The existence of metal ions in water supply has become a severe issue and
created an awareness of the important of finding the significant methods for
the removal of heavy metals (HM). In this study, the biosorbent used are Oil
Palm Mesocarp Fibe (OPMF) (Elaeis guineensis sp.) and Mangrove Bark
(Rhizophora apiculate sp.). These biosorbents are mixed to form the
biosorbent mixture (BM) to enhance the biosorption performance towards
Ni (II) and Pb (II) ions. Four parameters applied to investigate the biosorption
performance, i.e. reaction time, ratio/dosage, initial concentration and pH
values. The biosorption performance for Pb (II) (90%, 5.7mg/g) was higher
than Ni (II) (55%, 3.9mg/g). Five kinetic models were exercised to investigate
the kinetic mechanisms namely pseudo-first and second-order, Bangham's
theory, intra-particles diffusion and Elovich equation. The isotherm models i.e
Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin Isotherm are
exercised to analyse the equilibrium biosorption data. Overall, the pseudosecond-order discovered to act as biosorption kinetics for both Ni (II) and Pb
(II) ions. The equilibrium biosorption data of Pb (II) follows Temkin Isotherm,
and the Ni (II) supported by the Freundlich Isotherm.
