Abstract
Most of the heavy metals are toxic in nature. It may contribute variety of adverse environmental and human health effects due to their acute and chronic exposure through air, water and food chain. They are released into the aquatic environment from many industrial activities. Particularly cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel and copper are the most toxic metals of widespread in industrial wastewater. Hence, treatment water and wastewater and possible removal of toxic pollutants are very essential before discharge into receiving environmental systems. There are number of adsorbents are used in water treatment process. Most of the conventional treatment methods of metal removal are often limited by their operational cost and ineffectiveness at low concentrations. In this respect, a new search is in progress to identify cheap materials which may have potential adsorption capacity for the removal of pollutants in water. The use of activated biocarbon as adsorbents offers an attractive alternative to the conventional chemical materials used in water and wastewater treatment. In the current investigation, a new biocarbon material is introduced, which are produced from a medicinal plant for the metal removal. In a model trial, 2.5g/100mL of biocarbon is used as adsorbent to the removal of Cu (II) ions with the initial concentration of 100mg/L. At the equilibrium time of 180min, at the working pH of 5.0, it is noticed that 96.30% removal of Cu (II) ions are observed. The removal process of selected heavy metal ion on the biocarbon matrix is an ion-exchange mechanism and also mainly depends on the physical characteristics of the materials.
