“…Excessive ingestion of these metals by humans can cause accumulative poisoning, cancer, nervous system damage and ultimately death (Corpacioglu and Huang, 1987;Issabayeva et al, 2007). In Malaysia, industries dealing in electroplating, electronics, batteries and metal treatment/fabrication are the major sources of heavy metals contamination.…”

“…A number of adsorbent materials have been studied for their ability to remove heavy metals and they have been sourced from natural materials and biological wastes of industrial processes (Igbinosa and Okoh, 2009). These materials including: activated carbon (Uzun and Guzel, 2000;Goel et al, 2005;Issabayeva et al, 2007;Mondal et al, 2008), chitosan and carrageenan (Bong et al, 2004), lignite (Allen et al, 1997), kaolinite and ballclay (Chantawong et al, 2003), diatomite (Ulmanu et al, 2003), coconut fiber (Igwe et al 2007) and limestone (Aziz et al, 2004). However, adsorption by activated carbon had been reported as a technically and economically viable technology for heavy metal removal (Huang and Morehart, 1991;Bong et al, 2004).…”

Granular activated carbon produced from palm kernel shell was used as adsorbent to remove copper, nickel and lead ions from a synthesized industrial wastewater.Laboratory experimental investigation was carried out to identify the effect of pH and contact time on adsorption of lead, copper and nickel from the mixed metals solution.Equilibrium adsorption experiments at ambient room temperature were carried out and fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich models. Results showed that pH 5 was the most suitable, while the maximum adsorbent capacity was at a dosage of 1 g/L, recording a sorption capacity of 1.337 mg/g for lead, 1.581 mg/g for copper and 0.130 mg/g for nickel. The percentage metal removal approached equilibrium within 30 min for lead, 75 min for copper and nickel, with lead recording 100 %, copper 97 % and nickel 55 % removal, having a trend of Pb 2+ > Cu 2+ > Ni 2+ . Langmuir model had higher R 2 values of 0.977, 0.817 and 0.978 for copper, nickel and lead respectively, which fitted the equilibrium adsorption process more than Freundlich model for the three metals.

Abstract. This study focusing in producing activated carbon (AC) from honeydew rind, a low-cost agricultural by-product, by chemical activation using H 2 SO 4 used as an adsorbent for the removal of zinc ions from aqueous solutions. Preparation method on the effect of surface morphology at different carbonization temperatures 450 o C, 470 o C, 490 o C and 510 o C was studied. The AC was characterized using FEM-SEM, FTIR and TG. Batch adsorptions were carried out to optimize different variables such as zinc concentration, contact time, pH and biosorbent amount. AAS analysis showed that the maximum adsorption of zinc onto honeydew rind AC was achieved at the conditions of pH 7.5, 1.5g biosorbent amount, 1000mg/L initial zn concentration and 45min contact time. The maximum metal uptake and maximum removal were 66.55mg/g and 99.79% respectively. IntroductionThe persistent and non biodegradable of heavy metals had triggered in depth study on removal of heavy metals in the receiving environmental. Zinc (Zn) is one of heavy metals residues from various massive chemical industries such as batteries, tanneries, metal plating, agrochemicals, petrochemicals and mining [1,2]. Daily recommended dose of Zn for men, women, children and infant is 15mg, 12mg, 10mg and 5mg respectively [3]. The residue of Zn enters the environment mainly through water stream as untreated wastewater. People who live near waste sites containing are likely to be exposed to zinc through breathing, drinking contaminated drinking water and the polluted water. There is therefore essential to remove this metal from wastewater in order to prevent from entering natural water bodies by polluted water containing the harmful metal [4,5].At present, a list of technologies have been designed and employed for heavy metal removal purpose namely precipitation, biological treatment, membrane-filtration process, fenton reagent and adsorption [6,7]. Despite of the efficiency in pollutants removal these methods have significant disadvantages, such as high chemical and energy requirements, hazardous sludge formation, low efficiency at low concentration of pollutants and high cost at large scale [8]. Nevertheless, despite of high cost of operational, adsorption using AC as adsorbent is the most efficient technique and produces the least drawbacks. Hence there is a new interest among researchers on exploring alternative precursor to produce a low cost adsorbent for wastewater treatment.Activated carbons (AC) are principally amorphous solids with large internal surface areas and pore volumes. This characteristic fit to many applications such as separation and purification technologies, catalytic processes, decolorization and wastewater treament [9,10]. To date, due to their adsorptive capacity, AC has been well known in the sorption of chemical species from aqueous solutions as adsorbent [11]. In spite of the fact that charcoal has been the oldest adsorbent known in wastewater treatment but the cost of operational of commercial ACs from this material is still high at US$2...

“…Numerous waste biomass sources are available in nature in which some experimental adsorption properties have been reported e.g rice husk [12 ], saw dust [13]- [15], tea and coffee waste [16]- [18],orange peel [19] peanut shells [20], activated carbon [21]- [22] dry tree leaves and barks [23]- [25]. When compared with other low cost adsorbents, the results of the present study indicate that adsorbent prepared from Alisma plantago aquatica has better adsorption capacity in almost all cases.…”

Abstract-Adsorption is an effective method to remove heavy metals from wastewater. Alisma Plantago Aquatica was used as an adsorbent to remove Zn(II) from aqueous solution. The equilibrium adsorption were analysed using three isotherm models.The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order model. Isotherm studies have been used to determine the thermodynamic parameters of the process. Temperature change in the range 20-50 o C affected the adsorption capacity. From enthalpy data revealed that the adsorption is endothermic in nature. IR spectrum analysis suggested the presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl and carbonyl groups which are participating in the adsorption of metal ions. The performance of continuous flow packed bed adsorption systems with the biomass was evaluated by plotting the breakthrough curves. It was observed that the breakthrough was strong function of the flow rates and the height of the packed bed. The zinc removal yield decreased with increasing flow rates and initial zinc concentration. Adam Bohart and Wolborska models were applied to the experimental data from dynamic studies on packed bed and were observed to fit the data well with good correlations. The model parameters including the mass transfer coefficient and kinetic parameter were estimated.
