This study showed that kaolinite clay modified with Moringa oleifera pods is a promising low cost adsorbent for the removal of metals from aqueous solution because the resultant composite has higher adsorption capacities, and hence a better metal ions removal efficiency. The efficiencies of these adsorbents for the removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solutions were studied as a function of pH, time, adsorbate concentration and adsorbent dose. Adsorption results showed that pH did significantly affect removal of heavy metal ions between pH 3 and 6. Increasing contact time and initial metal ion concentration increased the sorption capacity of the adsorbent for the metal ions. Adsorbent dosage indicated mainly surface phenomena involving sharing of electrons between the adsorbent surface and the metal ion species. The adsorption of metal ions from aqueous solutions of both metal ions at different initial metal ion concentrations reduced the initial adsorption rates of the adsorption of Pb (II) and Cd (II) by unmodified and modified kaolinite clay.

Natural water gets contaminated with heavy metal ions because of industrial effluents' discharge into the aquatic environment. As these heavy metal ions cause various health hazards, they should be removed from the aqueous solution. Heavy metal ion concentration in the aqueous solution is very less, so conventional metal removal and recovery processes cannot be applied here. The adsorption method is a great alternative to all these processes as it is a cost-effective and easy method. The use of natural, low-cost materials as adsorbents is eco-friendly also. However, metal uptake capacity of low-cost materials is very less. So, modification is required for low-cost materials to increase their efficiency. In the present review, different modification procedures adopted by different researchers have been discussed. Different low-cost materials used are sawdust, fruit and vegetable wastes, soil, minerals, etc. The modifying agents are heat, acids, bases, and other chemicals. Nevertheless, most of the studies are limited to batch tests only. Future research should be carried out on the extension of batch tests to column study for the large-scale treatment of contaminated water, and the cost of modification procedures and their impact on the environment should also be assessed.

The biosorption potential of waste biomass young fruit walnuts (YFW) as a low-cost biosorbent, processed from liqueur industry, for Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution was explored. The structural features of the biosorbent were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, which indicates the possibility that the different functional groups may be responsible for the binding of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The effects of relevant parameters such as pH (2 - 6), contact time (0 - 120 min), biosorbent dosage (2 - 20 g), initial metal ion concentration (10 - 120 mg dm-3), at a temperature of 25(C with stirring (120 rpm) and a constant ionic strength of 0,02 mol dm-3 were evaluated in batch experiments. The sorption equilibrium of Pb(II) ion (when 84 % of metal ions were sorbed at an initial concentration of 15 mg dm-3) was achieved within the pH range 4 - 5 after 50 min. Kinetic data were best described by the pseudo-second order model. Removal efficiency of Pb(II) ion rapidly increased with increasing biosorbent dose from 2.0 to 8.0 g per dm-3 of sorbate. Optimal biosorbent dose was set to 6.0 g per dm3 of sorbate. An increase in the initial metal concentration increases the biosorption capacity. The sorption data of investigated metal ion are fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 ? 0.990). The maximum monolayer biosorption capacity of waste biomass YFW for Pb(II) ion, at 25.0 ? 0.5?C and pH 4.5, was found to be 19.23 mgg-1. This available waste biomass is efficient in the uptake of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution and could be used as a low-cost and an alternative biosorbent for the treatment of wastewater streams bearing these metal ions.

In the present study, batch mode adsorption was carried out to investigate the adsorption capacity of dried bael flowers (Aegle marmelos) for the adsorptive removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by varying agitation time, initial metal concentration, the dose of adsorbent, temperature, and initial pH of the Cu(II) ion solution. The percentage removal of 98.7% was observed at 50 ppm initial metal ion concentration, 0.5 g/100.00 cm3 adsorbent dosage, within the contact time of 120 minutes at 30 ºC in the pH range of 4 – 7. The sorption processes of Cu(II) ions was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir isotherm had a good fit with the experimental data with 0.97 of correlation coefficient (R2), and the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 23.14 mg g-1 at 30 ºC. The results obtained from sorption thermodynamic studies suggested that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous. SEM analysis showed tubular voids on the adsorbent. FTIR studies indicated the presence of functional groups like hydroxyl, –C-O, –C=O, and amide groups in the adsorbent, which can probably involve in metal ion adsorption. Therefore, dried bael flowers can be considered an effective low-cost adsorbent for treating Cu(II) ions.

In recent years, the interest in waste water treatment increased to preserve the environment. The objective of this study is the removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution by treated Phragmites biomass (TPB). TPB was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) which indicates the presence of functional groups that may be responsible of metal adsorption such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, sulfonate and carboxylate. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface area analysis using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (BET) illustrated that TPB is nonporous with a small surface area. The influences of various experimental factors were investigated; the proposed method recommended the extraction of Pb+2 and Cd+2 metal ions by TPB at pH 5.0. A contact time of 60 and 45 min was required for the adsorption 50 mL (50 ppm) Pb+2 and Cd+2 respectively to reach equilibrium when 0.10 g TPB was used. The optimum TPB dosage was 0.20 g for adsorption both metal ions when adsorbate solution was 50 mL (50 ppm). Particle sizes of 0.125–0.212 mm showed the best metal ion removal of both metal ions. Thermodynamic study illustrated that both metal ions correlate more with Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, chemisorption of Pb+2 and Cd+2 on TPB was more likely according to kinetic study data.

