Heavy metals in effluent wastewater from industries is a big concern for the environment. Zinc, a heavy metal from ceramic wastewater if directly released to a natural water body may cause a problem. This heavy metal may be self-contained by the river up to its saturation but may create a problem at the later stage. The use of Zero valent iron (ZVI) for adsorption of different heavy metals has shown satisfactory result. In this work the use of ZVI for removal of zinc from ceramic wastewater was done. In order to know the effect of different variable parameters like pH, time, ZVI dose and initial concentration of zinc, central composite design of a response surface methodology called was used. The design was used to know the significant factor and to optimize the process parameters for efficient adsorption. This study also includes batch adsorption experiments including adsorption capacity, adsorption isotherm study and kinetic study for zinc adsorption process. In order to determine isotherm parameters Langmuir and Freundlich equilibrium models were applied. The adsorption of zinc onto zero valent iron was conformed to change in morphology before and after adsorption with help of scanning electron microscope and change in spectra of energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.
