Description

Heavy metals are poisonous and detrimental water contaminant. Their existence affects human beings, animals and vegetation as a outcome of their mobility in aqueous ecosystem, toxicity and nonbiodegradability. This work aimed at the development of new adsorbent in the detoxification of heavy metals using Manilkara zapota tree wood and de oiled soya. The study completely focused on the characterization of the developed activation in the view of using it as a adsorbent. The characterization of activated carbon was effected SEM analysis, FTIR, XRD analysis and surface area determination. Both the activation carbon have showed a tremendous characterization in their employability as adsorbent in adsorption of heavy metals in aqueous solution. 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
