“…This agitation speed (300 rpm) was chosen as an optimum speed to be applied for other experiments. The Low speed cannot distribute the particles properly in the metal solution but accumulated [71]. This will bury some of the binding active sites of the adsorbent layer and not all of the adsorbent active sites can adsorb the metal ions.…”

In this study, the adsorption behavior of copper(II) ions from aqueous solutions onto sesame husk (SH) was investigated. The effect of different parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, adsorbate concentration, temperature and agitation speed was studied. Thermodynamic parameters, equilibrium isotherms and kinetic data have been evaluated. The functional groups and surface morphology of SH adsorbent were characterized by FTIR and SEM. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms were expressed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) adsorption models and it was found that Langmuir adsorption model fits the experimental data better than Freundlich and D-R models. The adsorption can be best described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model.

“…It also could be caused by the large surface area and the presence of various active sites in the cell walls which is dependent on a number of parameters: pH [28], heavy metal type [28], algae type [29], [30] and concentration of biomassa [28]. The active sites binding was also confirmed in other bio-adsorbent such as banana peel Hossain.al [31], macroalgae [32] and mushroom [33]. The adsorption of metals are also related to biomass which provides more availability of active sites for binding of ions and this was proved by Huang and Lin [34], Putri et al [35] and Soeprobowati & Hariyati [9].…”

Microalgae is one of the most common sources of biomass for heavy metal removal from wastewater. Spirulina platensis is one of Indonesia's blue-green algae species found in Indonesian waters and has the ability to adsorb heavy metals, but very little is used for metal adsorption. As a cost-effectiveness approach, S. platensis was selected in this study which aimed to determine the effectiveness of Cd and Pb uptake by S. platensis for 10 days experiment, using Dutatonic solution as microalgae growth medium. The method used was complete random sampling with 3 concentration variations and 3 repetitions on each metal. The concentration variations for Cd were 0.1, 1, 5 mg/L, and 1, 2, 4 mg/L for Pb. The optimum adsorption concentration was tested by AAS. Biomass and cell size (length and width) were also measured to understand the physiological effects of Cd and Pb exposure on S. platensis. The results showed that Cd was more effectively adsorbed by S. platensis than Pb which reached 91.8% (day 5) at concentrations of 1 mg/L Cd and 84.3% (day 5) at concentrations of 1 mg/L Pb. The biomass and cell size of S. platensis were not influenced by the variation of Cd concentration (p>0.05), while Pb was significantly at the 5% significance level (p <0.05). It can be assumed that Pb was more toxic than Cd for S. platensis because the weight of biomass decreased in increasing Pb concentration.

“…The HCl ions compete with Cu for binding on adsorbent sites and it may responsible for lower adsorption capacity at low pH. At higher pH (pH 9) the removal was also low when compared to the optimum conditions because the binding site of adsorbent may not active under basic conditions [12]. Therefore, pH 7 was opted for further studies.…”

-The accessibility and quality of drinking water are of importance to human health. Many harmful chemicals have been identified in drinking water supplies around the world which are considered potentially hazardous to human health. Metals are the most harmful of the chemical pollutants and are of particular concern due to their toxicities to humans. In the present study, Natural coagulants extract has been tested for copper removal from water. Analysis of the copper metal is performed before and after the treatment of water with Natural coagulant seed extract. The results showed that the natural coagulants have the efficiency in removing the copper from the water. The natural coagulants have proved that they can act as a best alternative source for chemical coagulants in wastewater treatment.
