Abstract

Biosorption of Cadmium (Cd (II)) and Arsenic (As (III)) ions from aqueous solution by tea waste
biomass was examined in a batch experimental setup. The effects of pH and temperature on the
biosorption were studied in this work. The optimum pH values for the maximum efficiency of
biosorption of Cd (II) and As (III) ions were found to be 5.5 and 7.5, respectively. The adsorption
process was endothermic in nature and spontaneous. Further, about 95% and 84.5% removal of Cd
(II) and As (III) ions was obtained at 200 mg/l of adsorbate and 6 g/l and 7 g/l of adsorbent dosage,
respectively. The present study showed that tea waste biomass can serve as a good and cheap
substitute for conventional carbon based adsorbents for removal of metal ions from industrial
wastewater.
