Utilization of fish bone as adsorbent of Fe3+ ion by controllable removal of its carbonaceous component
Abstract
The performance of fish bone to adsorb Fe3+ ion in solution was studied.
Powdered fish bone and carbonized fish bone were used as adsorbent. All absorbents
were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TG analysis. Powdered fish bone and
carbonized fish bone were effective as adsorbent for removing Fe3+ ion in solution.
The metal adsorptions of Fe3+ ion were 94 and 98% for powdered fish bone and fish
bone which carbonized at 400 and 500 °C.
