Abstract

Agricultural waste act as promising adsorbents for heavy metals, while their characteristics and mechanism needs to be studied. In this paper, the adsorption capacity of a select agricultural waste and its derivative was compared. One major issue with industrial waste water treatment is the removal of heavy metals, which are poisonous components. Bio-sorbents can be used to remove heavy metals from industrial waste. The bio-sorbent used in the present study is pomegranate peel (PGP) and its activated charcoal for removal of Cadmium (Cd2+) and Chromium (Cr2+) metals from aqueous solutions. Physical and chemical characterizations of the bio-sorbents have been done. Adsorption experiments have been performed to determine and compare the adsorption capacities of the two biosorbents. The results of this study suggest that activated charcoal biosorbent is highly efficient in the removal of heavy metals however; PGP can also be used for this purpose for lower efficiency.
