Chemically Modified Sago Fly Ash for Pb(II) Removal from Water

Abstract:

The use of agricultural by-products has been widely studied to develop effective and inexpensive adsorbent for heavy metal removal. In this study, sago (M.sagu) fly ash (FA) was chemically modified to afford an operational adsorbent for Pb (II) elimination from water. Chemical modification was carried out via acid-base treatment using NaOH and HCl. The chemically modified fly ash (MFA) was characterized via proximate, surface morphology, and functional groups' surface area analyses. The effects of adsorption parameters, namely, Pb (II) initial concentration, sorbent dosage and contact time on the eradication of Pb (II) by MFA was analyzed in batch experiments with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Optimization of Pb (II) removal by MFA was studied via response surface methodology (RSM) approach. Results revealed that chemical modification has successfully enhanced the adsorptive properties of MFA (BET surface area: 231.4 m2/g, fixed carbon: 55.83%). MFA exhibits better Pb (II) removal efficiency (90.8%) compared to FA (63.6%) at the following adsorption condition: Pb (II) initial concentration (5 ppm), contact time (30 min) and agitation speed (150 rpm). The adsorption of Pb (II) by FA and MFA fitted well with Freundlich isotherm (R2>0.9). RSM study suggested that the optimum Pb (II) removal was 99.4% at the following conditions: Pb (II) initial concentration (20 ppm), contact time (2 h) and sorbent dosage (0.6 g/50 mL). The results concluded the potential optimum operational condition for Pb (II) removal from aqueous environment by MFA as a low cost adsorbent, at larger scale.
