Removal of Arsenic from Wastewater by Using Pretreating Orange Peel

Abstract:

The use of low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the currentexpensive methods of removing arsenic from wastewater. Orange peel was collected from the local fields of orangetrees and converted into a low-cost adsorbent. The effects of solution pH, contact time, and concentration of orange peel have beenstudied. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuirisotherm model was 43.69 mg g^-1,Based on the adsorption capacity, the pretreating orange peel was shown to be promising materials for adsorption removal ofarsenics from aqueous solutions.
