RESUMO

Adsorption of some metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ e Zn2+) from aqueous solutions (pH 5.0) onto in nature rice husk (0.088 < <0.177 mm) was investigated. All experiments were conducted by the batch adsorption techniques at room temperature (28  1C) and under constant stirring. The adsorption amounts were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The Adsorption data were studied using two well-known adsorption models: Langmuir and Freundlich. The results showed that the metal ions uptake processes mediated by rice husks were fitted Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting that all adsorptions are governed by weak electrostatic interactions. According to the equilibrium studies, the selectivity sequence can be given as: Ni2+ (0.08 mmol g-1)
