Abstract

Adsorption experiments were carried out using waste rice straw of several kinds as a biosorbent to adsorb Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions from aqueous solutions at room temperature. To achieve the best adsorption conditions the influence of pH and contact time were investigated. The isotherms of adsorption were fitted to the Freundlich equation. Based on the experimental data and Freundlich model, the adsorption order was Cd(II)>Cu(II)>Zn(II)>Hg(II) on the rice straw. This quick adsorption process reached the equilibrium before 1.5h, with maximum adsorptions at pH 5.0. Thermodynamic aspects of the adsorption process were investigated. The biosorbent material was used in columns for the removal of ions Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg of real samples of industrial effluent and its efficiency was studied.
