TLDR
F Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis showed that the dominant mechanism of zinc(II) biosorption onto the dried activated sludge was the binding between amide groups and zinc ions.Abstract:
The biosorption potential of dried activated sludge as a biosorbent for zinc(II) removal from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of initial pH, contact time, initial zinc ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the biosorption processes were determined, and the equilibrium data were modeled by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Langmuir isotherm model ( R 2 = 0.999) was proved to fit the equilibrium data much better than the Freundlich isotherm model ( R 2 = 0.918). The monolayer adsorption capacity of dried activated sludge for zinc(II) was found to be 17.86 mg/g at pH of 5 and 25°C. The kinetic data were tested using pseudo first- and second-order models. The results suggested that the pseudo second-order model ( R 2 > 0.999) was better for the description of the adsorption behavior of zinc(II) onto the dried activated sludge. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis showed that the dominant mechanism of zinc(II) biosorption onto the dried activated sludge was the binding between amide groups and zinc ions.read more

Assessment of toxic copper(II) biosorption from aqueous solution by chemically-treated tomato waste
TL;DR: In this paper, the copper(II) ion was removed from tomato waste using a biosorbent and showed that it was exothermic at 293-313 K. The results showed that tomato waste could be used as an alternative and low-cost biosorption for removal copper(2) ion from aqueous solutions, when suitable conditions are performed.