The powder of mosambi fruit peelings (PMFP) was used as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal like Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions was studied using batch tests. The influence of physico-chemical key parameters such as the initial metal ion concentration, pH, agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and the particle size of adsorbent has been considered in batch tests. Sorbent ability to adsorb Cr (VI) ions was examined and the mechanism involved in the process investigated. The optimum results were determined at an initial metal ion concentration was 10 mg/lit, pH=2, agitation time – 60 min, an adsorbent dose (150 mg/50 ml) and the particle size (0.6 mm). The % adsorption, Langmuir constants [Q0=7.51(mg/g) and b=1.69(mg/lit)] Freundlich constant(Kf=2.94), Lagergren rate constants (Kad(min-1)=5.75 x 10-2) for [Cr(VI)] 10 mg/lit were determined for the adsorption system as a function of sorbate concentration. The equilibrium data obtained were tested using Langmuir, Freundlich adsorption isotherm models, and the kinetic data obtained were fitted to pseudo first order model.

The hydroxyapatite was successfully synthesized, characterized, and used as an alternative low-cost adsorbent material to study the adsorption behavior of La(III) and Eu(III) ions from nitrate aqueous solutions as a function of contact time, initial metal ion concentration, pH, and temperature by using a bath technique. The kinetic data correspond very well to the pseudo-second-order equation, and in both cases the uptake was affected by intraparticle diffusion. Isotherm adsorption data were well fitted by the Freundlich model equation with1/n>1, indicating a multilayer and cooperative-type adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption systems were determinated at 293, 303, 313, and 323 K. These parameters show that adsorptions of La(III) and Eu(III) ions on hydroxyapatite are endothermic and spontaneous processes. The adsorption was found to follow the order Eu(III) > La(III) and is dependent on ion concentration, pH, and temperature.

The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the optimization conditions such as kinetic and equilibrium isotherm models involved in the removal of Ni(II) from the aqueous solutions byTrichoderma viride. The biosorbent was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of pH, biomass dosage, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature. The maximum Ni(II) biosorption was obtained at pH 4.5. The equilibrium data were better fit by the Langmuir isotherm model than by the Freundlich isotherm. The kinetic studies indicate that the biosorption process of the metal ion Ni(II) has followed well the pseudo-second-order model. The sum of the square errors (SSE) and chi-square (χ2) tests were also carried out to find the best fit kinetic model and adsorption isotherm. The maximum biosorption capacity (qm) ofT.viridebiomass was found to be 47.6 mg/g for Ni(II) ion. Therefore, it can be concluded thatT.viridebiomass was effective and low-cost potential adsorbent to remove the toxic metal Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. The recovery process of Ni(II) fromT.viridebiomass was found to be higher than 98% by using 0.25 M HNO3. Besides the application of removal of toxic metal Ni(II) from aqueous solutions, the biosorbentT.viridecan be reused for five consecutive sorption-desorption cycles was determined.

AbstractStudies on the adsorption of Pb(II) on plantain peels biochar (PPB) was conducted. The carbonized and activated, biochar was characterized using Braunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and x-ray diffraction crystallography (XRD). BET analysis of the PPB indicated that the pore size (cc/g) and pore surface area (m2/g) was 8.79 and 16.69 respectively. Result of the XRD evaluated through Debye-Scherrer equation, showed a nanostructure with crystallite size of 14.56 nm. Effects of initial metal ion concentration, pH, and contact time were studied in a batch reaction process. Results showed that the adsorption of lead from aqueous solution increased with an increase in pH and initial concentration. Equilibrium modeling studies suggested that the data fitted mainly to the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetic data tested using various kinetic models fitted the Weber and Morris intraparticle diffusion model implicating pore diffusion as the main rate limiting step. The sorption studies indicated the potential of plantain peel biochar as an effective, efficient and low cost adsorbent for remediating lead (II) ions contaminated environment.

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.

Sorption techniques are widely used to remove heavy metal ions from large volume of aqueous solutions, this plays a vital role in controlling environmental pollution. Herein, the sorption of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ with blended membrane of sodium alginate (Na-Alg) and immobilized karkashi leaves (IKAL) from aqueous solution was investigated at optimum conditions for effectiveness. Sorption capacities of the membrane for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were found to be 86.80, 40.60 and 39.55% respectively. The sorption behavior with respect to initial pH, ionic strength, temperature, contact time and initial metal ion concentration was investigated for optimum sorption conditions. Maximum sorption was found to occur at pH 3.0 for all the metal ions studied. Results showed that metallic ion uptake by the blended membrane declined with increase in ionic strength. This trend was also observed at an increased temperature of 50ºC for Pb2+, Cu2+ and 40ºC for Zn2+. Increase in initial metal ion concentration led to increase in metal ion uptake. At the end of the chemical remediation, the blended membrane was found to be effective to some extent, with the reaction being exothermic.
