dc.description.abstract | Heavy metal industries pose a serious threat to the environment. Conventional methods used for heavy metal removal are generally not always low-cost and environmentally friendly. So, researchers focused to investigate alternative biosorbents for the uptake of heavy metal. In this study, Laurus nobilis leaves (LNL) were used as a biosorbent for the uptake of toxic metals such as Pb2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. Batch biosorption experiments under varied conditions, such as biosorbent dosage, solution pH, heavy metal concentration, biosorption time, ionic strength, humic acid effect and competitive metal ions (Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) were performed. The biomass was characterized using FT-IR spectra and SEM images. The nonlinearized and linearized isotherm models were compared and discussed. A single-stage batch bioreactor system for each heavy metal based on the best fit nonlinear isotherm model also has been presented. The biosorption of Pb(II) on LNL fitted better in the Langmuir model and Cd(II) biosorption fitted better in the Freundlich model by nonlinearized equations. The LNL exhibited the maximum monolayer biosorption capacities (q(max)) of 7.1 and 32.5 mg/g for cadmium and lead, respectively. LNL showed great potential especially in Pb(II) uptake. LNL may be promising for heavy metal removal from aqueous environment. | |
