Exploring Adsorption Process of Lead (II) and Chromium (VI) Ions from Aqueous Solutions on Acid Activated Carbon Prepared from Juniperus procera Leaves

Abstract: The adsorption potential of acid activated carbon prepared from leaves of Juniperus procera to remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) toxic ions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of solution pH, adsorbent mass, contact time, initial ion concentration and temperature on the biosorption process were studied, and the optimum conditions were determined. Moreover, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models were applied to analyze adsorption data. Thermodynamic parameters f… Show more

“…It has been noted that the adsorption efficiency increases with increasing pH value up to 7, after which no alteration was noted with further increase in the pH value. These results attributed to the competition between Ni(II) ions and H + ions for adsorption spots on the DSP surface at low pH values [15]. As the pH value increases, less H + ions are present; hence, more adsorption sites are available for Ni(II) ions.…”

“…The Langmuir isotherm provides information regarding the availability of active sites on the adsorbent surface and the saturation of these sites once all the available sites are occupied and maximum adsorption is attained. The linear equation of the Langmuir model is represented by the following equation according to [2,40]:…”
