Biosorption of toxic heavy metals from aqueous solution by Ulva lactuca activated carbon
Open accessAbstract
Pollution with heavy metals is one of the most severe environmental problems in the world. In this study, the batch adsorption of toxic Cu+2, Cr+3, Cd+2 and Pb+2 ions using marine macroalga Ulva lactuca (AP) and its activated carbon (AAC) were examined. The adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions on AP and AAC was studied using various analytical techniques. The effect of several parameters such as contact time, algal dose, effect of pH, and initial concentration of metal ions on the adsorption process was estimated. The optimum adsorption was found to occur at pH 5.0, contact time 60 min, adsorbent dose 0.8 g/L, and initial concentration 60 mg/L. The maximum removal efficiency values of AP and AAC for heavy metal ions were 64.5 and 84.7 mg/g for Cu+2, 62.5 and 84.6 mg/g for Cd+2, 60.9 and 82 mg/g for Cr+3, and 68.9 and 83.3 mg/g for Pb+2. This work confirms the potential use of green macroalga U. lactuca and its activated carbon for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated water.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
