Abstract

The ability of Zizyphus lotus stem powder (ZLSP) to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from an aqueous solution was evaluated. The present phenomenon of biosorption was revealed to depend on pH, biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial ionic concentration, time of contact and biosorbent's particle size. The sorption process was exothermic (∆H°<0), and showing a strong Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP affinity (∆S°>0). Gibbs free energy data (∆G°<0, and decreases as temperature increase) reveals that the process studied is characterized by its feasibility and spontaneous nature. The best fits of the equilibrium data were obtained by the Temkin model and the Langmuir model. The maximum Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP biosorption capacities were 33.02 mg/g for Pb (II) and 20.73 mg/g for Cd (II). The pseudo-second order model was the most appropriate for fitting the kinetic data. The characterization of the biochemical groups essentially involved in the sorption phenomenon was made possible by FTIR spectral analysis. The capacity of ZLSP as an effective and ecofriendly biosorbent is confirmed through this study.
