Abstract:

The modified surface of Typha latifolia L. root (MSTL), as an alternative economical adsorbent, wasused for the removal of Ni (II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of initial pH, initialconcentration of metal ion, and contact time was investigated in a batch system at room temperature.The kinetics data could be fitted well by pseudo-second-order model with correlation coefficientvalues greater than 0.99. The mechanism of adsorption process was tested by fitting the experimentaldata by intraparticle diffusion kinetic and Boyd kinetic equations. The adsorption data could be fittedwell by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of MSTLwas determined to be 37.31 mg g-1 for Ni2+ and 28.90 mg g-1 for Cd2+ at room temperature when theinitial concentration of both metal ion was 100 mg/L, and the pH of the solution was 5.00 and 4.00for Ni2+ and Cd2+, respectively. It has been suggested that the MSTL can be successfully applied forthe removal of toxic heavy metal ions such as Ni2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solutions.

Aqueous pesticide mitigation efficiency of Typha latifolia (L.), Leersia oryzoides (L.) Sw., and Sparganium americanum Nutt.

Agricultural pesticide use is necessary to help meet the increased demand for a safe and secure food supply for the United States, as well as the global community. Even with proper application and careful management, the possibility of pesticide leaching and detachment in runoff still exists following certain storm events. Several different management practices have been designed to reduce the ...
