Isotherm Modeling and Thermodynamic Study of the Adsorption of Toxic Metal by the Apricot Stone

Abstract

The adsorption of Lead onto apricot stone activated carbon (ASAC) in a batch adsorber has been studied. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR, BET, X-fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and SEM. The effects of contact time, initial pH, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentration on the Lead adsorption by the ASAC have been studied. Lead removal was seen to increase with increasing contact time until equilibrium and initial dye concentration, and the adsorption capacity of ASAC selected to follow the adsorption process. Batch adsorption experiments were first undertaken to assess the effect of various parameters on the removal efficiency of Lead https://crimsonpublishers.com/eaes/fulltext/EAES.000503.php Environmental Analysis & Ecology Studies: Crimson Publishers For more open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on link: https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on Environmental Analysis & Ecology Studies Please click on: https://crimsonpublishers.com/eaes/
