Use Apricot Seed Peels as Adsorbents to Removal of Mn2+ and Zn2+ Ions from Aqueous Solutions

EasyChair Preprint 4786

Abstract

This research included the use of apricot seeds peels after converted into activated carbon and carbon nano as low cost adsorbents for removal of Zn²⁺ and Mn²⁺ from aqueous solutions. It was a perfect time (25min), initial concentration (5mg.L^-1), weight adsorbent (0.5g), temperature (30°C) and the optimum of pH was (3-4) for adsorption Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺ respectively by adsorbents. Technique FTIR were used to determine the capability of this sample to the removal of heavy metal and technique TEM on sample from carbon nano. The ability of the adsorbents Mn²⁺ to adsorb high than Zn²⁺ and the removal by carbon nano was higher than that of activated carbon.

Keyphrases: Apricot seed peels, Carbon nano, activated carbon, sewage water
