Abstract:
Activated carbon derived from cheap sources showed good adsorption for the removal of most heavy metal ions from wastewater as it has an extended surface area, high adsorption capacity, and a certain degree of surface reactivity due to the presence of appropriate functional groups. Langmuir and Freundlish's adsorption isotherm models have been utilized to decipher the balance adsorption information. The pH, time of contact, and the dose of adsorbent have a great effect on the whole process. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the adsorption characteristics of charcoal derived from municipal Olive seeds residues produced in the region of Mosul to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater.
