EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PREPARATIONS OF ANNONA MURICATA L. LEAVES ON THE BIOSORPTION OF LEAD, NICKEL AND ZINC FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Annona muricata L. gained popularity in the last couple of years and has been acknowledged as a ?miracle cure for cancer?. The leaves are commercialized as tea. This study explored the utilization of the leaves as a biosorbent material in the removal of heavy metals Pb, Ni, and Zn in aqueous solution. Different preparations of the leaves were done: air drying (AD), oven drying (OD), drying under low heat using a burner (LHD), and drying in a furnace (FD). Heavy metal analysis after the biosorption experiment was done using microplasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (MP-AES). Results show that percent absorption/adsorption of lead is in the order of AD>FD>LHD>OD. In terms of percent nickel and zinc absorption, same trend was obtained, that is, FD>AD>LHD>OD. Adsorption isotherms, kinetics studies, FTIR and SEM analyses were done to explain the effects of the preparation methods in the biosorption of heavy metals.
