In this article, the production of low-cost adsorbents removal of lead from an aqueous solution from tea and coffee waste and a comparison study between them was investigated utilizing a continuous process to explore the kinetic behavior of the created adsorbent. After charring tea and coffee waste, there was a considerable improvement in surface area and other physical properties such as porosity, density, and bulk density. In the continuous system, several parameters such as (bed height, particle size, and flow rate) were tested, and the optimal circumstances (for each experiment) were held constant for the subsequent sets of tests. The optimal circumstances were achieved as follows (bed height=8cm, particle size=250µm, and flow rate 0.5L/hr)and a random set of experiments showed a removal degree efficiency of lead reaching (99 %). As a result, raising bed height and pH will raise the breakpoint value. While reducing the flow rate, initial concentration, and particle size). Increasing the bed height increases the breakpoint value. Particle size will increase the breakpoint as the flow rate decreases. Keywords: Adsorption, Heavy metals , Continuous system, , Lead ions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
