Abstract EN
Feasibility of biosorbent of England bamboo plant origin was tested for removal of priority metal ions such as Cu and Zn from aqueous solutions in single metal state.
Batch single metal state experiments were performed to determine the effect of dosage (0.5, 1 and 1.5 g), pH (3, 4, 4.5, 5 and 6), mixing speed (90, 111, 131, 156 and 170 rpm), temperature (20, 25, 30 and 35 °C) and metal ion concentration (10, 50, 70, 90 and 100 mg / L) on the ability of dried biomass to remove metal from solutions which were investigated.
Dried powder of bamboo removed (for single metal state) about 74 % Cu and 69 % Zn and maximum uptake of Cu and Zn was 7.39 mg / g and 6.96 mg / g respectively, from 100 mg / L of synthetic metal solution in 120 min.
of contact time at pH 4.5 and 25°C with continuous stirring at 170 rpm.
Experimental results have been analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.
Both equilibrium sorption isotherms were found to represent well the measured sorption data, but Freundlich isotherm was better than Langmuir isotherm.
The effect of time was studied and the rate of removal of Cu (II) and Zn (II) ions from aqueous solution by bamboo plant was found.
The rates of sorption of copper and zinc were rapid initially within 5-15 minutes and reached a maximum in about 60 minutes.
