“…The adsorption of all target metal ions by macadamia nut shells (MNS), rice husks (RH), Moringa oleifera husks (MH) and marula stones (AML) increased as initial pH increased from 4 to 6 (Tables 1, 2 and 3). The trend is consistent with the results obtained for the adsorption of Pb(II) using activated carbon prepared from various agricultural wastes (Ayyappan et al, 2005), for the adsorption of heavy metal ions using activated carbon prepared from apricot stone (Kobya et al, 2005) and for the adsorption of nickel by activated carbon prepared from almond husk (Hasar, 2003). For all the carbons used in this study, maximum metal ion adsorption was observed at pH 6 (Table 3) and on raising the pH above 6, precipitation occurred.…”

“…In adsorption of nickel by activated carbon prepared from almond husks, Hasar (2003) established that at 50 min, equilibrium had been attained. Apparently, the adsorption of most metal ions by activated carbon generally reaches equilibrium within 120 min (Ayyappan et al, 2005;Yu et al, 2001;Hasar, 2003). When BBB was used to adsorb Pb(II) from a solution containing Pb(II) only, percentage adsorption of Pb(II) was higher than the values obtained when Pb(II) was adsorbed from a mixture of metal ions (Figure 3).…”

“…But the metal ion adsorbate per unit mass of adsorbent (mg/g) increases with the concentration of synthetic wastewater. The uptake of metal ion at higher concentrations is due to an increase in the driving force of concentration gradient [66][67][68] . This is observed from the Fig.-4 that the removal efficiency of copper is recorded30.09 % at the concentration 10 mg/L and then decreases very smoothly to 11.8 % under the concentration 50 mg/L, pH 3.5 and contact time 25 minutes.…”

“…Efforts have been made to develop low cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. A number of natural and synthetic adsorbents like agricultural waste's carbon [2], clay [3], neem leaves [4], cooked tea dust [5], zeolites [6], teak leaves activated carbon [7], cashew nut shell activated carbon [8], fly ash [9] etc., have been studied by various researchers for the removal of heavy metals [10].…”
