The study was conducted using a completely mixed batch technique. Quantitative evaluation of the experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of oxine impregnated activated carbon was higher than that of the virgin activated carbon for the three heavy metals. For oxine impregnated activated carbon, the Freundlieh distribution coefficient, kd , values were 23, 100, and 104 times larger than those of the virgin activated carbon for cadmium, copper, and zinc, respectively. Moreover, for oxine impregnated activated carbon, the kd values followed the sequence Cu 〉 Zn 〉 Cd which aggress well with the stability constants reported in the literature for the complexation of the three heavy metals with 8-Hydroxyquinoline.展开更多

Scoria was characterized by various methods, such as XRD, XRF, FT-IR and SEM. The results show that scoria sample contained augite, enstatite, diopside, and olivine. These minerals were separated from each other and each mineral was then subjected to the adsorption experiments. It was found that the main absorbent constituent in scoria was augite. Finally, statistical experimental method was used to optimization of adsorption conditions（Initial concentration of copper and cadmium ions, the amount of scoria and temperature） for removal of Cu（II） and Cd（II） ions from solution in optimum conditions. The optimum conditions are obtained as follows： concentrations of Cu（II） and Cd（II） of 400×10-6 and 554×10-6, respectively; amount of scoria of 7 g; temperature of 38 ℃. Under these conditions Cu（II） and Cd（II） ions are absorbed onto the scoria more than 79% and 16%, respectively.展开更多
