Abstract

In order to examine the inhibition effect of other heavy metal ions on the removal of heavy metal ions by crab shell in aqueous solution, 10 heavy metal ions <TEX>$(Cr^{3+},\;Cd^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+],\;Fe^{2+},\;Fe^{3+},\;Pb^{2+})$</TEX> were used as single heavy metal ions and mixed heavy metal ions, respectively. In single heavy metal ions, <TEX>$Pb^{2+},\;Cr^{3+},\;Cu^{2+}$</TEX> were well removed by crab shell, however, <TEX>$Cd^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$</TEX> were not. The heavy metal removal increased as the increase of covalent index (Xm<TEX>$^2$</TEX>r), and the relationship classified heavy metal ions as 2 heavy metal groups <TEX>$(Fe^{3+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\; Cr^{3+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Zn^{2+}\;group\;and\;Pb^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}\;group)$</TEX>. In mixed heavy metal ions, the removals of <TEX>$Fe^{2+},\;Fe^{3+},\;Pb^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$</TEX> as 0.49 m㏖/g, regardless of the existence of other heavy metal ions, were similar to the result of single heavy metal ions experiment. The removals of <TEX>$Mn^{2+},\;Cd^{2+},\;Ni^{2+}$</TEX> decreased as the existence of other heavy metal ions, however, the removal of <TEX>$Zn^{2+},\;Cr^{3+},\;Hg^{2+}$</TEX> increased.
