Abstract
Wastewater adversely affects humans and another animal including metal like Pb, As, Zn, Hg, and Cd in wastewater (domestic or industrial). These toxic metals affect human health and are a serious threat to the environment by the precipitation, adsorption, accumulation in the food chain and non-biodegradable nature, respectively. In the present study, treatment of industrial wastewater in terms of toxic Pb(II) removal was investigated by the using of copper oxide alginate (CuO/Alg) nanocomposite. The CuO/Alg nanocomposite was prepared by chemical reduction method in solution phase, and synthesized particles size were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The wastewater sample collected from WWTP of the local electroplating industry is located in Okhla Industrial Area, New Delhi. A series of experimental approaches have been used to remove Pb2+ from industrial wastewater with CuO/Alg nanocomposite, which includes sorbent mass, competitive ion, contact time, and SEM. The SEM image of CuO/Alg nanocomposite showed that particles had a sheet-like shape and mean diameter of about 18.09 nm. The test was performed under the batch condition to determine the adsorption rate and uptake at equilibrium from single component solution. The maximum uptake value of Pb2+ in single component solution was 118.40 mg/g from wastewater. The CuO/Alg nanocomposite identified as the most promising sorbent with an effective potential of removal of Pb2+ from wastewater is due to their high metal uptake.
