The adsorbent was chemically modified using 1M zinc chloride (1M ZnCl) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy was carried out to identify the surface functional groups of the adsorbent. Heavy metals such as Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr) and Cobalt (Co) were of interest and the sorption capacity at the optimum adsorbent dosage of 0.2 g and 50 minutes contact time was: Fe Cd Cr Cu Co Pb Co in order of 99.707, 99.106, 98.078,85.547, 84.428 and 58.529% respectively. Both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations described the adsorption data but the experimental equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich equation. The Pseudo-second-order rate equation gave a good fit to the experimental data. The study shows that activated groundnut shell represents a good adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from waste engine oil. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Chemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Minerals and phytochemical analysis of watermelon seeds (Citrullus Lanatus)»Production of hair growth oil and body lotion from Pumpkin and Pawpaw seed oil»Kinectic study and heavy metals removals from used engine oil treated with groundnut shells»Synthesis and exploration of ion nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using humin enhanced biodegradable waste materials»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using CNB-TECH end product»Ethanol production from cocoyam peels»Biodiesel production using soybean oil and characterization»Comparative study of physico-chemical properties and essential mineral of some fruit juice orange and tomato»Analysis of the quality of groundwater (boreholes)»Spectroscopic and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extract of mahogany tree gum for possible biosynthetic process»Extraction and characterization of avocado seed oil»Production of biolubricant from Carica Papaya seed oil»Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Combretum Zenkeri Ubi»Biosynthesis of bark peel of aerial yam-magnesium oxide nano composites for biosensing application
