Abstract
Carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHAP) was synthesized from domestic hen egg shells. The obtained CHAP was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and investigated as metal adsorption for Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. The effect of various parameters on the adsorption process such as contact time, solution pH, and temperature was studied to optimize the conditions for maximum adsorption. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Pb2+ by carbonate hydroxyapatite calcined at 600 °C (CHAPF) reached 99.78 %, with an initial Pb2+ concentration of 200 mg·L−1, pH = 3, and a solid/liquid ratio of 1 g·L−1. The equilibrium removal process of lead ions by CHAPF foam at pH = 3 was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 500 mg·g−1 at (25 and 35) °C. The removal mechanism of Pb2+ by the CHAPF varies, depending on the initial concentration of lead in the aqueous solution: the dissolution of CHAPF and precipitation of hydropyromorp...
