摘要
The effective removal of heavy metals from aqueous wastes is among the most important issues for many industrialized countries. Removal of arsenic (As) from aqueous solutions was studied using Rhazia stricta biomass. The batch experiments are carried out to investigate the effect of the significant process parameters such as pH, contact time, solute concentration and adsorbent dose. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 5. The equilibrium data for the adsorption of As(V) on R. stricta are tested with various adsorption isotherm models such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin and Generalized equation. Results indicate the following order to fit the isotherm: Langmuir (1 and 2) > Tempkin > Generalized form > Freundlich. A comparison of two kinetic models showed that our data fitted well to the Elovich model.
