In this paper, Sugarcane leaves (SL) used for removal of Pb +2 as a recent adsorbent. The untreated and treated leave of sugarcane analyzed by instruments like; FT-IR, SEM and EDX investigation. The using different standard solutions and water samples containing Pb +2 ions in uneven preliminary conc., bed-height, pH and flow rate at room temperature. It is also found that the break point period decreases with rise in inlet adsorbate conc. as the binding positions become additional saturated in the column. The adsorption curve also indicates that the adsorption capacity rises with rise in bed-height. Experimental data indicate that SL has great affinity to Pb +2 ion removal. The Yoon-Nelson (YN) method also gives the confirmation and good evidence of Pb +2 ions onto the SL bio-adsorption. We proposed that the major adsorption mechanism of Pb +2 ions through a specific ion-exchange mechanism, and morphological surface precipitation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
