Invstigation was carrid out by studying th influnc of initial solution ph, adsorbnt dosag and initial concntration of coppr. Th particl siz of PKS usd was catgorizd as PKS M. All batch xprimnts wr carrid out at a constant tmpratur of 30 C (±2 C) using mchanical shakr that opratd at 100 rpm. Th singl componnt quilibrium data was analyzd using Langmuir, Frundlich, Rdlich-Ptrson, Tmkin and Toth adsorption isothrms. Kywords: Elais Guinnsis, coppr rmoval, adsorption and isothrms. 1. Introduction Pollution from havy mtals is a major concrn in dvloping countris. Th discharg of havy mtals into watr-courss is a srious pollution problm which may affct th quality of watr supply. Incrasing concntrations of ths mtals in th watr constitut a svr halth hazard mainly du to thir nondgradability and toxicity. Numrous mtals such as chromium Cr (III) and Cr (VI), coppr (Cu), lad (Pb), mangans (Mn), mrcury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), tc ar known to b significantly toxic. 180

2 Adsorption of Coppr from Aquous Solution 181 Cu, th mtal considrd in this projct, is a widly usd matrial. Coppr mtal contamination xists in aquous wast strams from many industris such as lctronic and lctrical, mtal plating, mining, manufactur of computr hat sinks, Cu plumbing, as wll as biostatic surfac, as a componnt in cramic glazing and glass colouring. Unfortunatly, Cu is a prsistnt, bioaccumulativ and toxic chmical that dos not radily brak down in th nvironmnt and is not asily mtabolizd. It may accumulat in th human or cological food chain through consumption or uptak and may b hazardous to human halth or th nvironmnt. Drinking watr that contains highr than normal lvls of Cu may caus vomiting, diarrha, stomach cramp and nausa. Th chronic ffcts of consumption of high lvls of coppr ar livr and kidny damag. Th suggstd saf lvl of Cu in drinking watr for humans varis dpnding on th sourcs, but tnds to b pggd at 1.5 to 2.0 mg/l. Hnc, rmoval of coppr from watr and wastwatr assums important. Tabl 1 shows th Environmntal Quality Act 1974, Environmntal Quality (Swag and Industrial Efflunts) Rgulations, 1979, in Malaysia with slctd paramtr limits of fflunt of havy mtals. a Tabl 1.

Rspctivly, among th unit oprations in watr and wastwatr tratmnt, adsorption occupis an important position. It is rcommndd that th absorbnt is availabl in larg quantitis, of fr or vry low cost and asily rgnrabl. In th midst of a larg varity of adsorbnt availabl, activatd carbon is th most important and chapst adsorbnt usd in th currnt mthod of pollution control. In Malaysia, th palm oil industry gnrats hug amounts of palm shll. Som of this solid wast is usually usd as ful to produc procss stam and/or lctricity in palm oil mills.

Prior to that, th ph solution was adjustd to th dsird valus by adding HNO 3 or NaOH. Th ragnt bottls with activatd Journal of Enginring Scinc and Tchnology AUGUST 2008, Vol. 3(2)

4 Adsorption of Coppr from Aquous Solution 183 carbon CuSO 4 mixtur wr shakn using an orbital incubator shakr, which opratd at 100 rpm and 30 o C (±2 o C) for 6 hours to attain th quilibrium condition. Blank solutions wr tratd similarly without th adsorbnt, and th rcordd concntrations at th nd of ach opration wr takn as th initial. Th final concntrations of th solution wr thn dtrmind from a calibration curv. 3. Rsults and Discussion 3.1. Effct of initial ph Th acidity of solution ph is on of th most important paramtrs controlling th uptak of havy mtals from wastwatr and aquous solutions. Th uptak and prcntag rmoval of coppr from th aquous solution ar strongly affctd by th ph of th solution as illustratd in Fig. 1. Th uptak of coppr incrass from 0.11 mg/g to 1.20 mg/g whn th ph incrass from ph 2 to ph 6. Coppr sorption is notd to incras significantly at ph 4 with 0.96 mg/g and 1.07 mg/g adsorption capacity at ph 5 rspctivly. Aftr that th capacity of adsorption dcrass slightly in ph rang of 6 to 9. Th minimum adsorption obsrvd at low ph (ph 2) may b du to th fact that th highr concntration and highr mobility of H + ions prsnt favourd th prfrntial adsorption of hydrogn ions compard to Cu (II) ions [1]. It would b plausibl to suggst that at lowr ph valu, th surfac of th adsorbnt is surroundd by hydronium ions (H + ), thrby prvnting th mtal ions from approaching th binding sits of th sorbnt [2]. This mans that at highr H + concntration, th biosorbnt surfac bcoms mor positivly chargd such that th attraction btwn biomass and mtal cationsis rducd [3]. In contrast, as th ph incrass, mor ngativly chargd surfac bcoms availabl thus facilitating gratr coppr rmoval. It is commonly agrd that th sorption of mtal cations incrass with incrasing ph as th mtal ionic spcis bcom lss stabl in th solution. Q (mg/g) ph 6 8 Fig. 1.

