Palm Fruit (Arenga pinnata) Shell as Biosorbent for the Removal of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) from Aqueous Solution.

摘要

ABSTRACT Sorption behaviour of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) by Palm fruit (Arenga pinnata) shell fruit shell was investigated. The experiment, were conducted in a glass column. Some variable that affect the sorption capacity such as solution of pH, particle size, flow rate, amount of weight biomass and metal ion concentration has been investigated. Using the optimum conditions, sorption capacity of metal ions Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) were 1.48, 1.49, 1.16 and 1.66 mg/g, respective.
