Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Biotransformed Lignite as a Low-Cost Adsorbent

Removal of Basic Blue 159 from Aqueous Solution Using Banana Peel as a Low-Cost Adsorbent

In this paper, the adsorption of Basic Blue159 (BB159) onto banana peel as a low-cost material was studied. At first, the banana peel was sieved. Later, banana peel particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a fu...

Coal Ash as a Low Cost Adsorbent for the Removal of Xylenol Orange from Aqueous Solution

The removal ofxylenol orange from aqueous solution onto the coal ash was investigated at room temperature. The results show that the adsorption capacity of xylenol orange increased as the adsorption time increased and then equilibrium established after 30 min adsorption time. The results obtained revealed that the coal ash removed about 80 % of xylenol orange from the aqueous solution withi...

Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solution Using Fruits Peel as a Low Cost Adsorbent

Global heavy metal pollution in the environment is a serious concern. The discharge of heavy metals from various anthropogenic and technogenic sources into the aquatic system poses a threat to the health of biota. Heavy metals persist in the environment since they cannot be degraded nor destroyed and finally reach the human through food chain. The major sources of lead pollution into waste wate...
