Thermodynamic Studies for Adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from Waster Water on Modified Walnut Shell

Article Preview

Abstract:

The adsorption isothermal curve and thermodynamic adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ on modified walnut shell from waster water were investigated using batch technique. The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the model parameters are evaluated. The Langmuir isotherm model shows a better fit to adsorption data than the Freundlich isotherm model for the sorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ on modified walnut shell. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cd2+ and Pb2+ by modified walnut shell is found to be 32.68 mg·g-1 and 84.75 mg·g-1 at 298K temperature, respectively. The adsorption processes of Cd2+ and Pb2+ has feasibility and spontaneous nature. Thermodynamic parameters depict the endothermic nature of sorption and the process is spontaneous and favorable.
