摘要
Lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd) removal capacity of sawdust ( Picea smithiana ) from aqueous solution was investigated by conducting batch experiments. Thermodynamic parameters, like change in standard free energy (Δ G Θ ), enthalpy (Δ H Θ ) and entropy (Δ S Θ ) during bio-adsorption process were estimated using the Van’t Hoff equation. The maximum metals adsorption was observed at pH 8, 20 g L −1 bio-adsorbent and at 60 min of contact time. The metal adsorption kinetics was examined by fitting the pseudo-first-order as well as four forms of pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Type 1 pseudo-second-order equation described adsorption kinetics better than others. Langmuir model and Freundlich equations were used for calculation of sorption parameters. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of Pb, Cr, and Cd was 6.35, 3.37, and 2.87 mg g −1 at room temperature, respectively. The values of the separation factor ( RL ) were in between 0 and 1, indicating that bio-adsorption was favorable. Thermodynamics study revealed that the Pb, Cr, and Cd uptake reactions were endothermic and spontaneous. Results of the study asserted that the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution is viable and the sawdust could be used in the treatment of effluents from industries, thereby reducing the level of water pollution.
