Description :
In the present work, batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the suitability of prepared acid activated carbons in removing heavy metal ions such as lead (II). Activated carbons obtained from corn cobs and walnut shell (acrode) was activated using phosphoric acid. Synthesized activated carbons were modified. The results show that synthesized activated carbon can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals. The adsorption equilibrium data for lead (II) from adsorption by activated carbons were analysed by Langmuir and Freundlich models.
