Adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using magnetic carbon composite of banana peel

Synthesis of activated magnetic carbon from banana peel as Pb(II) adsorbent. The results of the synthesis are characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDX and XRD. The adsorption parameters have studied are shaking time, adsorbent mass and adsorption process was evaluated using kinetics. Furthermore, the XRD analysis showed the crystalline nature of the addition of Fe2+ solution and the SEM-EDX showed a homogeneous morphological form. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of adsorption from activated carbon of magnetic banana peels. The optimum mass for adsorption was obtained 0.035 grams with 96.95% adsorption, while the optimum time obtained is 15 minutes with 97% adsorption and reaction follow the pseudo-second order of kinetics.
