摘要：In the present study, the bio-removal of cyanide ions from aqueous solution by Prunus amygdalus (Almond Shell) granule has been investigated as a function of equilibrium pH, bio adsorbent dose, contact time, temperature and initial cyanide concentration. Batch study revealed that the bio-adsorption of cyanide on Prunus amygdalus (Almond Shell) granule was strongly pH dependent, and maximum cyanide removal was found to occur at equilibrium pH of 7. Optimum adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature were found 20g/L, 90 minutes, and 30C respectively. Initial cyanide concentration was also investigated as a function of cyanide removal efficiency of bioadsorbent.
