As is known, zinc pollution has been a public environmental issue for a long time. Accordingly, the major objective of this study is to examine the effect of activated Firmiana simplex leaf on Zn(II) removal from aqueous solution. The result shows that activated Firmiana simplex leaf can remove Zn(II) effectively at 250°C due to the preservation of amine, carboxyl, and phosphate groups. Several factors were determined to have significant effects on the adsorption of Zn(II), including the adsorbent component, dosage, initial concentration, solution pH, temperature, and duration. Pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetics equations were used to predict the kinetic and thermodynamic constants that reveal the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption. Using the Langmuir model, the maximum zinc adsorption capacity was calculated to be 55.096 mg/ g, which was subsequently confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared radiation (FT-IR) analyses and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra.

Lead pollution is common in Western China and has caused serious public health problems recently. The treatment of wastewater containing Pb(II) is stringent for the sustainable development of local economics. The Chinese loess proved effective to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solution and applicable in the treatment of wastewater from lead–zinc ore mining sites. The adsorption capacity of Chinese loess about Pb(II) is determined as high as 270.26 mg g−1 in this study. Factors affecting the adsorption of Pb(II) include slurry concentration, solution pH, temperature, and equilibrating duration. The optimum conditions for Pb(II) adsorption include sorbent dosage⩾0.05 g∕50 mL , p Hi ⩾p Hzpc , temperature=55°C , and equilibration duration⩾30 min . The isotherms and kinetic data are well fitted with Langmuir model and pseudo-first order kinetics, respectively. The thermodynamic behavior reveals the exothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption. The adsorption of Pb(II) on loess involves chemical reaction wit...
