AB  - The shell of Lagenaria vulgaris (LV) plant was used as biosorbent for strontium removal from aqueous solutions. Chemical structure of the biosorbent's surface was characterized by the means of FTIR and Boehm's titrations. SEM-EDX technique was used to study the morphology and elemental composition of the material. The analyses pointed out to abundance of acidic functional groups which are charged in solution and hence responsible for ionic exchange of Sr(II) ions. Sorption was examined by varying initial concentrations of Sr(II) in solutions, sorbent's loadings, pH, and contacting times. Equilibrium of the process was attained in the first 10 min of contacting and followed pseudo-second order and Chrastil's kinetic models. It was established that sorption onto aLVB was heterogenous by nature and fitted well to Freundlich and Sips isotherm models with maximum sorption capacity of 29.55 mg g(-1). Sorption potentail was kept high after six cycles when acidic desorbents were used.

AB  - Practical aspects of Lagenaria vulgaris shell conversion to activated carbon were examined along with its use in ranitidine adsorption. Kinetics and isotherms of adsorption onto Lagenaria vulgaris carbon (LVC) were correlated to several theoretical adsorption models. The best fit was found in the case of Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model indicating monolayer adsorption. The influence of pH under kinetic study showed slightly hindered adsorption below pH 4. The optimal adsorbent dosage was set to 1 g/L. LVC was characterized by several complementary techniques, including wet chemical techniques such as Boehms titrations and determination of pH(pzc) and pH of LVC, which revealed neutral nature of the adsorbent. N-2 sorptometry determined specific surface area of 665 m(2)/g and significant ratio of micropores in the sample with maximum walls diameter of 2.2 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the role of lignin and cellulose in the formation of the final LVC structure. Porous structure of the material was proved by using scanning electron microscopy. Preparation of LVC material drew attention as an easy and low-cost process for production of a highly efficient adsorbent which exhibited fast kinetics of ranitidine removal in the first minutes of contacting and large adsorption capacity (315.5 mg/g) at equilibrium.
