Removal of Ni (II) and Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution using Amberlyst-15 ion exchange resin as an adsorbent
Heavy metals are among the most inorganic hazardous pollutants. Therefore, the removal of metal ions in man-made and natural water sources is essential in order to protect the various ecosystems. Adsorption is by far the most versatile technique for removal of metal ions especially when adsorbent re...

Heavy metals are among the most inorganic hazardous pollutants. Therefore, the removal of metal ions in man-made and natural water sources is essential in order to protect the various ecosystems. Adsorption is by far the most versatile technique for removal of metal ions especially when adsorbent regeneration and reuse could improve cost effectiveness. The high cost and difficulty of separating of activated carbon restrict its application in wastewater treatment. Organic ion exchange resins are found more suitable for the removal of toxic elements due to their faster kinetics, ease of regeneration and high exchange capacity. Thus the present study was aimed to evaluate the potential use of Amb-15 ion exchange resin as a an adsorbent for Ni(II) and Pb(II) metal ions. To achieve this aim, the adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the efficiency of Ni(II) and Pb(II) removal in wide variety of experimental parameters .The adsorption of metal ions onto the adsorbent was found to be highly dependent on the adsorbent dose, the initial concentration of metal ions and contact time.
