Adsorption by low-cost adsorbents and biosorbents is recognized as an effective and economic method for low-concentration heavy metal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of the utilization of N,N′-bis(2, 5-dihydroxybenzylidene)-1, 4-diaminobenzene (DHDB)-immobilized sporopollenin (Schiff base-immobilized sporopollenin, Sp-DHDB) as a sorbent for removal of lead (II) ion from aqueous solution. The effects of different parameters (such as sorbate concentration, sorbent dosage, and pH of the medium) were investigated by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) technique. The experimental data were analyzed by the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich model and the procedure developed was successfully applied for the removal of lead ions in aqueous solutions. This investigation reveals a new, simple, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective method for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions by a new Sp-DHDB material.
