This research was conducted in several stages starting with adsorption and characterization studies followed by production and evaluation of filter cartridge prototype.

The results showed that Pb(II) and Methylene blue were the most adsorbed contaminants for all experimental conditions in single-system. However, the removal of all heavy metals and dyes was significantly reduced in multi-system due to competition effect for active sites on the adsorbent. The values of equilibrium separation factor (RL) and the Freundlich constants (n) indicated that the uptake of all contaminants by KBF was favorable. FESEM analysis revealed significant changes on adsorbents surface following interaction with contaminants. The uptake of heavy metals by KBF was confirmed by EDX analysis. FTIR analysis proved that hydroxyl, carboxyl and amine are the main functional groups involved in heavy metals and dyes uptake.
