Adsorption of Iron and Manganese Using Low Cost Materials as Adsorbents

Abstract: Removal of toxic metals (iron and manganese) ions from aqueous solution by adsorption was studied. Batch tests were used to study the removal of each metal either as a single component or both metals as multicomponent. The adsorbents used are low cost materials namely; palm fruit bunch and maize cobs. The adsorption isotherms proved the favor ability of the adsorbent used. Removal of iron ion by adsorption on palm fruit bunch and maize cobs was in the range of 80-57%, and for magnesium ion in the range of 79-5… Show more

“…The adsorption phenomenon has still been found economically appealing for removal of toxic metal ions from wastewater by choosing some adsorbents under optimum operating parameters. Several studies on adsorption of Fe 3+ by zeolite [2], activated carbon [4], tannic resins [5], palm fruit bunch [6] etc. were reported earlier.…”

“…Hematoma, an essential tumour of the liver, has turned into the well-kenned reason for death among patients with hemochromatosis [3]. Later past has visually perceived astronomically immense misuse of an assortment of sorbents for the compelling voidance of Fe (III) from modern effluents and ground dihydrogen monoxide [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. As of tardy ecological scientific experts have concentrated their exploration on abusing biopolymers as proficient contrivance for partition of Fe (III) like metal particles due to their simple accessibility, ease, propinquity of an assortment of functionalities, their non-perilous nature, and so on [11].…”

“…The environmental protection Agency (EPA) determines the maximum contamination levels of iron and manganese by 0.3 mg/L and 0.4 mg/L respectively, due to their health effects. Various physicochemical methods have been used to remove and adjust the heavy metals in drinking water [19][20][21][22][23] , ion exchange 24 . The adsorption process is one of the most popular technologies due to its effective and economic properties 25,26 .…”
