Abstract

The problem of water pollution persists and, in some cases, has been getting worse since many of the industries that are currently installed in developing countries do not comply with established standards. In order to reduce water pollution, various environmental standards have been established that aim to regulate the introduction of contaminating agents into water and, thereby, control the degree of alteration of the quality of the vital liquid. Adsorption allows minimizing the generation of toxic waste and the recovery of the metal. The objective of the work was to study the bioadsorption of Cr (VI) and Pb (II) using the dry peel of Tamarindus indica. We worked at different pH values and concentration levels. The determination of the chemical-physical parameters was carried out at the Empress Geominera Oriente. Adsorption isotherms were performed using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models, resulting in the maximum bioadsorption capacity of Cr (VI) and Pb (II) by biomass being 3.83 and 15.63 mg/g, respectively. reaching maximum removal percentages of 90.8%. The values of mean free energy of adsorption obtained from the Dubinin-Radushkevich model in Cr (VI) and Pb (II) were 10,000 kJ/mol, respectively, showing that, for these experimental conditions, the adsorption process is of a chemical nature.
