Abstract: A novel adsorbent, gelatin/activated carbon composite bead form (GE/AC), was used for adsorption and water treatment of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution. Gelatin and activated carbon materials (GE/AC) were combined together to form biosorbent to enhance the adsorption of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution. The effect of adsorbent dosage was examined and evaluated. The highest percent adsorption capacity of 100%, 95.04% , 91.02% and 89.06% for 50, 100 , 200 and 300 mg L-1, respectively at GE/AC 0.21 g , pH 5 and 23±2 by batch adsorption method were successfully accomplished.
