Abstract

Westudied the removal of heavy metals from synthetic waste water samples by using Golden Apple Snail shells,calcined at 1050^OC: they were able to removeup to 30% of copper(II) ions, 88% of cadmium(II) ions and 56% of lead(II) ions. The best performance was at pH 6. Metal removal followed a stable pseudo-second order reaction equation with parameters, k₂ and q_e, with k₂ values for Cu²⁺0.00377, Cd²⁺ 0.00278 and Pb²⁺ 0.00365 g/mg-min and q_e values of 9.65,25.9, 16.8 mg/g and we concluded that the sorption mechanism is primarily absorption into the pores of the sorbent . This adsorbing material had two advantages, that is, lower volume of the Golden Apple Snail Shell and a cost-effective absorbent. If further developed, this could lead to better and effective low cost treatment for polluted waste waters.
