Abstract
We investigated the adsorption potential of powdered branches from Ficus religiosa, an abundantly available plant, for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution via column studies. Biomass was used as silica immobilized form and characterized using available techniques, including Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Breakthrough curve approach was used to explain removal capacity of biomass in a continuous flow mode, using different operating parameters like bed height (5-30 cm), inlet metal concentration (100-300mg/L) and pH (3-5) of the solution, at a fixed flow rate of 2mL/min. Biosorption of Cu(II) favored with increased service time (breakthrough and exhaust time) of the column with an increase in pH of inlet solution. Maximum biosorption capacity (17.5mg/g) for Cu(II) was achieved at 5 cm bed height, pH 5 and 300 mg/L influent Cu(II) concentration. Findings suggested that Ficus religiosa branch powder takes less service time and thus triggers fast removal of metal ions. Bed depth service time (BDST), Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were effectively applied to the breakthrough data. The study indicated that the immobilized powdered branches could be used for the effective removal of Cu(II) ions in a continuous flow mode.
