THERMODYNAMICS OF HEAVY METALS (Hg2+, Cd2+, Fe2+AND Ni2+) ADSORPTION USING BOILER FLY ASHBy Jude C. Igwe, Okoronkwo N. E., Aghalibe C. U., Onwuka K. E., Achilike K. O, Joseph E. E., Ujarah C. E.
Abstract: The effect of temperature on the adsorption of heavy metals, Hg2+, Cd2+, Fe2+ and Ni2+ using unactivated boiler fly ash (an agricultural waste) was investigated. The results showed that Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions were mostly affected by increase in temperature because their sorption rate decreased at high temperature. At the temperature of 273 K and 383 K, the amount of Hg2+ adsorbed (mg/g) by the unactivated boiler fly ash was …
