This study highlights the potential use of yellow Zea mays seed chaff (YZMSC) biomass as a biosorbent for the removal of Cr3+,
Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Fourier transformed Infrared analysis of the biomass suggests that YZMSC biomass is
basically composed of cellulose and methyl cellulose. The biosorption capacities, qmax, of YZMSC biomass for Cr3+, Cd2+ and
Pb2+ are 14.68, 121.95 and 384.62 mg/g respectively. Biosorption equilibrium was achieved at 20, 30 and 60 min for Cr3+, Cd2+
and Pb2+ respectively. YZMSC biomass was found to have higher biosorption capacity and overall kinetic rate of uptake for Pb2+
than for Cd2+ and Cr3+. However, Cr3+ had better initial kinetic rate of uptake by the biomass than Pb2+ and Cd2+. The Freundlich
equilibrium isotherm model was found to describe equilibrium data better than Langmuir model suggesting that biosorption of
these metal ions could be on more than one active site on the surface of YZMSC biomass. Kinetic study predicted the pseudosecond
kinetic model as being able to better describe kinetic data obtained than either modified pseudo-first order or Bangham
kinetic models. Biosorption of Cr3+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ onto YZMSC biomass was endothermic in nature with large positive entropy
values. Biosorption of these metal ions onto YZMSC biomass was observed to be feasible and spontaneous above 283 K.
Optimization of biomass weight for the removal of these metal ions suggest that 384 kg, 129 kg and 144 kg of YZMSC biomass is
required for the removal of 95% of Cr3+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ metal ions respectively from 100 mg/L of metal ions in 10 tonnes of
aqueous solutions.
