| Popis: | The need for safe and economical methods for wastewater purification has necessitated this research. Blends of different peels: Potato-, apple- and pineapples-peels (PAP-peels) were impregnated with aqueous solutions of ZnCl2 following the variant of the incipient wetness method for activation of activated carbon (AC). Scanning Electron Microscope with attached energy dispersive spectrometer, Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry and Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer equipment were used for the characterization of the AC produced. The result shows that PAP-peels derived ACs had micro porous characteristics. The study revealed that these new combined adsorbents materials are inexpensive, easily available and they have applications for the removal of Cu, Pb and Cr contained in industrial effluents. |
