Abstract

Copper one of the most common toxic environmental pollutants that originate mainly from industrial processes. It is a recalcitrant and hazardous compound, which is toxic at relatively low concentration and hence, the safe level of Cu in drinking water for human is between 1.5 to 2.0 mg ⁄ L. The removal of copper pollutant from wastewater was studied. Tribulus terreststris herbal that is easily available in large quantities and feasible economically. Granular Tribulus terreststris herbal was prepared and used for the removal of Cu2+ from aqueous solution. The removal of copper pollutant from wastewater was studied. The physical and chemical properties of granular Tribulus terreststris herbal prepared were measured according to standard methods. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of temperature (20, 30, 40 and 50oC), pH (3, 5 and 7) and different initial concentrations ( 10, 20 and 30) ppm. The data obtained from the experiments conducted as per the Taguchi design to determine the optimal value of each parameter for the remove. MINITAB 16 software was used to optimize the parameters to remove the copper using the Taguchi method of optimization. pH of the medium effects on removal Cu2+ the most as compared to the temperature S/N ratio Larger is better for pH =27.774 in rank =1 while for temperature S/N ratio Larger is better =15.340 in rank =1. The optimum temperature and pH condition for the remove is 30oC and 5 respectively.
