Abstract :

I n this study, adsorption process performance was assessed using metal oxide nanoparticles for wastewater treatment containing lead in a laboratory scale. Nickel oxide nanoparticles and copper oxide nanoparticles were prepared and fully characterized considering their adsorption properties (surface area and pore volumes) as well as their chemical structure and morphology. Application of using the produced metal oxide nanoparticles for removal of lead was evaluated in a batch operation system. Studying of the operating conditions namely; effects of contact time, dosage of adsorbent, initial concentration as well as effect of pH were carried out. Also kinetics and isotherm study that describe the adsorption process are carried out.
