Abstract

This work was conducted to study the adsorption behaviour of bio adsorbent of alkali modified jackfruit wood sawdust and to investigate its possibility as adsorbent to remove heavy metals from wastewaters. The effects of sodium hydroxide concentration on the bio adsorbent adsorption capacity were investigated. The bio adsorbent prepared through chemical modification with solution of 2% sodium hydroxide showed the highest adsorption capacity with the value 3.32 mg/g at initial Pb(II) concentration 18.69 mg/L and percent removal Pb(II) ions was 88.86%. This study proved that adsorption process of Pb(II) ions onto bio adsorbent was perfectly illustrated by second order kinetic equation and adsorption isotherm of bio adsorbent was well represent by Freundlich isotherm model.
