Article Synopsis
- Cerium pollution from industrial waste poses significant environmental risks, necessitating effective treatment methods for contaminated water.
- This study investigates the use of phosphoric acid-activated biochar (PPMB), derived from palmyra palm male flower, as an efficient adsorbent for removing cerium from water, optimizing key parameters for adsorption efficiency.
- Findings indicate that PPMB’s superior adsorption capacity (141.35 mg/g) is attributed to its unique surface properties and mechanisms, making it a promising and sustainable solution for cerium pollution remediation.
In this present study, a novel and low cost surface improved material was prepared from the farm waste material (Borassus flabellifer male inflorescence) and its surface was enhanced by the sulphuric acid treatment to intensify the Ni(II) ions adsorption. The adsorption individualities such as availability of functional groups, essential elements and the exterior side and structural properties of the material were assessed by the FT-IR, EDX, SEM and XRD investigation. The impact of varied adsorption influencing parameters on Ni(II) ions adsorption was studied and optimized as pH - 6.
