농산물의 갈무리시 발생되는 건조한 마늘, 쪽파 및 대파 뿌리 분말을 흡착제로 이용하여 수용액 중 이온 상태로 존재하는 Ni과 Pb의 흡착력을 시료의 입자별, 중금속의 농도별, 용액의 온도별, pH별로 분석하였다. 중금속 이온들은 흡착제의 입자크기가 작을수록 흡착률이 높았고, 그중 마늘뿌리가 Pb에 대해 높은 흡착력을 나타냈다. 수용액중 중금속 농도가 높을수록 중금속들이 흡착되는 양이 증가하였고, 흡착률은 흡착제와 중금속의 종류에 따라 차이가 있었다. 온도의 증가는 쪽파와 대파에서 Ni과 Pb가 감소되었다. 알칼리 조건에서 비교적 흡착이 잘 되는 중금속은 Ni이며, 중성과 산성조건에서는 Pb의 흡착량이 높았다.

A batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the removal capacity of welsh onion(Allium fistulosum L.), shallot(Allium ascalonicum L.), garlic(Allium sativum L.) roots as an adsorbent for Ni and Pb in aqueous solution. One gram of the dried Allium root powder was reacted in 100ml of solution containing 10㎎ of each heavy metal and effects of metal concentration, pH, temperature, and size of adsorbent on the removal efficiency were evaluated. The results were as follows : The amount of adsorption of heavy metal ions were higher with the smaller particles size of adsorbent. Garlic root was high adsorption capacity of Pb, especially. The higher concentration of heavy metal solution was, the more amount of adsorption of heavy metals was. The adsorption ratio was differed from a kind of heavy metal. As the temperature increased, the amount of adsorption of Ni and Pb by shallot and welsh onion were decreased. The amount of adsorption of Ni was high under alkali conditions but the amount of adsorption of Pb was high under neutral and acidity condition.
