Abstract :

Systematic batch mode studies of adsorption of Ni(II) ion on bilva leaf powder carbon (BLPC) were carried out. Parameters like initial Ni(II) ion concentration, dosage of adsorbent, pH, agitation time and temperature are noted to test the equiliium data by using Freundlich isotherm phenomena. The results indicated that the adsorption of Ni(II) ion on BLPC is maxima in acidic solutions. The effect of BLPC adsorbent was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and justified that the adsorption is reasonably agreed
