Green steps for bio decorated material: AMBP (Aegle marmelos bark powder) a promising scavenger towards radionuclide adsorption
摘要
The purpose of prescribing drinking water guideline values is to safeguard the population from unexpected adverse effects in the course of time. Excess concentrations of uranium in water may cause both radio and chemical toxicity, resulting in serious adverse health effects. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop effective techniques for adsorption of uranium from water. The current study based on the preparation of AMBP using a green approach. The AMBP was then thoroughly examined and systematically analyzed to determine the optimal adsorption parameters, which were found to be a pH of 5.0, an adsorbent dose of 0.1 g, and a period of 55 min. The AMBP material demonstrated potential as a sorbent due to its convenient availability and efficient adsorption properties. The AMBP biomass achieved the highest U(VI) adsorption capacity (Qmax = 58.14 mg g−1) when used in batch mode.
