Abstract
In this study, the adsorption behavior of brown mustard (Brassica juncea) leaves biomass, low-cost adsorbents, with respect to the removal of Cd (II) ions, has been studied in order to consider its application to the treatment of wastewater. The physicochemical properties of the brown mustard leaves biomass were predetermined. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the effect of pH of the solution, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial metal ions concentration and temperature on adsorption of cd (II) ions from synthetic waste water. The results indicates that, the maximum removal of 98.8% of Cd (II) ions (Co = 100 mg/L) was achieved at the optimum contact time of 150 min at the biomass dose rate of 3.0 g/100 mL. The effective removal of Cd (II) ions is observed at the pH of 5.5. The present finds suggest that, the selected brown mustard leaves biomass can be used to produce the best quality biocarbon for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater.
