The data were analyzed by Freundlich, Langmuir, D-R, Flory-Huggins and Halsey adsorption models. Pseudo first order rate, Pseudo second order rate, Morris-Weber and Elovich equations were employed to understand the kinetics of the reaction. The characterization of the adsorbent was carried out by EDX and FTIR techniques. The order of maximum metal uptake calculated by D-R isotherm was Cu(II) > Pb(II) > Cd(II) and Ni(II), 453 mg g-1, 81 mg g-1, 13.82 mg g-1 and 1 mg g-1 respectively, with the energy of adsorption in the range of 9-15 for Ni(II) and Cd(II) expected for the ion exchange nature of adsorption and 7-8 for Cu(II) and Pb(II) showing the physical nature of adsorption. The calculated thermodynamic parameters like Gibbs free energy and enthalpy change demonstrate that adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Further it was observed that all four metal ions could be adsorbed at pH 6 with detection limits of 0.04-0.1 µg L-1. The method was successfully applied for the removal of these metal ions from the ground water, tap water and wastewater samples collected from different areas of Pakistan.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>09</month><day>26</day><year>2017</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>278</first_page><last_page>288</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_01944</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.001944</doi><timestamp>1714122115</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_01944</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
