Adsorption of metal cations on wool carbonising waste. Part 1. Adsorption isotherms

Abstract: The adsorption of various metal ions (Hg2+, Ag+, Ni2+, Cr3+, A13+, Zn2+ and Pb2+) on wool carbonising waste has been investigated to assess its possible use as an adsorbent in water pollution control. Isotherms show that few metal ions (Hg2+, Ag+ and Ni2+) are adsorbed satisfactorily by this material. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the plant material within the carbonising waste is higher than that of the keratin fraction. Equations fitting the experimental data can be used for the design of processing u… Show more

“…The characteristics of the wool carbonising waste used have been described previously. 1 The elemental analyses of the components of the carbonising waste were carried out in triplicate. The slight decrease in the nitrogen content of the keratin fibres ( Table 1) can be assigned to the peptidic hydrolysis.7-9 The increase in the sulphur content is likely to be a result of the sulphonation of the wool fibres.…”

“…Among these techniques, adsorption is one of the most commonly used methods due to its high efficiency and easy operation (14). In recent years, a number of adsorbents such as iron coated sand, iron coated granular activated carbon (15), modified chitin (16), fly ash (17), low grade bituminous coal (18), wool carbonizing waste (19), rice husk (20), kaolinite (12), Zeolite (21), paper mill sludge (17), bagasse (22), green algae (23,24), bone char (25) and Lignite (26) was used in the heavy metal removal from effluents. In the present work, wheat husk was taken for the preparation of…”
