“…According to the knowledge of the authors, there is only one publication about the usage of jackfruit peel as precursor for activated carbon production which was reported by Inbaraj and Sulochana [15]. They used sulphuric acid as activating agent and emphasized on its application on Cd (II) adsorption.…”

“…Many agricultural wastes have been used as effective and low cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. Many of the fruit peels and seeds such as banana peel [4,5], mango [6], orange peel [7,8], citrus peel [9], jackfruit peel [10], pomegranate peel [11], and pine fruit coat [12] are used as effective sorbents for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution.…”

Watermelon rind (WR) an agro waste was evaluated as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr 3+ ions from aqueous solution. Batch mode adsorption studies were performed by varying parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration. Maximum loading capacity of WR was found to be 172.6 mg g À1 for Cr 3+ ions at pH 3. Kinetic studies show that removal of Cr 3+ ions is rapid and follows a pseudosecond order model. Equilibrium data fit better with the Langmuir isotherm than the Freundlich isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters such as DG°, DH°and DS°were derived for the current system. The negative values of DG°show that the nature of sorption process is spontaneous. FTIR studies reveal that hydroxyl and carboxyl groups were responsible for uptake of metal ions. Successive desorption of Cr 3+ ions reveals that WR can be an economical sorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution. The results conclude that watermelon rind an agro waste can effectively be used for the removal of chromium ions from aqueous solution.ª 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf

“…Many agricultural wastes have been tried out as effective and low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from waste water. Many of the fruit peels and seeds have also been used as effective sorbents for the removal of heavy metals which include banana peel [7], mango peel [8], orange peel, citrus peel [9], jackfruit peel [10], ponkan peel [11], pomegranate peel [12], watermelon rind [13], gooseberry fruit [14], and pine fruit coat. Heavy metals such as Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cr 6+ , and Cu 2+ are prior toxic pollutants in industrial wastewater, which become common groundwater contaminants and they tend to accumulate in organisms, causing numerous diseases and disorders [15].…”

A B S T R A C TAdsorbent prepared from Annona squamosa (custard apple) fruit shell (CAS) was successfully used to remove lead (Pb 2+ ) and cadmium (Cd 2+ ) from aqueous solution in a batch process. Adsorption studies were conducted on a batch process, to study the effects of contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, adsorbent dose CAS, pH and temperature. The optimum contact time and pH for the removal of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ was 30 min and pH 5, respectively. Kinetic parameters of adsorptions such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order were determined. The maximum loading capacity of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ was found to be 90.93 and 71.0 mg g À1 of the adsorbent, respectively. The equilibrium data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Langmuir model gives a better fit than the Freundlich model. The pseudo-secondorder kinetics was the best for the adsorption of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ , by CAS (A. Squamosa) with good correlation. Thermodynamic parameters, such as standard free energy change (DG˚), standard enthalpy change (DH˚) and standard entropy change (DS˚), were analyzed. The results suggest that the CAS can be used as an effective, low cost, and eco-friendly green adsorbent for the removal of selected metal ions from aqueous solution.
