Abstract
This research investigates the optimized biosorption of zinc ions using lignocellulosic materials derived from Vitis vinifera, specifically grape stems and vine shoots. The study aims to address heavy metal pollution by utilizing agricultural waste for sustainable and cost-effective zinc ion removal from wastewater. The biosorbents were prepared and characterized, and key parameters such as initial zinc ion concentration, pH, biosorbent dose, and stirring time were optimized using Response Surface Methodology with Box-Behnken Design. The kinetics of adsorption were represented by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, while the equilibrium isotherms were characterized using Langmuir and Freundlich models. The research achieved zinc ion removal efficiencies of up to 99.41% for grape stems and 91.93% for vine shoots. The optimal conditions for biosorption were found to be a pH of 7, a biosorbent dose of 2.1 g for grape stems and 2.5 g for vine shoots, and a stirring time of 25 min for grape stems and 18 min for vine shoots. Functional groups and alterations in the surface morphology of the biosorbents were verified through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Life Cycle Assessment provided insights into the environmental impacts of zinc biosorption.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
