Zn(II) Ion Biosorption onto Surface of Eucalyptus Leaf Biomass: Isotherm, Kinetic, and Mechanistic Modeling

Abstract: Bioremediation of Zn(II) by biosorption across aqueous phase on to surface of eucalyptus leaf powder has been investigated in present research work. The adsorptive potential of eucalyptus leaf powder was evaluated as function of pH, temperature, contact time, agitation rate and particle size. Maximum metal ion uptake and percentage removal capacity of eucalyptus leaf powder were 23.5 mg g À1 and 94%, respectively, at optimized pH 5, 20 AE 18C, contact time 6 h, particle size 0.5 mm and agitation rate 200 rpm. … Show more

“…The exposure to zinc also leads to lethargy, hyperamylasemia, pancreatitis, cholestatic jaundice, anemia, thrombocytopenia, pulmonary edema, renal failure, circulation and neurological disturbances (Klein 2000;Marin et al 2009). The concentration of 120-lM of zinc leads to the micronucleus induction in plant Vicia faba (Mishra et al 2010). In case of aquatics, the ionic form of zinc is lethal to invertebrates and vertebrate fish (Shek et al 2009).…”

“…Resins, certainly ion exchange resins, are quite expensive, hence there usage is not a cost effective option for biosorption of heavy metal ion. Mishra et al (2010Mishra et al ( , 2011a carried out the investigation on biosorption of zinc ion on various sorts of biosorbents, such as jack fruit peel, pine apple peel, mango bark sawdust, Cedrus deodara sawdust, Zinc sequestering bacterium VMSDCM Accession no. HQ108109 (Accession number is provided by National Center for Biotechnology Information-NCBI, US) and eucalyptus leaf powder.…”

“…So, the scavenging of adsorbate was rapid in the early stages and gradually decreases with the interval of time until equilibrium in each case. The reduction in removal of metal ion at the later stage of the process was due to the decreasing of concentration of metal ions [28]. Furthermore, the characteristic of the equilibrium time curve exhibited that the SBB process approaches the equilibrium in a short span of time [29].…”
