Heavy metals have been implicated in a lot of diseases affecting man today. These heavy metals include Arsenic, Mercury, Zinc, Lead, and Cadmium among others. The study of heavy metals is important as they tend to bio-accumulate, but do not biodegrade in the human body. This has necessitated the need for innovative and cost-effective methods to remove heavy metals from the body and the environment. This study was designed to evaluate the potential of Jackfruit seed (Artocarpus heterophyllus) as an adsorbent for heavy metals under varying conditions such as time, particle size, and dose. The powdered jackfruit seed was subjected to sieve analysis, in which sizes 2000μm, 850μm, and 425μm were used for adsorption studies. The samples were analyzed using an Atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS) to check the concentration of metal ions in the solution. The results showed that adsorption of lead>arsenic>cadmium, and varied at different adsorbent doses, contact time, and particle sizes. The equilibrium data of the study was well-fitted for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. They also show that Jackfruit seed has great potential to serve as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly bio-sorbent for heavy metal removal from solution.
