Abstract

The present work is based on the uptake of arsenic(III) ions from aqueous solution by new laboratory prepared manganese oxide coated egg shell powder. Manganese oxide coating on poultry egg shells increased the removal efficiency of arsenic(III) from 86 % of unmodified shells to 91.5 % of modified shell. The adsorption potential of a new sorbent manganese-oxide-coated egg shells (MOCES) was investigated for the removal of arsenic from industrial effluent using batch sorption experiments. The effects of different parameters such as adsorbent dose, pH, initial arsenic concentration, contact time and temperature were studied to monitor the adsorption behavior of the sorbent under these conditions. Equilibrium data was examined through Langmuir and Freundlich's isothermal models. Regression values were found to be 0.992 and 0.805, respectively which showed a fit of the equilibrium data in both of the models.
