Abstract: Adsorption of Pb2+ from aqueous solution onto activated carbon prepared from coconut shell by microwave heating(MAC) was investigated in a batch system. The effects of temperature on adsorption thermodynamics were studied. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibbs free energy (ΔGΘ), standard enthalpy (ΔHΘ), and standard entropy (ΔSΘ) were evaluated by applying the Van't Hoff equation. The thermodynamics of Pb2+ adsorption onto activated carbon indicates that it is of spontaneous and exothermic nature. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data at different temperatures and the equilibrium data were found to be well represented by the Langmuir isotherm equation.

Key words: activated carbon, adsorption, lead, thermodynamics, microwave heating
