ABSTRACT

Aim/Background: The effectiveness of an adsorbent made from Gossypium arboreum shell through acid treatment was evaluated in terms of nickel ion removal.Materials and Methods: Process variables that were investigated included agitation time, initial nickel ion concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, and temperature. The pace is mostly regulated by intra-particle diffusion, and the adsorption follows the second-order reaction equation. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied to the equilibrium data.Results: The Langmuir isotherm plot's adsorption capacity (Qm) at 30, 40, 50, and 600.50C, starting at pH 6.5. The elimination of metal ions was significantly impacted by pH, and adsorption increased as temperature rose. Using 0.1M HCl, some of the Ni+ extracted from wasted APSNC.Conclusion: This work shows that Gossypium Arboretum Shell carbon may be used to extract Ni (II) ions.
