The paper investigates how peanut shell biomass can be used as an adsorbent to extract heavy metals (Zn2+, Pb2+, Cr6+, and Ni2+) from water-based solutions. Several variables were tuned, including contact time (60 min), pH (2–5), metal ion concentration (5–50 mg/L), and biomass amount (0.2–4%). At a metal concentration of 25 mg/L and pH 4, peanut shell biomass removed 97% Cr6+, 93% Pb2+, 90.7% Zn2+, and 86% Ni2+. The Freundlich adsorption model analysis showed a fair fit with correlation coefficients (R2 values) for Zn2+, Pb2+, Cr6+, and Ni2+ ranging between 0.9289 and 0.9621. These results imply that peanut shell biomass is an efficient and interesting adsorbent for heavy metal removal from water.

摘要

The paper investigates how peanut shell biomass can be used as an adsorbent to extract heavy metals (Zn2+, Pb2+, Cr6+, and Ni2+) from water-based solutions. Several variables were tuned, including contact time (60 min), pH (2–5), metal ion concentration (5–50 mg/L), and biomass amount (0.2–4%). At a metal concentration of 25 mg/L and pH 4, peanut shell biomass removed 97% Cr6+, 93% Pb2+, 90.7% Zn2+, and 86% Ni2+. The Freundlich adsorption model analysis showed a fair fit with correlation coefficients (R2 values) for Zn2+, Pb2+, Cr6+, and Ni2+ ranging between 0.9289 and 0.9621. These results imply that peanut shell biomass is an efficient and interesting adsorbent for heavy metal removal from water.
