Adsorption of Lead from Aqueous Solution onto Untreated Orange Barks

چکیده
Waste materials with no further treatment such as orange barks from commercial oranges may act as adsorbent for the removal of Pb. Batch kinetic and equilibrium experiments were conducted to study the effects of contact time, initial pH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration of lead. The results show that the equilibrium was achieved less than 30 min of contact time. Three adsorption isotherm models namely, Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich were used to analyse the equilibrium data. The Langmuir isotherm which provided the best correlation for Pb adsorption onto orange barks reveals that the adsorption was favourable and the maximum adsorption capacity found was equal to 112,36 mg.g. The results of the present study suggest that orange barks will be used as an effective and economical adsorbent for Pb removal.

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...
