Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of granitic residual soil-supported nano zero-valent iron (Gr-nZVI) for the removal of the heavy metals Pb2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Cd2+ Ni2+ and Zn2+ in mixture solutions under different experimental conditions of batch equilibrium tests. In this study, Gr-nZVI was successfully synthesized by using the chemical reduction of Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate (FeCl3.6H2O) and Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4). The physical and chemical properties, morphology and mineralogy of all adsorbents were characterized by the Braeuer�Emmett�Teller (BET) method, cation exchange capacity (CEC), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

The results show rapid adsorption within 5 min in the initial adsorption stage for Pb2+ on nZVI (qe.Pb = 17.89 mg/g) and Gr-nZVI (qe.Pb = 15.29 mg/g). nZVI and Gr-nZVI also showed no significant effects on pH and temperature, serving as a good example of an energy-efficient process. The isotherm data fitted better to the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the adsorption of all of the heavy metals. The diffusion models revealed that adsorption was not the only rate-limiting step.
