Applications on agricultural and forest waste adsorbents for the removal of lead (II) from contaminated waters

Abstract: At present, there is growing interest in using low cost, commercially available materials for the adsorption of heavy metals. The major advantages of adsorption technologies are its effectiveness in reducing the concentration of heavy metal ions to very low levels and the use of inexpensive adsorbent materials. In this review, agricultural and forest waste adsorbents were used to remove Pb 2? ions in wastewater treatment, and their technical feasibilities were reviewed in studies mainly from 2000 to 2010. They… Show more

“…Conventional metal removal techniques such as reverse osmosis, solvent extraction, lime coagulation and ion exchange methods [7], [8] are encountered with certain major disadvantages such as high energy requirements, incomplete removal and generation of large quantity of toxic waste sludge due to various reagents used in a series of treatments. Adsorption techniques are proved to be an effective and attractive process for removal of non-biodegradable pollutants [9], [10] from wastewater. Recently, the removal of metals, compounds and particulates from solution by biological material is recognized as an extension to adsorption and is named as biosorption [11].…”

“…Pb(II) was selected to investigate the relationship between the surface properties and the heavy metal ion removal ability of FeH x composites, not only due to its environmental relevance (Abdel-Ghani et al 2007;Okoye et al 2010;Saka et al 2012) but also due to its strong affinity toward apatite. Preliminary kinetics experiments Fig.…”
