dc.description.abstractIn this study, high capacity Chestnut shell, a waste product from the chestnut sugar production industry, was successfully applied to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solutions. Maximum adsorption capacities were found as 541.25 mg/g and 75.86 mg/g for Pb(II), and Cd(II) respectively. Several important parameters influencing the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions such as contact time, pH, temperature and effect of metal concentration were investigated systematically by batch experiments. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were used to describe adsorption isotherms and constants. The thermodynamic parameters, such as standard free energy (ΔG°), standard enthalpy (ΔH°), and standard entropy (ΔS°), of the adsorption process were calculated. The adsorbents were characterised by scanning electron microscopy. It has been observed from the experimental results that in case of both Cd (II) and Pb (II), pseudo 2nd order kinetic model. From the results, Chestnut Shell are considered as an effective, low cost and environmental friendly adsorbent for the removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) from wastewater. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
