Sustainable Removal of Heavy Metal Using Extracted Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.

Abstract:

Discharge of heavy metals from metal processing industries is known to have adverse effects to the environment. Conventional treatment technologies for removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution are not economical and generate huge quantity of toxic chemical sludge. Biosorption of heavy metals by metabolically inactive non-living biomass of microbial or plant origin is an innovative and alternative technology for removal of these pollutants from aqueous solution. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to investigate the potential of pandan leaves as a biosorbent to remove heavy metal, copper. The pandan leaves were extracted via solvent extraction method. The effect of dosage of biosorbent, pH aqueous solution, and the biosorption contact time towards removal of copper (Cu²⁺) ions were studied. The concentration of copper ions was analyzed by using atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS). The maximum biosorption of Cu²⁺ ions was obtained up to 70 % for 5ppm of initial copper ions loading by 1 hour.
