Natural Polymer Used for Adsorption of Metal Ions from Aqueous Solution

Abstract

In order to evaluate the problem of hazards on groundwater and to ascertain its suitability for drinking agriculture purposes in Bhandara district of Maharashtra. The quality of groundwater of any area is great importance for human being and irregation.All the groundwater irrespective of their source of origin certain mineral salt and their chemical properties. The kind of concentration of these constituents depends on various geological and physical factors. Since most of these factors are varying from place to place, the groundwater of any region each charactrize by mark difference in their chemical properties since the quality of water is directly or indirectly dependent upon its intended use. There is always a need to classify the water of an area on regional basis. [1] Adsorption has been proved to be an excellent way to treat industrial waste effluents, offering significant advantages like the low-cost availability, profitability, ease of operation and efficiency comparative to activated carbon. The Tictona Grandis tree bark substrate was found to have good sorption capacity for Nickel. Studies indicate that the sorption of Pb (II) increases with the increase in pH value and contact time, 30minute was found to be optimum. The effect of concentration shows that the Tictona Grandis can remove Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions, the concentration of metal ions increases adsorption decreases.
