Removal Efficiency of Potato Peels as a New Biosorbent Material for Uptake of Pb(ii) Cd(ii) and Zn(ii) From Their Aqueous Solutions

Biosorption of zinc(II) on rapeseed waste: Equilibrium studies and thermogravimetric investigations

“…The lower biosorption percentages at higher Zn(II) concentrations might be closely associated with insufficient binding sites for biosorption or to the saturation of the binding sites (Yang et al, 2010;King et al, 2008). A similar effect of the initial metal ion concentration on the biosorption of Zn(II) by dead biomass of isolated yeast species (Candida rugosa and Candida laurentii), by potato peels and by biomass of Agaricus bisporus has been reported in the recent literature (Das et al, 2012;Taha et al, 2011;Xue et al, 2013).…”

Agricultural waste peels as versatile biomass for water purification – A review

“…The biosorption ability of potato peels was also investigated for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solutions [116]. The adsorption of metal ions was found to be strongly influenced by pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature, while adsorbent particle size had no effect.…”

Kinetic study of lead (Pb2+) removal from battery manufacturing wastewater using bagasse biochar as biosorbent

“…However, modification of adsorbents for better performance may be a restricting factor in view of consumption of energy and chemicals (Gil et al 2018). Till now available studies suggest the use of readily available and cheaper materials for example agricultural wastes, industrial wastes and household wastes, algae and fungi for the removal of Pb 2+ from water (Saka et al 2011;Taha et al 2011;Ibrahim et al 2012;Reddy et al 2014;Cheraghi et al 2015).…”
