Abstract

Many industrial activities adversely affect the human health and environmental system. Wastewater containing high levels of pollutants such as metals is one of them. Nowadays metal pollution is the most concerned environmental problem. Various metals mainly mercury, cadmium, chromium, lead, copper, and arsenic present in wastewater are toxic and carcinogenic in nature. Coal-based activated carbon is favourable candidate for removing of toxic metals because of its high adsorption capacity compared to activated carbon (AC) derived from other sources. In this chapter, adsorption of metals present in wastewater using activated carbon is discussed. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm models, i.e. Langmuir or Freundlich, and adsorption kinetics model, i.e. pseudo-first order or pseudo-second order that commonly describe adsorption behaviour, are discussed. Further, the various factors affecting performance of AC to adsorb metals like the pH of solution, activated carbon impregnation, oxidation state, and temperature are discussed.
