Chemically activated carbon production from agricultural waste of chickpea and its application for heavy metal adsorption: equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to produce activated carbons (ACs) from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) husks by chemical activation (KOH and K 2 CO 3) and to examine their feasibility in removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. In the case of KOH impregnation with a ratio of 50 wt%, the most developed porosity was achieved, with a BET surface area of 2082 m 2 /g and a total pore volume of 1.07 cm 3 /g. By using the product, the maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 135.8, 59.6, and 56.2 mg/g for Pb(II)… Show more

“…This accounted for the reason why we selected 0.1 g of CS for the adsorption study to ensure optimum use of the adsorption sites. A similar trend was also documented by other researchers in the removal of heavy metals (Abdus-Salam and Adekola 2018; Bayuo et al 2019;Ozsin et al 2019), and dyes (Terangpi and Chakraborty 2016;Uddin et al 2017) from polluted water.…”

“…The results illustrate that, HSOD has a very small specific surface area 2.35 (m 2 /g) compared to the surface area of SSOD 27.29 (m 2 /g), this shows that synthesis via topotactic conversion produces significantly enhanced specific surface area. The larger specific surface area implies increased adsorption capacity, hence more particles from wastewater may be trapped on the surface of the SSOD than HSOD [ 31 , 32 ]. SSOD has larger pore volume than HSOD implying that SSOD has more accessible pores than HSOD.…”

“…Activated carbon adsorption is an important and efficient technique for removing contaminants from waste residues treatments. Although many materials are explored for the production of activated carbon, raw materials are widely used due to their wide availability in the environment and reduced costs, making them attractive options and sources of raw materials for activated carbon production [34].…”
