One of the most significant pollutants released into the environment by industrial processes is heavy metals. The adsorption technique has emerged as a leading strategy for metal ion removal in the last several years. The mass transfer process can be enhanced with the help of ultrasound. This study examined the effectiveness of high frequency ultrasonic waves in increasing the absorption of nickel (II) in aqueous solutions containing Fe3O4 nanoparticles. A higher initial amount of adsorbent was associated with a higher removal efficiency of nickel (II). When comparing the effectiveness of using shakers and an ultrasonic test vessel, the latter achieved a maximum efficiency of 84.3% at 60 minutes of contact time, 8 g of adsorbent at pH=5, while the former performed better. On the other hand, while using a shaker and 100 minutes of contact time with 10 g of adsorbent and pH=9, the greatest efficiency was 54.79%. Looking at how contact time affected the adsorption rate, we found that it was fastest at the beginning of the contact period. Increasing the contact duration and equilibrium time resulted in an increase in the amount of nickel (II) elimination from 20 minutes to 60 minutes when using either a shaker or a test vessel. But when using a shaker, the nickel (II) removal rate spiked again between the 60-minute and 80-minute contact times, reaching a peak of 79.54% in the latter. Actually, cavitacin and high-frequency ultrasonic waves can produce microcurrents that remove a large amount of nickel (II) from water in a very short amount of time. A modest quantity of adsorbent was able to achieve a rapid increase in absorption rate when ultrasonic waves were introduced into the test vessel.
