Bruguiera igymnorhiza (Mangrove leaf powder) for removal of Pb (II): Characterization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Thermodynamic Studies
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this study green plant material Bruguiera gymnorhiza (Mangrove leaf powder) was used for the biosorption of lead (II) ions by Atomic absorption spectrometry. In a batch process, Bruguiera gymnorhiza was exposed to several aspects, pH (2-6) and temperature (25-55°C) in the presence of different lead concentrations (25-125 mg/L) for 2h. This paper studies the Equilibrium isotherms, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters calculations. The highest occupied lead concentration was found at pH 5 which was 97.6% at an initial concentration is 25 mg/L. The maximum lead accumulation was obtained at 25◦C as 10.044 mg/g in 125 mg/L at pH 5.0, and the minimum was at 55◦C as 1.821 mg/g at a dosage of 10 g/L and initial concentration of 25 mg/L. Lead adsorption increased up to 75 mg/L but did not change significantly in the 75–100mg/L range. Equilibrium data fit well to the Freundlich isotherm. The kinetic data follows the pseudo-first-order model. Finally, the adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR and XRD. The biomass of Bruguiera gymnorhiza is an optimistic and cost-effective, biosorbent for lead (II) removal from aqueous environment and adsorption capacity it‟s good, easy of sampling analysis, as well as availability
