Efficient Removal Lead (II) from the Environment by Adsorption Using Low-Cost Adsorbent Materials

Abstract

Pollutants, particularly harmful heavy metals, are released into the environment, posing serious health risks to humans and other living species. The human body does not require lead, which is a toxic chemical. As a result, in order to eradicate or remove lead from the environment, a range of technologies must be used. The goal of this research was to use low-cost, high-efficiency adsorbent materials to adsorb lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions. Adsorption capacity, elimination percent, and batch adsorption settings are all discussed in this work. The adsorption capacity and percentage removal of lead from aqueous solutions by adsorption are affected by the initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature. The goal of this research was to use low-cost, high-efficiency adsorbent materials to adsorb lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The impacts of several parameters on the adsorption process such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of lead (II) ions, and temperature were examined. Therefore, lead (II) ions can be removed from the water body effectively using low-cost adsorbent materials.
