Abstract

The dissemination of heavy metals such as zinc in the environment caused a contamination of groundwater and rivers. In order to curb this phenomenon, it becomes essential to develop a method to remove these toxic materials. Among these techniques, we have adsorption on biosorbents; these materials are efficient, inexpensive, and abundant.

In our study, we have adsorbed/desorbed zinc on peel of peas. From the obtained results, we learn that the elimination of zinc by our adsorbent is done by ion exchange and the substrate can be regenerated with hydrochloric acid.
