POMEGRANATE PEEL AS A SORBENT IN THE REMOVAL OF Pb (II) FROM WASTEWATER
Keywords:
Lead, Pomegranate peels, isotherms, kinetics, wastewater, sorptionAbstract
Pomegranate peels were chosen for the ability to adsorption of lead ions from the simulated wastewater. It has been tested under various experimental parameters such as pH, contact time, weight of sorbent, and concentration of metal and effect of temperature. The outcomes indicated that adsorption of Pb (II) ions on the pomegranate peels can be appropriated with the Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Result showed that the Pomegranate peel was found to be low-cost adsorbent for the removal of contaminates. A good efficiency to remove toxic metal ions was achieved by usage of such by- product.
