Abstract
The desalination of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from synthetic and paint industrial waste water was conducted to study the column mode (down flow and up flow) of Aspergillus niger decomposed Citrus limetta peels’ powder. The batch mode was carried out to optimize pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and adsorbent doses. The column studies were performed with waste water at optimized conditions. The percentage removal, metal uptake capacity and exhaustion time of the column in up flow mode were found to be far better as compared to down flow mode. The comparison of adsorption in single- and multi-metal ion systems revealed that A. niger decomposed C. limetta peels’ powder have an excellent potential for the removal metal ions from industrial effluents.
