“…Several researchers have studied the removal of heavy metals with natural limestone [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In recent years, various biogenic calcium carbonate wastes have been used as low-cost adsorbents to remove heavy metals from solutions such as eggshells [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], oyster shells [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], crustacean shells [ 23 ], clam shells [ 24 ], Anadara inaequivalvis shells [ 25 ], golden apple snail shells [ 26 ] and cockle shells [ 27 ].…”

This study defines the optimal parameters that allow the use of waste mollusk shells (WS) to remove heavy metals from three mining and metallurgical leachates. First, the influence of parameters such as pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, adsorbent dose and the presence of co-ions in Cu2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ adsorption was investigated in synthetic solutions. Metal uptake was found to be dependent on the initial pH of the solution, the removal rate increasing with the increase in pH, showing the highest affinity at pH 5–6. The removal efficiency at lower concentrations was greater than at higher values. The competitive adsorption results on bimetallic solutions showed that the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was restricted by the presence of other ions and suppressed the uptake of heavy metals compared to the single adsorption. Cu2+ was the metal that most inhibited the removal of Cd2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+. The Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit to the experimental data for Cu2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ and the Freundlich isotherm, for Ni2+. The data showed that the maximum adsorption capacity amax for Zn2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+, was 526.32 mg g−1, 555.56 mg g−1 and 769.23 mg g−1, respectively. Sorption kinetics data best fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results obtained in the tests with three mining and metallurgical leachates showed that WS were effective in simultaneously removing several heavy metals ions such as Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, Ni, As and Se.

“…Such materials are called biosorbents (ABDELFATTAH et al, 2016;ROYER, 2009;MESTRE et al, 2009). Some studies show that crustacean carapace can be used as a biosorbent of toxic and potentially toxic metals (ZULUAGA et al, 2019;BENGUELLA;BENAISSA, 2002). Because the crustacean carapaces consist mainly of calcium carbonate combined with chitin, they form as a strong composite, which has been widely discarded as a by-product of shrimp trawling.…”

Studies indicate that copper and cadmium discarded by electroplating, tanning, alloy and storage battery industries can be harmful to aquatic organisms, then they must be removed from the effluents to protect water resources. Adsorption-based techniques has shown to be efficient in the treatment of such effluents. Besides activated charcoal, other adsorbents have potential in the removal of metals such as from by-products of agricultural, industrial and fishing activities. Brachyurans are considered a by-catch in shrimp trawl fisheries, and thus their carapace usage may decrease the environmental impact associated to its disposal. The objective of this study was to characterize the material and elucidate its adsorptive properties to remove metal ions from aqueous medium. By Fourier Transform in Infrared Region (FTIR) spectroscopy and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance analyses (13C NMR), it was possible to identify important functional groups to act as metals adsorption sites. Point of Zero Charge (PZC) was verified at a pH of 10.14. The optimal pH was obtained around 2.0. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption of Cu(II) and Cd(II) was both achieved after 10 min of reaction, fitting both adsorption isotherms into pseudo-second order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 0.70 mmol g-1 (or 44.48 mg g-1) for copper and 0.43 mmol g-1 (or 48.33 mg g-1) for cadmium. The experimental data were evaluated in terms of the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the first model better described the adsorptive behaviour towards both metal species. According to these results, this potential biosorbent can be applied in Solid Phase Extraction.

“…Chromium biosorption from Cr(VI) solutions has been extensively investigated. The biological materials that have been used as biosorbents are diverse; the biomass of agricultural, forestry, and fishery wastes and byproducts, as well as the biomass from fermentation industries, exhibit the greatest potential as effective biosorbents because they are commonly available, inexpensive, and have high biosorption capacity [ 5 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contamination poses serious health and environmental risks. Chromium biosorption has been employed as an effective means of eradicating Cr(VI) contamination. However, research on chromium desorption from chromium-loaded biosorbents is scarce despite its importance in facilitating industrial-scale chromium biosorption. In this study, single- and two-stage chromium desorption from chromium-loaded Cupressus lusitanica bark (CLB) was conducted. Thirty eluent solutions were evaluated first; the highest single-stage chromium desorption efficiencies were achieved when eluent solutions of 0.5 M NaOH, 0.5 M H2SO4, and 0.5 M H2C2O4 were used. Subsequently, two-stage kinetic studies of chromium desorption were performed. The results revealed that using 0.5 M NaOH solution in the first stage and 0.5 M H2C2O4 in the second stage enabled the recovery of almost all the chromium initially bound to CLB (desorption efficiency = 95.9–96.1%) within long (168 h) and short (3 h) desorption periods at each stage. This study clearly demonstrated that the oxidation state of the recovered chromium depends on the chemical nature and concentration of the eluent solution. The results suggest the possible regeneration of chromium-loaded CLB for its subsequent use in other biosorption/desorption cycles.
