Immobilization of Rose Waste Biomass for Uptake of Pb(II)‎ from Aqueous Solutions

الملخص EN

Rosa centifolia and Rosa gruss an teplitz distillation waste biomass was immobilized using sodium alginate for Pb(II) uptake from aqueous solutions under varied experimental conditions.

The maximum Pb(II) adsorption occurred at pH 5.

Immobilized rose waste biomasses were modified physically and chemically to enhance Pb(II) removal.

The Langmuir sorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models fitted well to the adsorption data of Pb(II) by immobilized Rosa centifolia and Rosa gruss an teplitz.

The adsorbed metal is recovered by treating immobilized biomass with different chemical reagents (H2SO4, HCl and H3PO4) and maximum Pb(II) recovered when treated with sulphuric acid (95.67%).

The presence of cometals Na, Ca(II), Al(III), Cr(III), Cr(VI), and Cu(II), reduced Pb(II) adsorption on Rosa centifolia and Rosa gruss an teplitz waste biomass.

It can be concluded from the results of the present study that rose waste can be effectively used for the uptake of Pb(II) from aqueous streams.
