    This research paper aimed to establish the optimal conditions for lead (Pb(II)) ions from industrial wastewater (IW) using response surface methodology and central composite design (CCD) approach. A fixed-bed column study was designed by using a novel and reusable biocomposite material, Amanita vaginata (A. vaginata) immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 resin (A&XAD-4@AV), to find out biosorption behavior of Pb(II) ions. Various experimental variables such as optimum pH value, biocomposite material amount, flow rate, and Pb(II) ions initial concentration were investigated, which significantly affected the Pb(II) ions removal efficiency. The maximum Pb(II) removal efficiency of A&XAD-4@AV biocomposite material was determined as 11.2 mg g−1 under optimum conditions. The reusability of A&XAD-4@AV biocomposite material was found to be suitable. For checking model adequacy, a regression model was derived using CCD to predict the responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and lack of fit test was performed. It was observed that the quadratic model, which was controlled and proposed, originated from experimental design data. The ANOVA showed a high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9896, R2Adj = 0.9800, R2Pred = 0.9633). Finally, developed and optimized method was applied effectively to wastewater for determining Pb(II) ions levels. The current study indicated that the prepared A&XAD-4@AV is an efficient material to remove of Pb(II) ions from IW.

    Mercury (II) ions have significant ecological impacts. In the current study, magnetized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were green synthesized and encapsulated with alginate (ALG). The nanoparticles were converted into a composite (Fe3O4/ALG). The Fe3O4/ALG beads were used to remove Hg (II) from industrial wastewater. Characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy—energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA). A central composite design (CCD) approach was performed to define the experimental conditions providing the highest global adsorption efficiency and to optimize the pH, temperature and adsorbent mass. Hg (II) concentrations were determined by flame and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS and ETAAS). The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 1.2 mg L−1 and 3.5 mg L−1 for FAAS and 0.2 µg L−1 and 0.5 µg L−1 for ETAAS, respectively. Additionally, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to determine the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/ALG was determined to be 49.18 mg g−1 by the Langmuir model. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of Hg (II) best fitted the pseudo-second order model. The Gibb’s free energy (ΔG°) values showed that the adsorption of Hg (II) on Fe3O4/ALG occurred spontaneously.
