  • Description: In the present study, the natural biosorption capacity of Acacia nilotica sawdust (wood biomass) was studied for the removal of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) heavy metal ions. The process was optimized for several important factors such as pH, contact time, biomass amount, and metal ion concentration. The maximum biosorption of Zn onto Acacia nilotica sawdust was 66.092% at pH 7.0, contact time 20 min, biomass concentration 0.4 g, and initial Zn concentration 8.4 mg/L. The maximum Cu biosorption to Acacia nilotica sawdust was 66.097% at pH 4, contact time 45 min, biomass 0.8 g, initial metal ion concentration 27 mg/L. The experimental data were analyzed by two different adsorption isotherms i.e. Langmuir and Freundlich models. Based on the regression coefficient the Freundlich isotherm model showed the best fit for Zn whereas Cu metal ion adsorption gave a favorable fit for Langmuir isotherm. Both metal ions followed pseudo-second-order kinetics in the adsorption process using sawdust of Acacia nilotica.
