摘要:The aim of the present research is to study the applicability of using dead Hydrilla verticillata powder to remove lead(II) ion from aqueous solution by means of batch experiments. Influence of oscillation time, solution pH value, and initial Pb(II) level upon its biosorption was examined in some detail. The result indicated that Pb(II) adsorption is highly pH dependent. The pH range from 5.0 to 5.5 is most favorable for Pb(II) removal with ca. 90% of Pb(II) removed. The adsorption data was in agreement with pseudo-first-order kinetics with an adsorption equilibrium time of 50 min. Isotherm data can be described by the Langmuir equation with a maximum adsorption capacity of 157.23 mg/g. These findings suggest that H. verticillata could be a promising biosorbent for Pb(II) removal.
