Abstract
This research study focuses at the use of fenugreek seed powder as a bio adsorbent for removing arsenic from aqueous media. Metal biosorption research on Fenugreek seed powder has been studied in just a few studies. SEM, FTIR, and XRD were used to investigate the constituents and properties of fenugreek seed powder, which revealed the constituents and properties that enabled the arsenic biosorption process to succeed. To investigate the strength of arsenic adsorption using Fenugreek seed powder as a bioadsorbent, the effects of primary parameters including contact time, dose, concentration, pH, and temperature were used. The report of these parameters suggested that as the parameters increased, the efficient removal of arsenic increased until equilibrium was reached, but no successful results were seen after gaining the equilibrium. The biosorption process to Freundlich isotherm and pseudo kinetic order in liner form with better correlation coefficients was verified by a survey of biosorption isotherms and kinetic results. The system was endothermic, random, and favourable with biosorption characteristics at various temperatures, as determined by the thermodynamic constants. As a result of these findings, fenugreek seed powder has been modified for arsenic adsorption.
Highlights
The continued emission of contaminants is causing a largescale destruction of the natural environment, which is a major social problem that has diverted people's attention away from basic human needs
The presence of hetero atoms (N, O) and some bonds on the surface of the biosorbent are thought to be involved in the biosorption process, and Fenugreek seed powder can be used as a biosorbent
From 10 to 20 minutes later, there is a sharp increase in biosorption, followed by a sharp decline
Summary
The continued emission of contaminants is causing a largescale destruction of the natural environment, which is a major social problem that has diverted people's attention away from basic human needs. Arsenic is one of those inorganic compounds that have a significant toxicological impact on human life. The aim of this study is to aim at the health risks that arsenic pollution in water can cause. Hemicellulose, and lignin are found in fenugreek seed powder. The carbonyl group releases CO2, which causes these bands to vanish (4000oC). The presence of hetero atoms (N, O) and some bonds on the surface of the biosorbent are thought to be involved in the biosorption process, and Fenugreek seed powder can be used as a biosorbent
