Abstract :
The study investigates the use of Matki seed husk (MtSH), a low-cost and abundant agricultural waste, as adsorbent for removing nickel metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this research, the effect of contact time, effect of temperature, effect of adsorption dose, pH and initial concentration of metal ions on MtSH adsorbent capacities has been investigated. The adsorption of Ni2+ metal ions was investigated by using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and equilibrium data were successfully fitted to the Freundlich models. The optimum adsorption was observed at pH 5, with spontaneous and exothermic adsorption. The study recommends MtSH as a cost-effective and easily available bio-adsorbent for removing toxic heavy Ni2+ metal ions from industrial wastewater. The bio-adsorbent can be reused up to five times without significant loss of adsorption capacity. Overall, this present study demonstrates that Matki seed husk can be a promising low-cost bio-adsorbent for the removal of Ni2+ metal ions from aqueous solution, offering significant environmental benefits. The results of this study can be used to develop cost-effective and sustainable strategies for wastewater treatment and pollution control.
