Abstract

The most significant problem for an industrialised region is pollution from heavy metals in industrial waste water. One of the widely found heavy metal in industrial waste is Lead. In this study, modified granular activated carbon with Guaiacol (2-Methoxyphenol) was used to examine the removal of toxic metal lead from aqueous solutions. Lead was adsorbed using GAC filtrasorb-100 (GAC F-100) and Norit-830 (GAC N-830) at a constant temperature of 25 ± 1°C and a rotational speed of around 500 rpm. For the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models, the adsorption data were thoroughly analysed.
