Two series of activated carbon have been prepared by chemical activation of Amygdalus Scoparia shell with phosphoric acid or zinc chloride for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Several methods were employed to characterize the active carbon produced. The surface area was calculated using the standard Brunauer-Emmet-Teller method. The microstructures of the resultant activated carbon were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The chemical composition of the surface resultant activated carbon was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the batch tests, the effect of pH, initial concentration, and contact time on the adsorption were studied. The data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich equations to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on the resultant activated carbon was 36.63 mg g−1 with H3PO4 and 28.74 mg g−1 with ZnCl2. To regenerate the spent adsorbents, desorption experiments were performed using 0.25 mol L−1 HCl. Here we propose that the activated carbon produced from Amygdalus Scoparia shell is an alternative low-cost adsorbent for Pb(II) adsorption.

In the present work, a new SiO2/TiO2/Ce, nanoparticle was synthesed using sol-gel method and evaluated as an adsorbent for preconcentration trace amounts of Pd(II) ions. The characterization of the nanoparticles has been studied by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The preconcentration method is based on palladium adsorption onto the surface of nanoparticle at pH 8.5. The main factors affecting Pd(II) adsorption, such as pH of sample solution, concentration and volume of eluent, sample volume, interfering of the coexisting ions and flow rate of sample and eluent were investigated and optimized. At optimum conditions, linearity was maintained between 4.0 to 1000.0 ng mL−1. Detection limit based on 3Sb/m was 2.3 ng mL−1. Seven replicate determinations of a solution containing of 12.5 µg palladium gave a relative standard deviation ±1.7%. According to the Langmuir linear model, the maximum adsorption capacity of palladium was found to be 34.5 mg g−1. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method for Pd(II) determination was assessed by analysis of certified reference materials, anodic slime and wastewater samples and satisfactory results were obtained.
