Removal of Lead and Cadmium Ions from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption on a Low-Cost Phragmites Biomass

Abstract: In recent years, the interest in waste water treatment increased to preserve the environment. The objective of this study is the removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution by treated Phragmites biomass (TPB). TPB was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) which indicates the presence of functional groups that may be responsible of metal adsorption such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, sulfonate and carboxylate. Characterization by scan… Show more

“…The particle size at adsorption is a determining parameter, as it is related to the surface contact area of the bio-adsorbent and the availability of active sites [15], [35]. In Figure 4, the effect of particle size for Pb(II) and Ni(II) using lemon peel is shown.…”

“…In this sense, adsorption processes are presented as an alternative, since when combined with an appropriate desorption step and avoiding the problem of adsorbent removal, they are an effective, versatile, and low-cost method that makes it sustainable for the removal of contaminants. However, commercial adsorbents tend to be expensive, so new economical adsorbents with high removal capacity have been examined [7], [15].…”

“…Cadmium (II) is a transition metal, part of group II-B with an atomic weight of 112.41 g/mol. It is obtained as a by-product of the metallurgical treatment of zinc and lead, from cadmium sulphide (Amro et al, 2019), pollutes the environment from smelting and refining, and for its many industrial applications, for its resistance to corrosion, in electroplating, galvanizing and galvanizing, as well as its use in plastics, pigments to create dyes, nickel and cadmium batteries, manufacture of electrical conductors, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, photocells, tires, automotive radiators, electronic components, heating elements and fertilizers (Amro et al, 2019;Yuan et al, 2019). It is a toxic, nonbiodegradable metal, accumulating in living beings, and its ingestion in small concentrations can produce from stomach irritation, cause bone degradation, inhibit the functioning of the kidneys, liver and lungs, cancer, high blood pressure, destruction of erythrocytes and testicular tissue (Basu et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2019;Mezynska & Brzóska, 2018).…”
