Abstract

This paper reports the use of an orchid plant of Vanda species for absorptive removal of hazardous As(III) from aqueous solution. Optimum conditions were determined by analyzing various parameters such as pH, contact time, biomass dose and initial metal ion concentration and the interfering radicals. In batch studies the percentage removal of As(III) was 98 % per gram of adsorbent for As(III) concentration of 2 mg/L. The adsorption isotherm models such as Langmuir and Freundlich were studied and both were found to be valid. Characterization of biosorbent was done by FTIR and SEM-EDS analysis. FTIR analysis confirms the biosorption process involved OH, CO and NH functional group in the removal of As(III). SEM result shows structural changes on surface and EDS result reveals the presence of As(III) on the surface of biosorbent. The maximum biosorption potential, through the continuous flow study was 0.9 mg/g.
