Abstract
Introduction and Aim
Lead is one of the most important metal ions that has many disadvantages for the environment and organisms, especially humans. Lead is into water resources through the waste products of various industries. One of the most effective methods for causing lead from aqueous solutions is the use of biological adsorbents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological absorption of lead (II) from aqueous solutions using Padina algae.
materials and methods:
Padina algae collected from Bushehr coastal were dried in an oven at 70 ° C for 24 hours, then adsorption experiments were carried out at pH, contact time, different amounts of biomass and initial concentration of the solution and Isotherm also .
Results:
The results showed that the removal efficiency of lead ion on the bio-absorbent Padina increased with increasing contact time and Biosorbent dose and decreased with increasing initial concentration of the solution. It also increases the removal efficiency by increasing the pH and finally reaches the maximum at pH = 6. The data obtained from the study of isotherm adsorption showed that the mechanism of adsorption of lead ion (II) to the bio-absorbent of the Padina follows well Langmuir isotherm.
Conclusion:
Padian biomass can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of lead ions (II) from aqueous solutions as a cheap absorbent and can be prepared under various conditions.
