Isothermal, kinetics and thermodynamics studies of the biosorption of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution using the scale of croaker fish (Genyonemus lineatus)

Abstract

Biosorbent prepared from the scale of croaker fish (Genyonemus lineatus) has been used for the removal of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution in a batch system. The effects of some important parameters such as pH, initial metal concentration, temperature and biosorbent dosage on biosorption capacity were investigated. Equilibrium time for the biosorption process is 20 and 30 min at lower and higher concentrations, respectively. The process at 28 W C is in agreement with a pseudosecond-order kinetics model. The equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 14.58 mg g À1. The study showed that the sorption process depends on biomass dosage, temperature, pH and initial metal ion concentration. The calculated thermodynamics parameters (ΔG o , ΔH o and ΔS o ) indicated that the biosorption of the metal ion onto fish scale is feasible, spontaneous and exothermic in nature.

Agro waste material as ecofriendly adsorbent for the removal of Zn(II): isotherm, kinetic, thermodynamic and optimization studies

“…The biosorption experiments of Zn(II) were conducted in batch method, which permits complete evaluation of parameters that influence the adsorption process. The adsorption isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamics studies procedures follow the method earlier discussed [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

“…The Langmuir isotherm assumes monolayer coverage of adsorbate over a homogenous adsorbent surface without any interactions between the adsorbed molecules. The isotherm can be expressed as [29]:…”

“…(5)) were applied to describe the data obtain from the time dependent biosorption studies. The detail about these models had been explained elsewhere [29][30][31][32][33][34]. The least square fit was also used to obtain the parameters as described in the isotherm studies.…”

Electrocoagulation removal of anthraquinone dye Alizarin Red S from aqueous solution using aluminum electrodes: kinetics, isothermal and thermodynamics studies

“…Therefore, most treatments for such dye-laden effluents are largely inadequate; however, removal of this dye from industrial wastewaters is a crucial process, from both economic and environmental points of view [11]. Electrochemical techniques which include electrooxidation, electrochemical reduction, electrocoagulation, electroflotation [12], have been developed for the treatment of organic pollutants in waste water with higher efficiency than any other biological, physical and chemical process [13,15]. Electrocoagulation has been known for some time as a process capable of fractionating a number of organic substances in a rather efficient manner.…”
