Keeping environment and sustainability concept in view with preparation of new sorbents, two waste by-products from the poultry industry, i.e. feather and eggshell, were used for synthesis of a new magnetic activated carbon for sorption of heavy metal ions. Using response surface methodology based central composite design (RSM-CCD) technique, chicken feather and acid-digested eggshell were used as precursor and activation material, respectively, for the synthesis of the herein studied activated carbon (eggshell activated chicken feather carbon; ESCFC). The prepared activated carbon was magnetized for easy separation from water media, and iron oxide magnetized ESCFC (IOM-ESCFC) was comprehensively examined for removing some heavy metallic ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+) from water. The maximum mono-layer sorption capacities and the highness of sorption speed, along with thermodynamic studies, demonstrated that IOM-ESCFC can be regarded as a potential adsorbent against heavy metal ions from waters and wastewaters.
