Abstract

This study, using environmentally friendly bio adsorbents to purge industrial wastewater of heavy metal ions is an effective strategy. However, Melissa officinalis L. is used to remove manganese ions. No research has been conducted on its methanol extract (MEIG). To remove harmful manganese ions from aqueous solutions, leave of the plant were studied as bio adsorbents in a batch adsorption model. To determine the optimal conditions, intermittent adsorption tests were performed. Adsorption occurred rapidly, taking 90 minutes to reach equilibrium. In order to remove harmful manganese ions from aqueous solutions, portions of the plant were studied as bio adsorbents in a batch adsorption model. To find the ideal circumstances, intermittent adsorption tests were carried out. Adsorption happened quickly; it took 90 minutes to reach equilibrium. To optimize the procedure, the effects of time, dosage, concentration, and pH were methodically examined. After 90 minutes, the maximum removal rates of manganese ions from equilibrium were 94.05% under ideal circumstances for efficiently eliminating lead ions (Mn) from aqueous solutions. utilizing an R2 value of 0.9905 the Langmuir model with and Melissa officinalis Extraction -@Diethanolamine. Following characterization, N-H stretching appeared around 3290.The alcoholic extract of Melissa officinalis was shown to have a varied chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
