Abstract
Following pollution incidents involving toxic elements such as nickel, huge efforts aiming at purification of industrial wastewater prior to discharge into the natural environment have been made.
In order to contribute to the achievement of this environmental protection goal, we have studied the removal of Ni2+ from industrial wastewaters using bentonite-type clay, a natural and locally abundant adsorbent. In addition, a comparative study of Ni removal capacity using a dead bacterium Streptomyces rimosus biomass was undertaken.
The results of our investigations are given in terms of adsorption isotherms, rate constants, and estimated global diffusion coefficients. A batch adsorption kinetic experiment revealed that nickel adsorption onto these materials—bentonite and biomass—was well represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm data well fitted with the linearized Langmuir model.
