C. Renuka Devi, T. Santhi

Abstract :

The objective of this study is to assess the adsorption potential of Nickel removal from the aqueous solution by chemically activated Annona squmosa seed. The effects of various parameters such as solution pH, adsorbent dose, adsorb ate concentration, contact time were analyzed. The maximum Nickel adsorption was obtained at pH 5. The surface morphology and functional groups of the activated carbon were determined by using SEM and FTIR analysis. The Ni (II) adsorption equiliium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin - Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. Kinetic studies showed that second order equation successfully describes the adsorption process. Thus Annona squmosa have good potential as an adsorbent to remove Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution.
