Abstract:-The sorption abilities of powders of leaves, stems or ashes of Eichhornia plant have been explored in extracting Ammonia from polluted waters. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, sorbent concentration and equilibration time have been optimized for the maximum extraction of Ammonia. Successful procedures have been developed in removing quantitatively more than 80.0% of Ammonia from simulated waters. Anions like Chlorides, Fluorides, Sulphate, Phosphate and Carbonates have shown marginal interference while cations like Ca2+, Mg2+ Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+and Ni2+ have interfered to some extent. However, the % of extractability of Ammonia never comes down 67.0%. The adoptability of the methodologies developed in this work are tested with diverse samples collected from industrial effluents and naturally existing polluted lakes and it is found that the procedures are remarkably successful.
Keywords:- Ammonia, pollution control, bio-sorbents, applications. |
