Abstract :
The acute toxicity of heavy metals even in small amounts, their tendency to bioaccumulate, transport in the food chain, and their non-biodegradabilit, it has led to the adoption of strict laws for the discharge of industrial effluents containing heavy metals into the environment and water sources. In recent years, the use of low-cost adsorbents, mineral adsorbents, industrial and agricultural wastes, and biological adsorbents has been considered for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater and polluted waters. In this research, the Prosopis farcta fruit has been used to remove heavy metal ions of lead and cadmium from aqueous solution. The effect of pH parameters, contact time, amount of adsorbent and initial concentration of heavy metals on the efficiency of removing lead and cadmium from aqueous solution was also investigated. The results showed that the optimal pH for removing cadmium and lead is 6 and 7, respectively and the contact time for both elements was 60 minutes. The maximum removal efficiency by the adsorbent is 94.3% for cadmium and 95.4% for lead. The study of adsorption isotherms showed that the Langmuir model is the best model adapted to the data of equilibrium experiments for the synthesized adsorbent. The results of this research showed that the Prosopis farcta fruit has a high ability to remove cadmium and lead from polluted water, and according to its abundance and accessibility, it is recommended to use it as a biosorbent in the treatment of industrial wastewater.
