Treatment of mining waste leachate by the adsorption process using spent coffee grounds

The removal of heavy metals from mining waste leachate by spent coffee grounds has been investigated. In synthetic solutions, metal uptake was studied in batch adsorption experiments as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, adsorbent concentration, particle size, and the effec...

520 |a The removal of heavy metals from mining waste leachate by spent coffee grounds has been investigated. In synthetic solutions, metal uptake was studied in batch adsorption experiments as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, adsorbent concentration, particle size, and the effect of co-ions (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn). Results showed that adsorption was significantly affected by pH, showing the highest affinity within a pH range of 5-7. Sorption of heavy metals reached equilibrium in 3 h. Removal percentages of metals ions increased with increasing dosage. Particle size did not have a significant influence on metal uptake. The adsorption of heavy metals was found to fit Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Maximum Zn, Cd and Ni uptake values were calculated as 10.22, 5.96 and 7.51 mg/g, respectively, using unwashed coffee grounds (UCG) as the adsorbent and 5.36, 4.28 and 4.37 mg/g when employing washed coffee grounds as the adsorbent. The presence of co-ions inhibited the uptake of heavy metals, divalent ions having a more negative effect than monovalent ions. The results obtained in the experiments with mining waste leachate showed that UCG is effective in removing heavy metals
