Abstract
The ability of mixed biomass (stems and leaves) of an invasive plant Reynoutria japonica tobind up Zn(II) ions has been studied. For modelling of kinetic data, pseudo-second-order model was used.The sorption equilibrium data were described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models; the processeswere in concordance with obtained Langmuir and Freudlich isotherms. Both linear and non-linear modelswere suitable for data modelling. Maximal sorption capacity for Zn(II) was 8.97 mg/g (PAB 0.5). Thesorption mechanism explained as ion exchange was described using EDS analyses. The binding groups ofleaves and stems of R. japonica biomass were analyzed using FTIR method. For desorption of Zn(II)from R. japonica mixed biomass, 0.2M H2SO4 was successfully used.
