The adsorption of cefradine was carried out using biological adsorbents of powder and carbon prepared from orange peels, an agriculture by-product. The equilibrium was easily reached in less than 10 minutes, with adsorption rates of more than 98%. Cefradine showed a firm combination to the adsorbent, which could hardly be damaged or affected by pH values. After equilibrium was reached within 1 h, no desorption behavior was observed in the next 30 minutes. The adsorption process could be well fitted thermodynamically to both Freundlich and Langmuir equations. Similar results could also be obtained using ashes of orange peel, as well as carbon prepared from pistachio and peanut hull, indicating an attractive option to treat industrial wastewater.

Effluents from essential industries have been characterized with heavy metals which are non-biodegradable in nature and also detrimental to health when accumulated in body tissues over long exposure. Adsorption was proved as the best efficient process amongst others to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater due to its excellent features. Activated carbons from nanoparticles of agricultural wastes such as pods, shells, husks, peels, shafts and many prepared via calcination process at high temperature can be used as active adsorbent for the industrial wastewater treatment involving heavy metals removal. This chapter discusses heavy metals in industrial wastewater effluents and potential agro wastes from which nanoparticles of activated carbon for industrial wastewater purification could be generated. The transformation of agro wastes nanoparticles into activated carbons via calcination and their applications for heavy metals removal from industrial wastewater via adsorption were examined. Various characterization techniques to study the effects of calcination on structural, morphological and textural properties of activated carbon prepared from agro waste nanoparticles were also discussed. Various isotherm, kinetics, mechanistic and thermodynamics models to investigate the adsorptive nature of the process were presented. Error functions and algorithms for both the linear and non-linear isotherm models regression to affirm their fitness for prediction were presented. Lastly, proposed adsorption mechanisms of heavy metals removal from industrial wastewater using activated carbons from nanoparticles of agro wastes were presented.
