This study investigates the possibilities of using Lagenaria vulgaris biomass as a biosorbent for removal of heavy metals from wastewater and natural water. The experiments were carried out with model solutions of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+, in batch system. The effects of contact time, temperature, initial metal concentration and adsorbent doses, on the adsorption of heavy metals have been studied. Results show that biosorbent based on Lagenaria vulgaris represent efficient and low-cost means for pretreatment of heavy metals contaminated waters.
