Synthesis of ecologically effective adsorbent from theba pisana snails for enhanced adsorption of Pb and Fe.

ABSTRACT: This study introduces an innovative approach to repurposing agricultural pest snails as effective adsorbents for heavy metal removal, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for wastewater treatment. The recovery of metal ions such as lead and ferrous ions (Pb (II), Fe (II)) from contaminated and aqueous solutions has been investigated using the land snail, Theba pisana, by a single thermal decomposition method. The produced material was successful in removing heavy metals from solutions, as evidenced by the improved adsorption effectiveness of the generated adsorbent. By adjusting several physicochemical factors, including time, pH, dosage, beginning concentration, and temperature, batch experiment research has been clarified. The optimization of lead and iron ion adsorption onto
