Removal of NI (II) Ion using Low Cost Carbonaceous Sorption - A Descriptive Study | Chapter 7 | Technological Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 3

Water contamination has been a major issue in recent decades as a result of heavy metal ions prevalent in water bodies. Nickel (II) is widely found in industrial effluent from many forms of heavy metal. In our environment, NI (II) has a number of negative consequences. It endangers not just the ecology but also humans. Activated carbon is extensively utilised as an adsorbent in heavy metal removal via adsorption studies. The use of activated carbon in the water treatment process is expensive. However, heavy metals must be eliminated from industrial water. The researchers like the idea of using a low-cost adsorbent instead of commercially available activated carbon compounds. The purpose of this study is to aid in the hunt for lower-cost adsorbents. Experiments on Nickel removal by adsorption on Corn Ash (CA) and Straw Ash (SA) are compared in this study (SA). These adsorbents are low-cost, non-conventional materials that may be used to clean water and waste water by adsorption. The activation process was developed to increase the material's high surface area and adsorption capability. The goal of this project is to give data for the development of a cost-effective waste water treatment facility for wastewater discharged by various companies. The degree of heavy metal adsorption is said to be determined by experimental factors such as contact duration, adsorbent dose, and solution PH. The effect of these factors on the amount of NI (II) ions extracted from CA and SA by adsorption has been studied. Various operating circumstances have a substantial influence on metal removal, according to the metal removal experiments.