Howvr, at highr ph valus (ph 6, ph 7, ph 8 and ph 9) thr is a dcras in th adsorption capacity. This is du to th occurrnc of coppr prcipitation. At ph 6 thr ar thr spcis prsnt in solution as suggstd by Elliot and Huang. [4], Cu 2+ in vry small quantitis and Cu(OH) + and Cu(OH) 2 in larg quantitis. Thr spcis ar adsorbd at th surfac of adsorbnt by ion xchang mchanism with th functional groups prsnt in adsorbnt or by hydrogn bonding. 10 Journal of Enginring Scinc and Tchnology AUGUST 2008, Vol. 3(2)

5 184 N. D. Tumin t al 3.2. Effct of adsorbnt dosag Th adsorbnt dosag is anothr important paramtr, which influncs th xtnt of mtal uptak from th solution and thus th ffct as shown in Fig. 2. It was vidnt that th amount of mtal uptak incrass from 0.86 mg/g with 0.5 g adsorbnt up to 1.08 mg/g with 1.0 g adsorbnt Q (mg/g) Adsorbnt Dosag (g) Fig. 2. Effct of adsorbnt dosag (g) on coppr adsorption capacity, Q (mg/g) in 30 ml of initial concntration 50 mg/l at ph 5, orbital shaking of 2 hours at 100rpm, incubatd at 30 ± 2 C. Prior to that, it is apparnt that th prcnt rmoval of coppr incrass as th adsorbnt dosag incrass from 0.5 g up to 1.0 g du to th limitd availability of th numbr of adsorbing spcis for a rlativly largr numbr of surfac sits on th adsorbnt at highr dosag of adsorbnt. It is plausibl that with highr dosag of adsorbnt thr would b gratr availability of xchangabl sits from mtal ions [5]. Bsids, Fourst and Roux [6] suggstd that th rduction in adsorbnt dosag in th suspnsion at a givn mtal concntration nhancs th mtal/adsorbnt ratio, and thus incrass th mtal uptak pr unit adsorbnt, as long as th lattr is not saturatd. Similar obsrvation has bn rportd by Mashitah t al [7] for th adsorption of coppr ions onto Pycnoporous sanguinus biomass. Howvr, th adsorption capacity dcrasd sharply with th incrasing of adsorbnt dosag at valu 1.5 g. Th coppr adsorption capacity dcrass gradually at adsorbnt dosag 2.0 g with 0.41mg/g adsorption capacity and at 2.5 g with 0.34 mg/g. Ths rsults may du to th ovrlapping of th adsorption sits as a rsult of ovrcrowding of adsorbnt particls [8]. Morovr, th high adsorbnt dosag could impos a scrning ffct of th dns outr layr of th clls, thrby shilding th binding sits from mtal [9]. Journal of Enginring Scinc and Tchnology AUGUST 2008, Vol. 3(2)

6 Adsorption of Coppr from Aquous Solution Effct of initial adsorbat concntration Figur 3 shows that adsorption capacity incrasing from 0.23 to 1.09 mg/g as th mtal concntration incrass from 10 to 50 mg/l. Th trnd is that of th rsult of th progrssiv incras in th lctrostatic intraction btwn th coppr ions and th absorbnt activ sits. Morovr, this can b xplaind by th fact that mor adsorption sits wr bing covrd as th mtal ions concntration incrass [10]. Bsids, highr initial concntrations lad to an incras in th affinity of th coppr ions towards th activ sits [11]. Th dclin in th adsorption capacity is du to th availability of smallr numbr of surfac sits on th adsorbnt for a rlativly largr numbr of adsorbing spcis at highr concntrations [12]. Similar rsults wr obsrvd by Han t al. [13] for th adsorption of coppr (II) and lad (II) on chaff. Q (mg/g) 3.4. Adsorption isothrm Th capacity of th adsorption isothrm is fundamntal, and plays an important rol in th dtrmination of th maximum capacity of adsorption. It also provids a panorama of th cours takn by th systm undr study in a concis form, indicating how fficintly a carbon will adsorb and allows an stimat of th conomic viability of th carbons commrcial applications for th spcifid solut. In ordr to adapt for th considrd systm, an adquat modl that can rproduc th xprimntal rsults obtaind, quations of Langmuir, Frundlich, Rdlich-Ptrson, Toth and Tmkin hav bn considrd. Langmuir modl is th most widly usd isothrm quation, as follows, Q x m K L C ( 1+ ac ) Initial concntration (mg/l) Fig. 3.
