Abstract:

In this research nanoparticles have been prepared utilizing a lignocellulosic precursor pitheocellobium dulce. A porous nano adsorbent Zinc chloride Activated Carbon of Pitheocellobium Dulce wood (ZACPDW) has been prepared by simple pyrolysis method. The nanoparticle is characterized using ultimate analysis, Particle size analysis,SEM, TEM and FTIR. This nano adsorbent is subjected to chemisorption of Lead(II) ions and Cadmium(II) ions from industrial effluents. The batch work studies of lead and cadmium removal from aqueous solution also examined. This process was carried out with the effect of various operating variables mainly adsorbent dose, pH, and agitation time. The nano adsorbent ZACPDW has shown the optimum pH value for Pb(II) ion removal is 4.0 and Cd(II) ion removal is 6.0 from aqueous solutions. From this analysis it is evident that the new nano particle ZACPDW synthesized can be employed as low cost adsorbent for the removal of Lead and Cadmium ions from various industrial effluents.
