The adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on litchi pericarps was investigated as a function of temperature, pH, and adsorbent dose using batch experiments. The experimental data obtained were evaluated using adsorption equilibrium isotherms and a kinetic model. Additionally, the removal of Pb(II) in leachate of litchi pericarps was also evaluated. The results show that litchi pericarps exhibit a high adsorption capacity to Pb(II), with the maximum removal efficiency occurring at a temperature of 25 °C, a pH of 6.0?7.0 and an adsorbent dosage of 10 g/L. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model can all fit the equilibrium adsorption satisfactorily, with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.9935, 0.9918 and 1.0, respectively. An average removal efficiency of 66.65% is found for Pb(II) in leachate of litchi pericarps.
