- Title
Kinetic removal of lead from water by decaying Tamrix leaves.
- Authors
Zaggout, F. R.
- Abstract
Removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions by Tamrix gallica leaves was studied. The factors that affected this removal were investigated. These factors are metal ion concentration, tamrix leave concentration, pH, presence of competing ions, agitation, crushing, drying, presence of complexing agent, and leaf extract. Application of the Freundlich adsorption isotherm on the present results has been examined and the parameters of this isotherm have been calculated. The order of reaction between lead ions and Tamrix gallica leaves has been determined and a mechanism for this interaction has been suggested.
