Popis:	The current work used a batch study to investigate the efficiency of Ulva lactuca carbon for lead adsorption from aqueous solution. For the optimization study, the effects of several parameters such as pH, Adsorbent dosage, effective contact time, and initial concentration on lead removal were also considered. pH 3 was observed to be the most beneficial. The Langmuir isotherm, which represents mono-layer adsorption, yielded a maximum lead absorption of 3.49 mg/g. SEM was used to examine surface adsorption behavior, and FTIR was used to detect probable functional groups involved in the bio-adsorption experiment. This study shows that biochar made from the marine algae Ulva lactuca is effective for waste water treatment.
