interestingly, the decrease in effectiveness with regards to Pb2+ was relatively marginal, suggesting a stronger preference of Caladium bicolor for lead. In order to determine optimal conditions required for effective adsorption or high metal removal efficiencies, the effect of biosorbent mass and contact time for equilibration of the biosorbent with the metals were also investigated. While 30 min contact time was found to be adequate for effective metal removal, there was no significant difference in the results obtained when 0.5 g vs 2.0 g of the biosorbent was used. FT-IR analyses also revealed that similar functional groups were responsible for the removal of all the four metals studied.

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.
