Pb(II) Removal from Aqueous Solution by <i>Cucumissativus</i><i> </i>(Cucumber) Peel: Kinetic, Equilibrium &amp; Thermodynamic Study

Abstract: Cucumissativus peel (CSP), was investigated as a new adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution under several varying conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. Maximum metal sorption was found to occur at initial pH 5.0. The adsorption capacity of CSP was found to be 28.25mg/g for initial Pb(II) concentration of 25 mg/l at 25°C. The equilibrium data best fitted to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Batch adsorption models, based on the assumption of the pseudo first-order and pseu… Show more

“…The C max value of Pb(II) ions by the nZVI/rGO composites was higher than that of various materials reported in the previous studies suggesting the great application potential of nZVI/rGO composites for Pb(II) ions removal [9,26,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51]. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, the C max of Pb(II) ions by the nZVI/rGO composites was calculated to be 910 mg/g, which was close to the experimental value.…”

“…Djelloul and Hamdaoui (2014) successfully studied the batch and dynamic adsorption of MB over MMP with a Langmuir adsorption capacity of 333 mg/g. For removal of Pb ions from water, cucumber peel (CUP) is another good option (Pandey et al 2014).…”

“…As observed in Fig. 5, the adsorption peak at 3445 cm -1 before shifting towards 3450 cm -1 is possibly caused by the bonding of OHwith Pb (II) ions [27]. Moreover, the shifts of 2967, 1635, 1385, 1048 and 790 cm -1 to 2925, 1626, 1390, 1049 and 797 cm -1 , respectively, can be easily recognized.…”
