| Abstract | The kinetics, mechanism, isotherm, and thermodynamics of adsorption of Pb2+ onto wood-activated carbon-supported zerovalent iron (WAC-nZVI) nanocomposite was successfully studied. WAC-nZVI was characterized by a combination of spectroscopic and analytical techniques (BET, PZC, FTIR, SEM, and EDX). BET surface area was 101.50 m2/g and BJH Adsorption average pore diameter 116.73 Å. The adsorption of Pb2+ studied in batch process depends on various operational parameters ranging from effect of pH to ionic strength. Kinetics data were best described by pseudo-second-order model based on high initial adsorption rate, h2 (166.67 mgg−1 min−1) and correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99). The mechanism was controlled by both external and intraparticle diffusion models confirmed by Bangham and Boyd models. Equilibrium data were fitted to seven isotherm models. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity (77.52 m2/g) surpassed those previously investigated for adsorption of Pb2+ onto nanoadsorbents. Validity of kinetics and isotherm models was studied using three statistical models. Post-adsorption characterization by SEM, EDX, and FTIR confirmed the presence of Pb2+ on the loaded-WAC-nZVI. Thermodynamic parameters (∆Ho, ∆So, ∆Go) confirmed the feasibility, spontaneity, and randomness of the adsorption process. This study revealed a great potential of novel WAC-nZVI in effective removal of Pb2+ from waste water. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
